Originally by: WarlockX edit: it seems solerium is already sky high. lol.
Well, as soon as all cheap advanced materials and moon minerals were grabbed, people moved for the intermediate reactions, obviously.
Interestingly, chromium is still relatively low. Seems it's taking some time for all of the stocks people have been holding onto due to chromium plummeting over the last few months to get sucked up.

Originally by: Akita T Well, I wouldn't exactly call it "killing its chances" (since I still think it will also go up anyway), just, you know, noticeably less profit than you probably hoped for 
What are your estimates for chrom given the new data?

Originally by: Turiel Demon I feel it is only fair if Akita, me, and others involved in this massive market deception take responsibility, bite the bullet and offer to buy Tech from you at 5k/unit
Being the overly generous guy that I am, I will buy tech back from the pour souls at a whopping 7.5K.

Edited by: Natasha Nikolaev on 13/12/2009 21:49:32 when prices are set to increase by many, many times their previous value the change always takes a while. People see item X selling for 10x what it used to sell for and they j*zz their pants, sell it and don't ask questions. Eventually, though, word gets 'round and prices go up to meet the actual demand.

mind sharing which HACs are in which hull class?
I would assume "C2 hulls" means tier 2 cruiser hulls, aka ishtar, vaga, zealot, cerb and thus "C3 hulls" is deimos, muninn, sac, eagle

Originally by: Helicity Boson I'd delay the onanistic activities for when//if it goes past 240k though.

You think CCP will not take action before it gets that high?

Originally by: corestwo Edited by: corestwo on 18/12/2009 21:31:50 It took CCP ages to do anything at all about dyspro and prom (alchemy) and it did nothing anyway. It took them ages longer to do anything again (this patch). The only reasons they might be faster this time around is either learning from previous mistakes, or because they tried to balance 0.0 with this patch and instead made the northern regions the most valuable in the game, since they have the only tech. I mean, I don't think inter-regional balance was on their agenda, but... 
However they DID react fast (relative to past events) with T3 prices. I imagine they won't jump the gun on this issue, but once things start to settle out in the not too distant future I imagine we'll see CCP step in.

Edited by: Natasha Nikolaev on 21/12/2009 06:03:40 I own over 25% of the remaining fullerides on market in jita and prices are rocketing. I love it.
Ofc I'm going to wake up to another 40m fullerides up but I feel special for the moment.

Originally by: Mahke [ If you're one of those silly 1100 blocking orders rise your dumb prices (if not, hifive for not making that mess worse either). We can easily sustain 1200/unit or a bit better if people were .01ing there instead of at 1100. It's not like people will be reacting new supplies at either pricepoint .
Confirming I'm not one of the silly 1100 orders

Originally by: Tiberizzle Third consecutive day of technetium volume less than 1M.
Speculation demand wanes, manufacturing demand much less than projected c/d?
VOLUME OF DYSOPRSIUM, PROMETHIUM, PLATINUM, CHROMIUM, etc. WAY LESS THAN 5 DAYS AGO!!! SPECULATION DEMAND WANING!!!!
THE BUBBLE IS OVER!!! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!
(you're ******ed)

Originally by: Akita Tee Link was sent
Linkage
If anyone would know, it would be him right?
based on the (few) other posts made under that name on SHC, I'm pretty sure that is not him/a troll. I'm pretty sure when Akita/Turiel were working up their tech numbers they talked to MM, anyways.

Yeah, people rushed into the nanotransistors reaction niche...
This also caused a shortage in fulleride production (as would-be fulleride producers moved to nanotrans) resulting in the fulleride price spike we've seen over the past few days.

Originally by: Akita T So the only question is, how much need for capital do they have now as opposed to some hypothetical future, and how much are they willing to gamble on how long would it take CCP to intervene above a certain price point.
Other alliances would "intervene" way before CCP would.

That would only replace the near-monopoly owners, not remove the near-monopoly status of whoever owns it 
That's assuming the NC would be completely/near completely pushed out. And even if this were to happen, I very highly doubt any (relatively) tightly knit group will ever again control as much of the tech as the NC does now.
Originally by: Queen Athena As soon as one NC member gets attacked you will see them undercut the rest of the "cartel" to milk as much profit as they can before falling.
Unless they're selling the tech to fund defense or evac, there is no reason to sell cheaply before "falling". It is not like the tech pile will disappear from their jita hanger when they lose the moons.

Originally by: RAW23 Seems pretty steady at 75 now and if Akita would just move his 500k order up a bit ...
Nu-uh, I like my EVE-Mon-based technetium price alert  If wallet goes up much, tech just broke 75k 
how about you move it to 85 and then you'll know when it has just broke 85.

I still wonder how they didn't know tech was going to do this. Even more confusing would be if they did. Either way, odd.

If they did, would they say so?
There's not a single reason to emasculate every single market so it becomes a zero volatility flatness of boredom.
If Dr. Eyjo fiddled with markets like some interventists would do, then EvE would become completely fake and crap.
If you were CCP, with a dedicated economist, and you said, "look, we gonna fix yo moongoo problems, spread the wealth n sh*t" and instead just ended up replacing dysp/prom with technetium which will probably end up with an even higher share of the total moongoo value than dysp/prom had and of which a vast majority of moons are in the northern region, would you say anything? Probably not.
If you're implying they knew, believed it would end this way and purposely did it anyways I'm going to bet against you. As others have pointed out in various places, 0.0 systems w/o tech are pretty unattractive right now and that's a lot of 0.0. Not what CCP wanted/wants.
Market intervention is exactly what they did when they made the changes in dec '09, they just F'ed it up, which seems hard to do when you literally have all of the relevant data to make fairly accurate predictions. Predictions Akita and others made through educated guesswork.

Originally by: oniplE
He does know, he says they dont know of any other reason apart from insufficient supply, which is basically what's going on. However, I very much doubt there's no hoarding going on. Many people invested in technetium and are holding on to it, i did the same.
Insufficient supply and insufficient supply reaching the market are two different things. The former causing prices to rise...anyone could tell you that. The latter is what the doc was talking about, and Akita was referring to, and that's what the doc can't answer. By saying they didn't see signs of hoarding he wasn't saying no one is stockpiling tech, just that no entity(s) is stockpiling to the point that it's the cause of the price rocketing. Think De Beers and diamonds.
My personal feeling is that they won't likely change T2 production again until they can answer that question and they decide the answer they get is it's due to poor balance. Otherwise I'd say they're more likely to just change moon distributions so the north doesn't have all the cheddar.
Of course if poor balance isn't the answer or they never figure out the answer and tech ends up above 200K and it's pure craziness, they will eventually change it anyways. But I don't see that being much of a possibility until next Spring/Summer expansion for the same reason given by Akita: they've already got more than enough on their plate for winter.

Edited by: Natasha Nikolaev on 25/07/2011 00:29:54 So are the russians done sh*tting on tech yet? I stopped watching for a few weeks and came back and saw it was in the 80s and nearly choked on my cheerios.
Too bad I wasn't following it more, could have made a lot of ISK buying the dip
