What makes you think that all tech moons are being mine anyway.last time i checked only r64s were worth a damn and the rest barely covered all the bills.
Technetium isn't even R64, its R32, which is what makes his estimation even more entertaining, especially if it turns out to be true.

So has it occured to anyone that CCP might go "man we don't like all this speculation" and **** everyone by changing things at the last minute without putting it on Sisi?

I'm at work, is anything interesting happening? 
Neodymium & nanotransistors fairly stable at 17.2k and 3400 (last I checked); Technetium held at ~24000 and then people started selling it and undercutting in their typically idiotic fashion. When I logged out it was at about 19k.

You know what's really funny in retrospect ?
That guy who got kicked out of the CSM because he bought neodymium as "CCP insider tip".
Look at neodymium now
Its not as high as I'd like it to be, but even now its still at 4x the price it was when I cleaned out Jita after reading that devblog.

He also bought Thulium so my guess is that he got very limited information from CCP which most likely implied that the other r64's were getting boosted while the others nerfed, or something like that
To be fair, even simply hearing "Neodymium is getting buffed" would be (and was!) enough to get me to buy Thulium, just on the logically sound hedge that if you're going to buff one nigh worthless R64, you'd buff another.
In hindsight, I should have had on my "think like CCP" hat, but hey. At least I still sold it at a not-loss.

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...

My opinion, take with giant grain of salt:
I think CCP has noticed already, are already planning whatever change they will make, but will take a long time to implement.
Why? I think they dislike the current moon-minerals-come-from-static-moons paradigm. Its a non-dynamic point source resource that breaks with the ideology behind dominion (regardless of what you think about CCPs success or lack thereof of implementing that ideology). This means rather than a (relatively easy) rejiggering of ship recipes again (although we might see that as a short-term measure if tech hits 200k+/unit), they'll want to do something that allows for moon minerals to be generated or replaced by non moon sources.
Given how well they did with dominion (thinking mining is viable at all, thinking that the best way to improve ratting was to make a few more generally bad anomalies spawn per system, etc), a non-static moon system with the same driving principle frightens me. A lot.

Actually it briefly DID break 70k before backing off a bit.

What do you mean briefly? It's there now :P
At the time of my post it was at about 69.5, having dropped back to that after getting up to just shy of 73.
But yes, now its flirting with 80. :>

The big question when investing in tech is, imo, when will comets and/or some other major change effecting supply and demand hit. My guess is winter 2011 so as long as you get out before August 2011 you should be good ;P
I don't actually feel confident enough in that to mess around in the tech market tho. Good chance there's another 40% or more to be made, but it'd be a major bummer if they switched some blueprints around at the last minute for this expansion (for example).
Well it took them, what, five years to do anything about prom/dyspro? Less, I guess, but if they stay true to form its got awhile. ;)
(They probably would react faster this time but time will tell)

From the perspective of "point income sources are bad" its even worse than it was now, since all the tech is in the northern regions.

P.S. Meanwhile, hop on the gravy train of neodymium for as long as the tech slump lasts 
Although your intent is clear it's also a good call. Neo will hit 35k+ in no time. There is only a few billion ISK worth below 30k. Once that's bought up it jumps up into the 40's.
I had thought about clearing out the sub-24 stuff last night, couldn't decide and figured I'd check again in the morning.
Welp.

And hey, if that rumoured "Hulkageddon" over in C&P ever materializes as more than the ramblings of a few keeners, who knows how far and how high that glittering Neo will go...  .
Ah, summer... with the grubby smell of piracy and freshly refined Neo in the air, what could go wrong?
Hulkageddon would be all the more entertaining with the recent rise in Crystalline Carbonide. I mean, I dunno how much of that stuff goes into a hulk, but price rise is a price rise, right?
