Edited by: AtheistOfFail on 31/12/2010 23:11:45 Oh yea. To all those MD elites who told me investing all my ISK in PLEX because they were as good as gold, I just wanted to say:
I still have my ISK, do you?
PS: Plexes have reached as low as 338m. I guess the whole Plex-For-Remap thing being cancelled is gonna hurt some people.
PSS: Also, no jokes about what military experts are calling this... please.

The suggestion of PLEX as a good investment was a short term one, made more than a month ago.

Lol, I don't think 1 month counts as an investment. More of putting money away under a couch and getting it back when you're cleaning up your house.
Still, point stands. I know a few people just got pwned by CCP's testing of Plex-For-Remaps. If anyone wants to approximate the damage, i'd be willing to have a laugh.

The damage for me was roughly 4 bil, over a weeks time.
Market experts called it a somewhat profitable investment.

Like total loss or did you actually make profit off it. I know some people might have been able to offload when the prices started turning or when CCP said they weren't letting P4R (Plex for Remaps) happen.

Slight market fluctuation != crash. They're still up 100m from same time last year. How is that a crash.

Down 100m from the about 2 months ago when everyone was crying against micro-transactions. How is this not a crash.

They always go down during the holidays. In 2 weeks they will be back up.

When did the Jita prices ever hit 400M isk? Two months ago the price was maybe 10M higher. You might want to check the facts before you say things that might make you look foolish...
There are currently oodles of folks off for the holidays, having tons of expendable cash (a lot of folks got hard cash for their Christmas). Also the redistribution of the SP from the Learning skills created an instant demand for skill books and new shiny equipment folks could suddenly use. The fastest way to get a lot of isk is by purchasing PLEX and selling it for isk on the market.

At holiday people don't start a whole bunch of new accounts, but they do want to sell GTC to play without grinding. Expect plex to tank at every holiday.

this.
(and if you read the PLEX threads it is something we did already point out when PLEX were still around 360m)

Oh profit, of course. Bought at 345-350 sold at closer to 400. Probably would've reinvested now if I had a client.

The question is, what is going to happen next? Will plex rise back up, level out at current prices or drop back down to prices around a year ago?

Back up where? PLEX price is supposed to raise slowly over time mostly due to easier ways to make money and inflation. They reached 400M and bit under because of PLEX for remap rumors, PLEX for Power-of-two and some manipulations, but basically there was no logical reason for such a high jump in price so now its coming back to normal. Markets usually take a while to correct themselves.

I suspect that PLEX prices will go 'back' up again in a week or so (everyone is back to school). There are many reasons why I suspect this, mostly due to more demand (PLEX for tickets, etc.) and less supply (vacations are over, extra RL cash is spent).

@OP
Excuse me, but since when buying on the rumor that something is peaking has yelded profits to anyone but the rumor starter?
It's obvious they will push others to buy and therefore inflate the price. Because when they scream "GO ALL BUY THE STUFF, IT'S HOT" it's the time before they dump their gazillions of stock. - Auditing & consulting

I buy into near enough any and all of those threads, and generally make a decent profit out of it. That is of course assuming the thread is noticed rather early after being posted. It's not more than a few percent extra return but none the less it is profit.

Experts are calling the OP an idiot, you are suppose to buy not sell when they are low. PLEX price will definatly reach 400 mil this year.

I think not, I find that I can earn more with other products. I only buy PLEX when I need them (month by month), that was last week, four for 350M isk a piece. The month before that four at 380M isk.
The influx of PLEX is not really limited by any ingame mechanics, thus I find the item far to unpredictable for short term investment. And I never ever keep enough isk around to buy 100 PLEX. PLEX pricing is far to uniform across regions to really profit from cross region trading, the margins in Jita are pathetic.
