Neodymium is capped by alchemy, though I can't be bothered to do the math: * Unrefined Neo Mercurite -> 40 Neo Mercurite + 95 Mercury * Unrefined Fluxed Condensates -> 40 Fluxed Condensates I tested this myself recently, as so many references are incorrect.
Given the current respective prices of the inputs, Neo can hardly be called "capped" by Alchemy, as the reaction is worth nearly a billion isk a month right now, and has been moving between 400-500m/mo for the past few weeks.

yeah huh, I guess the OP was right in calling it a manip.
well, whatever. after I read the OP I looked at numbers and decided to write a little post about alchemy because I figured people might want to know how to do something that's currently so relatively profitable.

really do control 80%+ of the related moons
TEST and PL control more like 35% of the Neo moons. While they might actually have other collaborators as claimed in the EN24 article...

This is the other problem. Every extra participant is one more person who could be selling at the cost of the others, secretly or otherwise. It's very much a classic example of the prisoner's dilemma.

There's an added element that often isn't present in "real" PD situations, too: anonymity. There are multiple participating parties but no monitoring amongst them. Likewise, there are plenty of non-participating members. As a result, it's all too easy for a participant to pass some of what they've stockpiled to an alt, dump it, and blame it on one of those non-participating members, or on "market speculators" or what have you.
