After watching the markets for some time, nothing needs doing, no shortage and everything continues to tick along.
This is a venue for rational and objective discussion. Your two liner not only contributes nothing to the discussion, but is motivated by the fact that your corp and your allies hold on to a few Dysprosium moons in Stain.
he's kinda right though; lately, prices for advanced materials have stagnated. the carbides and sylramic fibres have been dropping. my interpretation on these is more people jumping onto the bandwagon there - those are the "easier" reactions.
fermionic condensates may have undergone an upward correction the past few days, but the previous decline has been steady - it is back up to the value it had two months ago. the other stuff with dysp, prom or both in it (ferrogel & hypersynaptic fibres) may have slightly risen since early december, but it's far from the "we're all gonna die" direction implied in some of these posts here.
i'd say more dysp/prom moon owners do the reaction stuff themselves now, leaving the raw material market slightly dry and causing "ugly" prices there - and lots of rrom for manipulation appearantly (no there's no cartel... just a few rich market veterans doing market-pvp)
the initial bump is (long) over - invention around T2 BS and especially j-freighters has improved due to people learning from their mistakes (ME -5 copies... this might get ugly again with the weird idea about 10run t2 freighter bpc there)
but yeah, the initial problem stays: static supply vs a slightly growing player base and the SP inflation in it.
unless there will be more (big/capital) T2 ships coming up, this shouldn't be such an evil trend upwards.
it does make territorial warfare more rewarding but the spread really seems to be imbalanced (impass will probably stay the "safest" region that way :D - well... in every way...)
question is; how much of this is desired...? again: if no new T2 ships will get introduced, prices will not get too ugly.
