I understand, but how much of it lands at Jita? It seems awfully far away.
Nah. 15 jumps or so. Blink

It is not what I meant, Tippia. You are not going to take a freighter, load it up in 0.0 and set it on auto-pilot to Jita.

That is why there are jumpfreighters. Roll

Again, I understand, but why would you fill a jump freighter with tritanium or pyerite to sell it at Jita? Are minerals not needed in 0.0? Do they all end up at Jita only to go back into 0.0 again?

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

drone regions are a special case - they compress their minerals into supercaps to move/sell them easier

(actually I remember some russians losing jumprfreighters full of drone alloys last year so I guess some of it makes it directly to Jita - but my guess is that the primary motive there is evasion of refinery taxes, not lack of local demand)

in general, 0.0 is always suffering from a shortage in low-end minerals which have to be imported and exports some of its high-ends - people come there to mine ABCs, not to mine Veldspar.

It is not worth it to mine Veldspar in 0.0. The drone regions supplied ~80% of the higend minerals. What you don't use in 0.0 production (Nox, Zyrd, Mega, Morphite) you sell to the market, and buy the Trit, Pye, Mex, Iso, to ship back to 0.0(usually compressed into 425mm rails).

Thanks. This is what I was aware off, just not how the drone regions take influence on the low-end minerals.

You still don't get it, the Drone Regions accounted for 40% of the total minerals, and they still had to import low end minerals for production.

The last chance to buy cheap minerals was months ago. Rename your thread to 'Look at how dumb I am'. It'll be much more relevant.

You're an idiot.


Maybe.

But it doesn't feel like it.

For example, I bought 3B units of trit at 3.3 isk a piece months ago and just sold them at 5.6 isk a piece.
But I guess all the smart people are buying it now at 5.8 and waiting for it to go even higher. I always learned buy low, sell high. Not buy high, sell higher.

My bad. I'll just sit here on the nearly 7 billion I made off that one of the many trades I made and feel sorry for myself.

Meta 0 loot will be replaced with metal junk. Value of tritanium will sink to 1 isk 53 mini-isks.

47B worth of zyd, nocx and morphite, bought in month+ ago when zyd was 750, nocx 570 and morphite 4k a unit. Do the math ;)

Epeen waving with 7b....
lol

Having said that, I can't see buying now being a good time. Minerals shouldn't go to much higher. Stocks are building,
Prices are up and people are mining. Remember were better at mining now then pre drone regions.

Yeh i invested 5bisk into Nocxium @ 530isk a piece, i could sell now as its like at what 990isk or something? Ill wait until it hits around 1500 during the spike, and if i miss that ill sell when it stabalises around 1100 or so.

Either way this is a no brainer, there is no way in hell Nocxium will go back down to or below 530, so doesnt matter if i wait an hour, a day, a week a month or a year ill make a sweet profit. I just want to make the 5bisk profit thats why im holding out.

You really should fly out there at some stage... there is literally no one left in drone region space. everyone moved out long ago.

Made the mistake of spending several hours looking to pew out there last 3 weeks, every local was pretty much empty, i think at one stage i saw 6 people in one system thats about it. And we checked dozens of systems.
Well if nobody is there, what supply is getting cut? Lol

there was about 8000 people 1 month ago in Droneland......
And most of them was producing alloys....

Enjoy your stocks when the panic selling starts.

For the next x days/weeks prices have nothing to do with reality of supply/demand but market sentiment.

Yes. I tried sarcasm, but once I put it into a sentence does it disappear and I can not find it again.
