Not too sure what to think of the sharp increase in price for some of the moon go.

Any comments?

Care to be a bit more specific ? Which materials ? HOW MUCH of a sharp increase ? WHEN was that sharp increase supposed to have happened ?
Because if you mean stuff like Atmospheric Gases jumping from 150 to 450 in the past couple of weeks... all I can say is "meh".

I personally think that this is just part of a regular cycle, and prices are about to crash.

Take a look at the market history. Prices did this exact same thing about 6 months ago. Only difference now is that I made a pretty penny off of it. I look forward to when this happens again in 6 months.

Someone is currently manipulating Thulium again. Lowest Sell is 3800.

Honestly, I think it is the same individual(s) as before. If my math is right, they made a decen penny off it.I know I managed a nice chunk of change after a two week wait off their month of effort.

It is really annoying that people can mess the market up so easily.

all part of the game yes but nothing in place to prevent [in my opinion] this type of exploit.

Where is market manipulation an exploit?

Stuff like this happens in Real Life as well. Look at the oil price spike a few years ago, that caused purely by speculations and market manipulations.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

Do you mean the case where the guys manipulating the market got charged with manipulating crude?

I think the ability to buy up the entire market and then sell it for much higher prices is an exploit....

I mean seriously, you come to MD forums and make a comment like that.
Its trading, if you dont like it /ragequit.

Explain to all of us, how purchasing large volumes of item x at a low price and selling at a higher one is an exploit. Its exactly the same as station trading, you just skip out the buy order step.

Look at the year long graphs. Looks like normal behavior to me, that's why I bought into it months ago. Thank you for the ISK.
