Hello once again everyone!

I'll start with a brief announcement that this will be the last publicly posted accounts for a while. I'm still working overseas (the Irish Sea counts, right?) and will be for the foreseeable future. This means that while I will still be on EVE a reasonable amount, I cannot guarantee any sort of participation level. I will keep the account subbed, and will continue my operations, I just won't report them....

Back to the account, a fairly slow month due to the above mentioned issue.

So, not a terrible month I guess. Part of the reason I didn't hit my target of 1.5B profit is I invested heavily in a new venture that is gearing up; Tech 2 Invention. I currently have a 50% stake in a T1 BPO that we are producing copies from on a weekly cycle. While I have invention jobs running there is a sunk cost in terms of datacores and decryptors that can't really be included in any reporting (job may fail). This equates to approximately 250m ISK. I also plugged in a few "expensive" skillbooks that will allow me to move in other directions in the near future.

Performance? Well, for the 3rd month in a row, the top 4 items in terms of profit haven't changed. The top 3 in terms of volume have also remained relatively unchanged. I am still planning on setting up a PI chain, but the profit/time balance of setting up one in highsec doesn't warrant significant effort at this stage. So far the invention slots have churned out two T2 BPC's which have a % markup of about 20% at last check. At least one of these BPC's will be going into manufacturing as soon as the components come out of the oven, with the second set of components going in to the oven on a 10-day build.

I might post the odd update here over the next few months, and will be available in-game from time to time, but mostly i'll just be manning the industry lines and market orders.

Any questions, fire away!
