Gecko Speculation Results
Posted: 2015-12-15 Filed under: market | Tags: gecko 1 CommentAfter months of waiting and watching, I finally cashed out on the pile of Gecko heavy drones.
I bought 326 at an average price of 50.05 M ISK. I cashed out after 219 days for a net profit of 8.83 B. The reason that I exited the market on this item was because of how the daily profit per days invested chart was trending. I missed the bubble on the market and had to settle for a average of 40.51 M ISK/day invested. The time to sell would have been before Eve Vegas.
Producing capitals still averaged out to more money on average at 50.27 M ISK/day; details on that project can be found here.
Gecko Volatility Post Eve Vegas
Posted: 2015-10-28 Filed under: market | Tags: gecko Leave a commentDuring the Capital Ship session at Eve Vegas we learned that Capital ships will no longer be able to use standard drones. This announcement sent the Gecko market into a period of high volatility given the speculative rarity of the item. Looking at the charts, it seems that the volume and return amounts are trending towards less volatility and a price around 90M.

If you have a stockpile, I would not sell at the moment. Hold on to that investment.
