Sad news... FOO/WOWMIDAS... hedging the markets

Sad new, fan sites come and go, and some replace other and grow... like Google... does anyone use any other search engine regularly?  I don't... anyway... AHspy, just started using it and prefering it over UMJ for markets and now its shut down... at least we still have UMJ... :-)

Lots of perspectives and idea on how to hedge the markets in preparation for 5.0/5.1...

FOO and WOWMIDADS have a couple posts going back and forth... I kind of had a good sense of the value of wrath mats being a better hedge for 5.0/5.1... I can reinforce and add to that value having recently leveled a toon through the post 4.3 xp nerf to NR...  The time players spend there is nerfed, that means leveling through will be faster and few mats gathered... Like you will have to slow or stop your leveling and go grind out some points in your gathering professions almost certainly... less time, is less raw mats, less quest greens getting DE'd etc... I will definately be lookin at this as a more valuable market for 5.0/5.1.  Much like I guess, LW will be popular w/ the new pandas and more specifically the monks...

Though that could be a very wrong guess about the monks... to me it seem natural that many players will choose Skinning/LW for a monk... first element that could make that a bad guess.. we are getting an 11th spot for a toon on each server, a lot of players will be leveling an alt and pick a more convenient or profitable profession. On the other hand, players will do what they do... that is become unsettled and look for the next best thing... what better time to switch servers... so fresh re-rolls on new servers may be more prevalent... on the down side, if they go skinning/LW there will be a surpluss of skins... possibly... my experience is that it takes time and effort going out of your way to cut hide/pick flowers/chip rock to gather enough mats to actually level you profession... On the positive side, many player that I would be focussin on for markets in LW would be those that are speed leveling 1-90 as fast as they can... this means a few dungeons and a lot of quests... for get professions, level them when you are 90...

Anyway, many of my last recomendations still stand for stocking, however some more valuations will come into play... part on inflation numbers from WOWMIDAS and my guesswork/hedging bets, and finally value per slot of storage space...

I will be consulting my magic 8-ball as well as other sources and let you know...
