Pre-Odyssey Investments

As Odyssey will be coming down the pike rather soon, I should probably have another predictive blog about   how you can make money from speculating in the eve markets.  After all, we all know everyone in EVE loves to be able to make it rain.

For starters, we have to look at what's getting love in Odyssey.  Faction frigs, faction cruisers, as well as the first appearance of faction bcs.  In addition to this, most battleships are getting changes- some are getting buffed, some are getting nerfed, and some are changing to completely different ships.

There will be a big argument over who are winners, and who will be losers, but here are some of my ideas.  Please note, you need to Sell on patch day, lest the market normalize before you have sold.

Winners: Brutix Navy Issue
Ways to invest: (my expected ROI if invested this way and sold on patch day)
Buy up Brutixes (8-10%)
Buy up Gallente Beta Nexus Chips (50-100%)
Store up Gallente LP (N/A)

Winners: Republic Fleet Firetail
Ways to Invest:
Buy up firetails now (10-15%)
Buy up Mimatar UUA Nexus Chips (25-50%)
With the Matari at tier 4, I doubt storing up their LP would do much good, as people could quickly plex or mission to get a few copies for themselves.

Winners: Scythe Fleet Issue (This one is probably the most debated ship, but I think it will Rock)
Ways to Invest
Buy up Scythes (10-15%)
Buy up ScyFIs now (10-20%)
Buy Minmatar UUB Nexus Chips (25-50%)

With the Matari at tier 4, I doubt storing up their LP would do much good, as people could quickly plex or mission to get a few copies for themselves.

Cruise Missile Launcher 2s as well as 'Arbalest' Cruise Missile Launchers

Ways to invest

You gotta invest directly in the modules (10-15%), especially the arbalests (20-30%), as CMs are getting a couple buffs.  An unrigged raven will spew missiles that travel at 10K M/S post patch.  

Winners: Armageddon

While I do really like the new geddon, I'm sad, as I liked the old geddon too.

Ways to Invest: 

Buy Researched Geddon BPCs- Try to find a few off contracts that are normally priced before people realize what an awesome ship this will be in smaller engagements. (10-50%)

Buy Geddons Themselves: (5-15%)

Buy Large Faction Neuts (10-25%)- This one isn't as obvious, but with each geddon, a pilot will want to buy multiple faction neuts for extra range.  Careful not to follow this market too high, as there are other alternatives (DB, Imp Navy, Ammattar Navy, Khanid Navy, etc.)

Buy Tags (Fleet High Captain I, Fleet Commander I, Fleet commander II) that LP Stores Require for Heavy Faction Neuts: (10-30%) These might have a bit of a delay in price appreciation as they will appreciate only after the heavy neuts themselves have appreciated most likely.

While it's still pretty early, these are my early picks for making ISK.  Stay Tuned.
