Well, if that's not a clear sign that the bubble's about to burst, I don't know what is.



It will burst ... and then it will bubble again ... and burst again. But unlike stock market it will be much faster ...

There two good news for me - I was able to buy bioshock infinite and tomb raider for 20 euro both from people that bought miners 7970, and I am looking for a quad crossfire when they decide to unload the cards and cut losses.


About to? It's down over $150 in two days...


Well, these things only can be seen post factum. Right now it could go back to $300 (though I personally have hard time believing that) or to $30.


I'm only casually watching the Mt Gox ticker, but there is an awful lot of buying whenever it gets to ~$70-$75.


Yeah, but yesterday the same was true when it got to $100 or so. After a crash, there are always enough hopeful people to support a price for a little while, before it starts sliding down slowly again, until it reaches its next plateau.

I would expect this to get back down under $50 again (and I think even down to $30-$40) before it makes any kind of real recovery.

But of course, I'm guessing as much as anyone. I just wish I hadn't been busy at a trade show this week, or I would have sold when they were in the $150-$200 range.


Right now there are no trading fees on Mt.Gox until tomorrow. This probably gave (a) the guys with automated trading bots a field day to tweak their algorithms and (b) Mt.Gox a chance to take advantage of this to see if they can handle the increased load in trading.

My guess is that there's going to be a last minute scramble to buy before the trading fees get reintroduced probably pushing the price up a bit. When trading fees go in there might be slightly less liquidity, compared to yesterday and today.

Entirely speculative on my part, but plausible anyway.


Oh, I'm amazed by it. My baseless expectation is that it will certainly go under $50 and stay there for a while.


still has a lot more to go before you get to the price levels people started chanting 'bubble' at.
