Grand Exchange Investing Pros August 2012

WELCOME TO GE INVESTING PROS!!! AUGUST 2012 EDITION

We have been away for the summer- but have returned to provide some investing advice.

First off, let's take a look at fish prices:

Raw Swordfish are at an all-time low for 6 months. The price has steadied out, and will likely rise through the Fall/Winter and hit a good price of 300-400 by next year.

Verdict: Good investment!

Raw lobsters are in the same boat as raw swordfish. Steadied out at a low of 140. It hit this price in about January 2012, then skyrocketed through the spring. It will likely see another rise through the Fall, and is currently a great investment!
Verdict: INVEST!!!

Raw Sharks are a tricky investment. Expensive, but potentially majorly rewarding (double / triple return !) Ive never seen sharks dip below 900 so this is a shocker. Very risky investment

Verdict: Watch, the price may start to rise over the next few months.

Mithril Ores - they are in an in-between for prices right now and can go either way. Either way they go, it is probably not the best time to invest as they will unlikely see any major rise.

Verdict: Stay away!

Addy Ores - An expensive investment, but this looks promising. Addy ores are currently on the fall, but considering their worth, they shouldn't drop much further. They will likely see  a jump back to 1500 or more per ore by October.
Verdict: Wait a week, then Invest!!!

Rune Ores - tired of playing small with cheap investments? Rune ores are not the expensive item to go into. The price has seen barely any fluctuation since February. The prices will likely fall under 10,000 gp / per ore over the year.
Verdict: Do not invest.

 Iron ores - Small time player on the GE? No biggie. Iron ores look like a promising investment right now. The price has seen a noticeable drop since Springtime. Since iron ores are so easy to come by, it is difficult to predict how high it will go, but the price has the potential to rise 50 - 100 within the next few months. 

Verdict: Keep an eye on iron ores. With 100m to spend, you could very likely push the market to raise the price on iron ores, then dump your supply after the price has gone up >25 gp/ore.

That's it for the August 2012 investing advice. Enjoy, and post your results! Happy GE'ing! A friendly reminder from Runescape Collections: Don't let "merch clans" take advantage of you!
