Daily Prices: 02/04/2015 Market Index: $9,929 (-440) --- (95.8%) 1) Uranium: $2,056 (52) --- (102.6%) 2) Steel: $1,347 (-34) --- (97.5%) 3) Aluminum: $1,079 (-197) --- (84.6%) 4) Gasoline: $1,057 (-238) --- (81.6%) 5) Bauxite: $933 (-4) --- (99.6%) 6) Coal: $842 (0) --- (100.%) 7) Iron: $653 (13) --- (102.%) 8) Oil: $643 (69) --- (112.%) 9) Lead: $635 (1) --- (100.2%) 10) Munitions: $569 (-104) --- (84.5%) 11) Food: $115 (2) --- (101.8%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index had a net total loss of $-440 today. Oil had the highest total increase today ($69) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (112.%). Gasoline had the lowest drop in value today ($-238) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (81.6%). Coal neither gained nor lost value today, a somewhat infrequent occurrence. Aluminum lost more in value today than in any other day in 2015 so far. Oil had it's highest single day gain in price today, despite the overall lost in market value. Aluminum hits it's lowest price of 2015 today, and Bauxite once again reaches it's lowest value in 2015 as well. Oil hit's it's highest price of 2015 today. Manufactured resources took a massive hit today, losing over $500 collectively in a single day. Adjusted Resource Profit: 02/04/2015 (0) - 1) Coal: $775 (1) - 2) Bauxite: $666 (-1) - 3) Aluminum: $579 (1) - 4) Oil: $576 (-1) - 5) Steel: $515 (0) - 6) Lead: $468 (2) - 7) Uranium: $389 (0) - 8) Iron: $386 (-2) - 9) Gasoline: $198 (0) - 10) Munitions: $24 Profit Notes Aluminum loses it's #2 spot to it's raw resource Bauxite. Oil takes the #4 spot from Steel. Uranium and Gasoline swap spots at #7 and #9, meanwhile Iron remains at #8. All manufactured resources lost spots today except for munitions, which was already in dead last but is now struggling to remain in the positive numbers. G.M's Notes: I felt I should write a little note here due to how wacky of a day on the market today ended up being. At the time of this posting prices seem to have returned to a near 2/3/15 level (aka the day before). This market hiccup could have occurred due to a number of factors I and I won't lie and say I was online all day to be able to pinpoint the cause. We'll see tomorrow how much the prices have continued to change if this was a single day occurrence or more than that. Feel free to put down any ideas in the comments if you feel like it, I'm kinda curious what people think. It's possible this was just a fluke or that a few suppliers got into an undercutting war, then again this may be symptoms of a flooded manufacturing market, or perhaps even a purposeful market (and in particular war goods) destabilization attempt by one or more players (albeit that might be a little far-fetched). Either way I'm interested to see what happens next. (That was the part where I get yall hooked to see the next installment ).

Daily Prices: 02/03/2015 Market Index: $10,369 (-46) --- (99.6%) 1) Uranium: $2,004 (42) --- (102.1%) 2) Steel: $1,381 (-18) --- (98.7%) 3) Gasoline: $1,295 (16) --- (101.3%) 4) Aluminum: $1,276 (-56) --- (95.8%) 5) Bauxite: $937 (-2) --- (99.8%) 6) Coal: $842 (2) --- (100.2%) 7) Munitions: $673 (-17) --- (97.5%) 8) Iron: $640 (10) --- (101.6%) 9) Lead: $634 (-22) --- (96.6%) 10) Oil: $574 (5) --- (100.9%) 11) Food: $113 (-6) --- (95.%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index had a net total loss of $-46 today. Uranium had the highest total increase today ($42) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (102.1%). Aluminum had the lowest drop in value today ($-56). Food had the lowest drop in percentage (95.%). Oil reaches a 5 day increase streak. Lead has it's biggest single day drop in value of 2015 today, posting a -22 (which tells you something about how stable it has been). Bauxite remains at it's lowest point in 2015 while Oil reaches it's most expensive price in 2015. Adjusted Resource Profit: 02/03/2015 (1) - 1) Coal: $775 (-1) - 2) Aluminum: $775 (0) - 3) Bauxite: $670 (0) - 4) Steel: $554 (0) - 5) Oil: $507 (0) - 6) Lead: $467 (0) - 7) Gasoline: $459 (0) - 8) Iron: $373 (0) - 9) Uranium: $337 (0) - 10) Munitions: $128 Profit Notes Coal barely edges out Aluminum for the top spot (In this stat I round to the nearest whole number, the actual difference was roughly $0.55).

I'm going to do a bit of self-promoting here the first question

Daily Prices: 02/02/2015 Market Index: $10,415 (133) --- (101.3%) 1) Uranium: $1,962 (-1) --- (99.9%) 2) Steel: $1,399 (-22) --- (98.5%) 3) Aluminum: $1,332 (62) --- (104.9%) 4) Gasoline: $1,279 (13) --- (101.%) 5) Bauxite: $939 (-4) --- (99.6%) 6) Coal: $840 (3) --- (100.4%) 7) Munitions: $690 (53) --- (108.3%) 8) Lead: $656 (-9) --- (98.6%) 9) Iron: $630 (3) --- (100.5%) 10) Oil: $569 (34) --- (106.4%) 11) Food: $119 (1) --- (100.8%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index gained a net total of $133 today. Aluminum had the highest total increase today ($62). Munitions had the highest percentage increase (108.3%). Steel had the lowest drop in value today ($-22) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (98.5%). Bauxite reaches a 5 day price loss streak. Bauxite once again remains at it's lowest price of 2015 with more loss in price today. Oil reaches it's highest price of 2015! Adjusted Resource Profit: 02/02/2015 (1) - 1) Aluminum: $830 (-1) - 2) Coal: $773 (0) - 3) Bauxite: $672 (0) - 4) Steel: $576 (1) - 5) Oil: $502 (-1) - 6) Lead: $489 (0) - 7) Gasoline: $445 (0) - 8) Iron: $363 (0) - 9) Uranium: $295 (0) - 10) Munitions: $138 Profit Notes Aluminum regains the top spot from Coal after a single day. Oil overtakes Lead for the #5 spot.

Based on current prices you'll likely make the most money off of Oil, though that of course can and probably will change.

Daily Prices: 02/01/2015 Market Index: $10,282 (234) --- (102.3%) 1) Uranium: $1,963 (4) --- (100.2%) 2) Steel: $1,421 (91) --- (106.8%) 3) Aluminum: $1,270 (8) --- (100.6%) 4) Gasoline: $1,266 (5) --- (100.4%) 5) Bauxite: $943 (-3) --- (99.7%) 6) Coal: $837 (113) --- (115.6%) 7) Lead: $665 (-4) --- (99.4%) 8) Munitions: $637 (15) --- (102.4%) 9) Iron: $627 (-15) --- (97.7%) 10) Oil: $535 (19) --- (103.7%) 11) Food: $118 (1) --- (100.9%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index gained a net total of $234 today. Coal had the highest total increase today ($113) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (115.6%). Iron had the lowest drop in value today ($-15) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (97.7%). With another (albeit minor) loss in price today, Bauxite remains at it's lowest price in 2015 so far. Coal had it's best single day in 2015 so far! The next closest was on 1/17/15 where it increased by $39. It will likely take a few days to see if this was just a fluke or if this represents an actual increase in coal prices. Adjusted Resource Profit: 02/01/2015 (2) - 1) Coal: $770 (-1) - 2) Aluminum: $767 (-1) - 3) Bauxite: $676 (0) - 4) Steel: $600 (0) - 5) Lead: $498 (0) - 6) Oil: $468 (0) - 7) Gasoline: $443 (0) - 8) Iron: $360 (0) - 9) Uranium: $296 (0) - 10) Munitions: $82 Profit Notes With a massive increase in market price today Coal is able to jump from the 3rd spot to the #1 spot in Adjusted Resource Profits. Coal passed both Bauxite and it's product, Aluminum. Today also marks the first time since I've been recording this stat that Aluminum has fallen from the top spot.

Welcome Rattlehead!

Uranium has generally been pretty stable in price over the last month or so and I think eventually the demand for it will increase but for now both production and consumption seem to be limited. Although Uranium is a relatively high priced resource it's actually pretty expensive to produce. If you want produce something to earn money I might suggest Bauxite or if you can't produce that, Coal.

Weekly Average: 01/25/2015 - 01/31/2015 Market Index: $10,264 (-177) --- (98.3%) 1) Uranium: $1,982 (-198) --- (90.9%) 2) Steel: $1,363 (25) --- (101.8%) 3) Aluminum: $1,309 (-27) --- (98.%) 4) Gasoline: $1,308 (61) --- (104.9%) 5) Bauxite: $970 (-81) --- (92.3%) 6) Coal: $710 (-53) --- (93.1%) 7) Lead: $684 (94) --- (116.%) 8) Iron: $674 (-5) --- (99.3%) 9) Munitions: $651 (11) --- (101.7%) 10) Oil: $498 (-3) --- (99.5%) 11) Food: $113 (-3) --- (97.7%) Weekly Average Notes: REMINDER: Numbers and percentages in parenthesis represent the this week's average price compared to the total average price for 2015. For instance this week's average price for food was $113 but the total average price for 2015 of Food is actually $116. So -3 means Food is currently $3 below the 2015 average price which is approximately 97.7% of that value. Steel took the #2 spot from Aluminum this week. Lead and Iron each gained a spot while Munitions lost two. Lead's average price this week was considerably higher than it's average in 2015 while Uranium's was significantly lower. Average Prices in 2015 as of 1/31/15 Market Index: $10,441 (-51) --- (99.5%) 1) Uranium: $2,180 (-58) --- (97.4%) 2) Steel: $1,339 (8) --- (100.6%) 3) Aluminum: $1,337 (-7) --- (99.5%) 4) Gasoline: $1,247 (18) --- (101.5%) 5) Bauxite: $1,051 (-24) --- (97.8%) 6) Coal: $763 (-15) --- (98.1%) 7) Iron: $679 (-1) --- (99.9%) 8) Munitions: $639 (3) --- (100.5%) 9) Lead: $589 (27) --- (104.8%) 10) Oil: $501 (-1) --- (99.8%) 11) Food: $116 (-1) --- (99.1%) Average Price Notes: REMINDER: For this stat the numbers and percentages in parenthesis are total average prices as of today compared to the total average prices the last time they were recorded (so for today they are compared to last week's weekly sum up thread, recorded on the 24th of January. Uranium and Bauxite were both lower than the total average this week and have thus brought their averages down. Lead and Gasoline have both had average price increases as a result of a decent week's worth of prices. Steel has overtaken Aluminum for 2nd place in total average price. G.M.'s Notes: No changes this week, although I still do intend to make some, I just ran out of time today. Hope yall are having a nice weekend and enjoy the Superbowl if you are choosing to watch it. Also, Go Pats.

Aluminum had the highest total increase today ($43). Munitions had the highest percentage increase (105.8%). Iron had the lowest drop in value today ($-19) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (97.1%). With strong gains in manufactured goods the Market Index's loss streak comes to an end at 6 days. Uranium's loss streak comes to an end at 17 days. Bauxite reaches it's lowest price of 2015 at $946. Adjusted Resource Profit: 01/31/2015 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $758 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $679 (0) - 3) Coal: $657 (1) - 4) Steel: $541 (-1) - 5) Lead: $502 (0) - 6) Oil: $449 (0) - 7) Gasoline: $445 (0) - 8) Iron: $375 (0) - 9) Uranium: $292 (0) - 10) Munitions: $66 Profit Notes Steel overtakes Lead for the #4 spot. Profit in general have been falling the past few days for most resources.

Daily Prices: 01/30/2015 Market Index: $9,920 (-116) --- (98.8%) 1) Uranium: $1,927 (-16) --- (99.2%) 2) Steel: $1,306 (-3) --- (99.8%) 3) Gasoline: $1,231 (-48) --- (96.2%) 4) Aluminum: $1,219 (-61) --- (95.2%) 5) Bauxite: $957 (-12) --- (98.8%) 6) Coal: $732 (17) --- (102.4%) 7) Lead: $680 (0) --- (100.%) 8) Iron: $661 (-9) --- (98.7%) 9) Munitions: $588 (-12) --- (98.%) 10) Oil: $507 (25) --- (105.2%) 11) Food: $112 (3) --- (102.8%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index had a net total loss of $-116 today. Oil had the highest total increase today ($25) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (105.2%). Aluminum had the lowest drop in value today ($-61) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (95.2%). Market Index has lost over $850 during the last 6 days. Bauxite is currently at the lowest price we have seen in 2015. Adjusted Resource Profit: 01/30/2015 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $711 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $690 (0) - 3) Coal: $665 (1) - 4) Lead: $513 (-1) - 5) Steel: $508 (1) - 6) Oil: $440 (-1) - 7) Gasoline: $418 (0) - 8) Iron: $394 (0) - 9) Uranium: $260 (0) - 10) Munitions: $28 Profit Notes Lead overtakes Steel for the #4 spot. Oil takes the #6 spot away from it's product, Gasoline. GM's Remarks: As of today, manufactured resources are ranked #1, #5, #7 and #10. This may be an indication that a large portion of nations are making manufactured resources domestically while possibly importing the necessary raw materials. Although P&W's player base is growing each day, there is a significant number of people who all started within the first few days/weeks of this round and what we may be seeing is this 'generation' moving towards manufacturing and tax income based economies and away from raw resource production. Perhaps. Either way it will be interesting to see, now that most nations are at peace what kind of base-line prices are established and how that changes based on the demographics of the game. I look forward to finding out. .

Coal had the highest total increase today ($33) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (104.8%). Aluminum had the lowest drop in value today ($-65) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (95.2%). Market Index reaches a 5 day price loss streak. Manufactured resource prices continued to fall today. Adjusted Resource Profit: 01/29/2015 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $768 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $702 (0) - 3) Coal: $648 (0) - 4) Steel: $514 (0) - 5) Lead: $513 (0) - 6) Gasoline: $474 (0) - 7) Oil: $415 (0) - 8) Iron: $403 (0) - 9) Uranium: $276 (0) - 10) Munitions: $40 Profit Notes Surprisingly no change in positions today! Munitions have plummeted to making a profit of only $40 per unit, yikes! Aluminum and Bauxite continue to dominate the top two spots. Despite a relatively high coal price on the market I predict the top two will remain unchanged for the near future.

Daily Prices: 01/28/2015 Market Index: $10,139 (-340) --- (96.8%) 1) Uranium: $1,949 (-63) --- (96.9%) 2) Steel: $1,345 (-55) --- (96.1%) 3) Aluminum: $1,345 (-34) --- (97.5%) 4) Gasoline: $1,270 (-63) --- (95.3%) 5) Bauxite: $979 (1) --- (100.1%) 6) Lead: $686 (-3) --- (99.6%) 7) Coal: $682 (-27) --- (96.2%) 8) Iron: $667 (-29) --- (95.8%) 9) Munitions: $616 (-54) --- (91.9%) 10) Oil: $489 (-6) --- (98.8%) 11) Food: $111 (-7) --- (94.1%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index had a net total loss of $-340 today. Bauxite had the highest total increase today ($1) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (100.1%). Uranium had the lowest drop in value today ($-63). Munitions had the lowest drop in percentage (91.9%). Iron's increase streak comes to an end at 5 days. Uranium reaches a 15 day price loss streak. Iron dropped $29 today which tied for biggest daily loss in price (the other $29 drop was between the 14th and 15th). All in all a pretty rough day for the market, with only Bauxite in the positive and only by a measly $1. Manufactured goods all took a hit of $50 or more today. Adjusted Resource Profit: 01/28/2015 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $830 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $712 (0) - 3) Coal: $615 (0) - 4) Steel: $562 (1) - 5) Lead: $519 (-1) - 6) Gasoline: $463 (1) - 7) Oil: $422 (-1) - 8) Iron: $400 (0) - 9) Uranium: $282 (0) - 10) Munitions: $54 Profit Notes Lead overtook Gasoline for the #5 spot and Oil overtook Iron for the #7 spot. Due to the continued fall in munitions prices, profits for Munitions have fallen well under $100 per Unit.

Coal and Gasoline each lost a spot while Lead plummeted from 6th to 9th. Steel moved from 5th into the 3rd spot and Oil, Iron and Uranium each moved up a spot. To sum up the data as a whole it really sucks to be a lead/munitions producer . Edited error in Lead prices, my bad XD

Daily Prices: 01/25/2015 Market Index: $10,730 (-62) --- (99.4%) 1) Uranium: $2,063 (-32) --- (98.5%) 2) Gasoline: $1,439 (41) --- (102.9%) 3) Steel: $1,406 (-72) --- (95.1%) 4) Aluminum: $1,336 (-46) --- (96.7%) 5) Bauxite: $986 (-9) --- (99.1%) 6) Munitions: $792 (11) --- (101.4%) 7) Lead: $700 (14) --- (102.%) 8) Coal: $699 (16) --- (102.3%) 9) Iron: $691 (25) --- (103.8%) 10) Oil: $504 (-10) --- (98.1%) 11) Food: $114 (0) --- (100.%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index had a net total loss of $-62 today. Gasoline had the highest total increase today ($41). Iron had the highest percentage increase (103.8%). Steel had the lowest drop in value today ($-72) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (95.1%). Coal's loss streak comes to an end at 6 days. Bauxite reaches a 10 day price loss streak. Adjusted Resource Profit: 01/25/2015 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $818 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $719 (1) - 3) Coal: $632 (1) - 4) Gasoline: $627 (-2) - 5) Steel: $609 (0) - 6) Lead: $533 (0) - 7) Oil: $437 (1) - 8) Iron: $424 (-1) - 9) Uranium: $396 (0) - 10) Munitions: $225 Profit Notes Coal and Gasoline each moved up a spot into 3rd and 4th while Steel moved down two spots to #5. Uranium and Iron also swapped positions. Oddly, although Uranium has sat firmly at the top spot for resource price it has now reached the 9th spot for profitability. It's an expensive resource to mine. Guild Master's Notes: As you can see the "Adjusted Resource Profit" did in fact make it into this daily prices report. I changed my mind partly because I found this to be one of the more useful statistics and partly because what I had planned on replacing it with I found to be fairly unhelpful. So I will continue this in the daily reports. As always suggestions/improvements/comments are always welcome. In particular I'd like to improve the "Adjusted Resource Profit" stat, but I am unsure how at the current point. I shall keep yall updated.

Average Prices in 2015 as of 1/24/15 Market Index: $10,493 (119) --- (101.1%) 1) Uranium: $2,238 (-1) --- (100.%) 2) Aluminum: $1,344 (24) --- (101.8%) 3) Steel: $1,331 (25) --- (101.9%) 4) Gasoline: $1,229 (12) --- (101.%) 5) Bauxite: $1,075 (-13) --- (98.8%) 6) Coal: $778 (-11) --- (98.6%) 7) Iron: $680 (-9) --- (98.7%) 8) Munitions: $636 (39) --- (106.5%) 9) Lead: $562 (45) --- (108.7%) 10) Oil: $502 (10) --- (102.%) 11) Food: $117 (-2) --- (98.3%) Average Price Notes: Reminder: The numbers and percentages in parenthesis are the average 2015 prices as of 1/24/15 compared to the last time the average prices were recorded, which in this case was last week on 1/17/15. So this tells you how much the past week has affected the yearly average prices so far. Gasoline and Bauxite have switched spots (4th and 5th), and Lead and Oil have switched spots (9th and 10th). Weekly Average: 01/18/2015 - 01/24/2015 Market Index: $10,781 (289) --- (102.8%) 1) Uranium: $2,235 (-3) --- (99.9%) 2) Aluminum: $1,403 (59) --- (104.4%) 3) Steel: $1,393 (61) --- (104.6%) 4) Gasoline: $1,258 (29) --- (102.4%) 5) Bauxite: $1,042 (-33) --- (96.9%) 6) Coal: $751 (-27) --- (96.5%) 7) Munitions: $732 (96) --- (115.1%) 8) Lead: $671 (109) --- (119.4%) 9) Iron: $660 (-20) --- (97.%) 10) Oil: $526 (24) --- (104.8%) 11) Food: $110 (-6) --- (94.8%) Weekly Average Notes: This is a new statistic which takes the average prices for just the past week, in this case between 1/18/15 and 1/24/15 (and including both dates). The numbers and percentages in parenthesis are the weekly average compared to the 2015 average as of 1/24/15 and can be used to tell you how far off the total average the weekly prices were. As always feel free to chime in on the usefulness/uselessness of this stat, I haven't quite decided if I like it or not. Also any tweaks or other ideas are always welcome.

Daily Prices: 01/24/2015 Market Index: $10,792 (352) --- (103.4%) 1) Uranium: $2,095 (-40) --- (98.1%) 2) Steel: $1,478 (127) --- (109.4%) 3) Gasoline: $1,398 (140) --- (111.1%) 4) Aluminum: $1,382 (-8) --- (99.4%) 5) Bauxite: $995 (-8) --- (99.2%) 6) Munitions: $781 (68) --- (109.5%) 7) Lead: $686 (13) --- (101.9%) 8) Coal: $683 (-7) --- (99.%) 9) Iron: $666 (31) --- (104.9%) 10) Oil: $514 (34) --- (107.1%) 11) Food: $114 (2) --- (101.8%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index gained a net total of $352 today. Gasoline had the highest total increase today ($140) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (111.1%). Uranium had the lowest drop in value today ($-40) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (98.1%). Steel and Gasoline each move up a spot while aluminum fell two spots. Lead and coal also switched places. Adjusted Resource Profit: 01/24/2015 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $861 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $728 (1) - 3) Steel: $695 (-1) - 4) Coal: $616 (2) - 5) Gasoline: $582 (-1) - 6) Lead: $519 (1) - 7) Oil: $447 (-2) - 8) Uranium: $428 (0) - 9) Iron: $399 (0) - 10) Munitions: $219 Profit Notes Fairly big shake-up today with 6 resources changing positions. With and increase in Steel and Gasoline prices, both of these goods move up in the rankings. Munitions continue to be more profitable to produce with increases in market value, however it is still dead last. After today this will become a statistic for my weekly reports as opposed to being reported daily.

Daily Prices: 01/23/2015 Market Index: $10,440 (102) --- (101.%) 1) Uranium: $2,135 (-56) --- (97.4%) 2) Aluminum: $1,390 (55) --- (104.1%) 3) Steel: $1,351 (41) --- (103.1%) 4) Gasoline: $1,258 (137) --- (112.2%) 5) Bauxite: $1,003 (-21) --- (97.9%) 6) Munitions: $713 (28) --- (104.1%) 7) Coal: $690 (-18) --- (97.5%) 8) Lead: $673 (-4) --- (99.4%) 9) Iron: $635 (4) --- (100.6%) 10) Oil: $480 (-66) --- (87.9%) 11) Food: $112 (2) --- (101.8%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index gained a net total of $102 today. Gasoline had the highest total increase today ($137) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (112.2%). Oil had the lowest drop in value today ($-66) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (87.9%). Uranium reaches a 10 day price loss streak. Coal reaches a 5 day price loss streak. Munitions overtakes Coal for the #6 spot, and while still the cheapest manufactured resource on the market it is slowly climbing above some of the raw resources. Despite losses in every raw resource value (except for food) the market index was able to climb thanks to strong postings from manufactured goods. Adjusted Resource Profit: 01/23/2015 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $867 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $736 (0) - 3) Coal: $623 (0) - 4) Steel: $576 (1) - 5) Lead: $506 (-1) - 6) Uranium: $468 (2) - 7) Gasoline: $454 (-1) - 8) Oil: $413 (-1) - 9) Iron: $368 (0) - 10) Munitions: $155 Profit Notes Gasoline recovers two of the spots it lost in the last few days and moves to the #7 spot (making gasoline more profitable than oil once again). Uranium, oil and iron all lose one spot each. Lead moves into the #5 spot, overtaking uranium.

Daily Prices: 01/22/2015 Market Index: $10,338 (-130) --- (98.8%) 1) Uranium: $2,191 (-41) --- (98.2%) 2) Aluminum: $1,335 (-29) --- (97.9%) 3) Steel: $1,310 (-27) --- (98.%) 4) Gasoline: $1,121 (94) --- (109.2%) 5) Bauxite: $1,024 (-37) --- (96.5%) 6) Coal: $708 (-52) --- (93.2%) 7) Munitions: $685 (-38) --- (94.7%) 8) Lead: $677 (-1) --- (99.9%) 9) Iron: $631 (-8) --- (98.7%) 10) Oil: $546 (-4) --- (99.3%) 11) Food: $110 (13) --- (113.4%) Daily Price Notes The Market Index had a net total loss of $-130 today. Gasoline had the highest total increase today ($94). Food had the highest percentage increase (113.4%). Coal had the lowest drop in value today ($-52) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (93.2%). Oil value increase streak ends at 5 days. Gasoline recovered slightly from yesterday's dramatic drop however every other resource dropped in value (save food). Uranium's price has continued it's slow but steady fall in value and is now at the lowest price since 1/6/15, over two weeks ago. Adjusted Resource Profit: 01/22/2015 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $805 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $757 (0) - 3) Coal: $641 (1) - 4) Steel: $530 (-1) - 5) Uranium: $524 (0) - 6) Lead: $510 (0) - 7) Oil: $479 (0) - 8) Iron: $364 (0) - 9) Gasoline: $295 (0) - 10) Munitions: $126

Daily Prices: 1/21/15 Market Index: $10,468 (-775) --- (93.1%) 1) Uranium: $2,232 (-70) --- (97.%) 2) Aluminum: $1,364 (-103) --- (93.%) 3) Steel: $1,337 (-114) --- (92.1%) 4) Bauxite: $1,061 (-5) --- (99.5%) 5) Gasoline: $1,027 (-398) --- (72.1%) 6) Coal: $760 (-26) --- (96.7%) 7) Munitions: $723 (-29) --- (96.1%) 8) Lead: $678 (13) --- (102.%) 9) Iron: $639 (-23) --- (96.5%) 10) Oil: $550 (1) --- (100.2%) 11) Food: $97 (-21) --- (82.2%) Notes The Market Index had a net total loss of $-775 today. Lead had the highest total increase today ($13) as well as garnering the highest percentage increase (102.%). Gasoline had the lowest drop in value today ($-398) as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (72.1%). Oil is on a 5 day price increase streak. Spurred by a sudden and significant drop in gasoline prices the market had a bad day today. Gasoline dropped the most of any resource in one day currently on record in 2015. Adjusted Resource Profit: 1/21/15 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $821 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $794 (0) - 3) Coal: $693 (0) - 4) Uranium: $565 (0) - 5) Steel: $537 (1) - 6) Lead: $511 (1) - 7) Oil: $483 (1) - 8) Iron: $372 (-3) - 9) Gasoline: $199 (0) - 10) Munitions: $164 Profit Notes With the recent drop in gasoline prices Lead, Oil and Iron each take a spot as Gasoline loses three. Because profits for manufactured resources are calculated using the market prices for the raw goods they consume Oil is calculated as being more than double as profitable as it's manufactured product, gasoline. (In large part due to the relative closeness in price of oil and gasoline on the market. I may switch this category to a weekly update using the average weekly prices, as always feel free to chime in on the matter.

Daily Prices: 1/20/15 Market Index: $11,243 (106) --- (101.%) 1) Uranium: $2,302 (-34) --- (98.5%) 2) Aluminum: $1,467 (23) --- (101.6%) 3) Steel: $1,451 (9) --- (100.6%) 4) Gasoline: $1,425 (128) --- (109.9%) 5) Bauxite: $1,066 (-4) --- (99.6%) 6) Coal: $786 (-26) --- (96.8%) 7) Munitions: $752 (7) --- (100.9%) 8) Lead: $665 (-4) --- (99.4%) 9) Iron: $662 (-28) --- (95.9%) 10) Oil: $549 (26) --- (105.%) 11) Food: $118 (9) --- (108.3%) Notes The Market Index gained a net total of $106 today.

Food had the lowest drop in percentage (96.5%). Gasoline breaks it's loss streak today at five consecutive days Market seems to finally be regaining it's steady climb after the shake-up of last week. Adjusted Resource Profit 1/19/15 (0) - 1) Aluminum: $898 (0) - 2) Bauxite: $803 (0) - 3) Coal: $745 (0) - 4) Uranium: $669 (0) - 5) Steel: $608 (0) - 6) Lead: $502 (0) - 7) Gasoline: $478 (0) - 8) Oil: $456 (0) - 9) Iron: $423 (0) - 10) Munitions: $189

Daily Prices 1/18/15 Market Index: $11,051 (-3) --- (100.0%) 1) Uranium: $2,353 (-20) --- (99.2%) 2) Aluminum: $1,440 (55) --- (104.%) 3) Steel: $1,381 (-43) --- (97.0%) 4) Gasoline: $1,281 (-50) --- (96.2%) 5) Bauxite: $1,075 (-21) --- (98.1%) 6) Coal: $817 (20) --- (102.5%) 7) Munitions: $726 (33) --- (104.8%) 8) Iron: $696 (2) --- (100.3%) 9) Lead: $650 (3) --- (100.5%) 10) Oil: $519 (15) --- (103.0%) 11) Food: $113 (3) --- (102.7%) Notes The Market Index had a net total loss of -$3 today, nearly ending the recent downturn. Aluminum had the highest total increase today ($55). Munitions had the highest percentage increase (104.8%). Gasoline had the lowest drop in value today (-$50), as well as garnering the lowest percentage change (96.2%). Food's loss streak ends at 5 days while Uranium and Gasoline both reach 5 consecutive days of loss in value. Manufactured resources seem to still be prone to price changes while raw resources generally were more stable today. Adjusted Resource Profit 1/18/15 1) Aluminum $893 2) Bauxite $808 3) Coal $750 4) Uranium $686 5) Steel $543 6) Lead $483 7) Gasoline $464 8) Oil $452 9) Iron $429 10) Munitions $176 Profit Notes I wanted to demo this stat since a few people were looking for something like this, and as I may include it depending on feedback, so please feel free to comment either by responding in this thread of PM. For raw resources this stat is the average market value (the value from the first table) minus the base production cost (i.e. the improvement upkeep per unit produced). This does not take into account production cost associated with power plants and resources need to power those plants for fairly obvious reasons. For manufactured resources I took the average market value of the resource and subtracted the base production cost just like the raw resources. For the sake of making this usable to as many people as possible I then subtracted the base production cost of the raw resources needed to get the final statistic (basically meaning I took them at market value). So basically if you are producing your own raw resources to manufacture your net profit will be higher. Again feel free to comment if this is useful or not or if you have any suggestions in tweaking this, I'd be happy to hear them.

This is the second thread you've posted that I've had to restrain myself from responding with "the pipes the pipes are calling, from... etc". Welcome to P&W and best of luck!
