...And the demand is being pushed along by bloat, hype and ignorance.

There are "investors" and speculators in this market now who look for reduced supplies of any product in order to pump and dump.
It's a technique as old as the hills.

They make fantastic and ridiculous claims in order to buy cheap and make a killing out of their crazy claims.

Some of us know the worst - eg. bangy-bang and much worse.
They are rip-off merchants, who often do their stuff thru E-pray.

It's funny to see people banging out stuff thru that site when if you know the proper merchants out there - you can get better over the counter with a guarantee in a proper shop - usually who has been there since the 60s!
