Given all of this, as the poster above spoils, I'm investing in other things that I predict will rocket in price during the first 3 months of Wrath
Care to give some examples? =D
Thorium Ore. Adamantite Ore. The ones that require a TON to hit the next mat level of crafted items.

BS/JC/Eng take so many mats to level, and it's not like LW, Tail, or Ench (through DE of tailor items) where there's an unlimited number of mobs to farm to get the mats. Alch is easy since it's usually just 1-3 mats needed, instead of 12-20 like so many BS skillups. If inscription does indeed use herbs, you'll see a bump in nearly all prices of herbs. However, due to the time it takes to farm a massive amount of ore for bars or prospecting, mining (or trading ores) will always be a huge moneymaker. I've watched thorium ore/bars go from 10-12g a stack a few months after the expansion to only starting to become available at 35-40g a stack. If Bliz actually gives a decent amount of trainable smithing items in WotLK, expect the price to further increase on all ores/bars - bronze, iron, mithril, thorium, fel iron, adamantite..
