What an amazing post! Most people come in only when the prices are high, but they don't realise that they will also have competition. Your best best to grow and build your rep is when the prices are low because most people have gone inactive and now's your time to broadcast your work.

Your account value sure will drop as the prices drop, but that's temporary. Like you said, you collect more SP when the prices are down. And when they go up again, you'll see how your account value booms!

Great article man! Really liked it :D
