I keep hearing people say that with Dire Maul, hunters are gonna make so much fucking gold off tribute runs, gold value is gonna go down and it's better to invest in items right now and sit on them. Question is, what is a good thing to invest in that will become valuable post Dire Maul and phase 2? Nobody wants to actually say it, ofcourse. This place is a little more obscure than reddit or the forums, maybe someone here dares to say it? What will be a good money maker in phase 2?

Edited, sorry I'm dumb.
"What is good to invest in right now?"
Physical assets. Get rid of liquid currency. The less gold you have before Dire Maul, the better. Servers are going to see some inflation over the coming weeks and those assets should rise in value.
Avoid assets that will increase in availability due to the Dire Maul farms... Obviously. These will depreciate.

The thing is, I'm scared to dump most of my gold on physical assets. I think I know what to invest in, but I'm not sure. What if I'm wrong? What if there was something more lucrative I didn't know about? What if the mats I'm buying up have already risen in price? How do I know if they're "cheap" and how do I estimate what they will be worth later?
All of it seems pretty risky and dependent on each server population. I just dunno. Is 25g for a PBD cheap, or is it already inflated?

Twink items. Might be a little bit late for it, but check lists and go to AH. The least you can do is have a look!

I thought about that, but I play on a PvE server and I just don't see twink stuff becoming really valuable until battlegrounds are added. Also, I've been keeping tabs on Shadowfang. It's never on for less than 180g, and even that is rare. Usually around 300g. It's not selling, because I keep seeing the same people listing it, but people seem to absolutely refuse to let it go for less.

I think you'll be surprised with how many people have been preparing twinks ahead of time. People want to be fully twinked out ready for when P3 hits (some people I know are aiming to be as ready as possible for P2 for WPvP fun, obvs PvP server only), so now is when they are going to be buying stuff!

I dunno man. Are they? I feel like normies don't think that far ahead

This right here. Get rid of your Thorium and Arcanite now, they're going to depreciate once DMW farm groups are able to go for the guarenteed veins.
How long do you think it'll be before we see inflation on a global scale? Where the price of regular mats (eg Runecloth) goes up? I've been selling Runecloth, but maybe I should stockpile it instead

You should be more scared of losing the value of your current purchasing power. The concept of purchasing power is abstract but has nothing to do with the absolute number of your currency. If the currency supply doubles in a week then roughly speaking your purchasing power is cut in half.
We know inflation is going to skyrocket after DM opens. Use this to your advantage. There is a large opportunity cost to doing nothing here. If you do nothing then you guarantee that your wealth is significantly reduced. Inventing in something is better than investing in nothing, as long as you don't invest in something that is easily farmed in DM - because the amount of that will inflate as well.

I was just about to suggest this. Seems like commodities in general should rise in cost with inflation. So any commodity should be a safer bet than doing nothing.
Soo do you think I should dump all my gold into something? I've been kinda keeping a threshold of 500g, but maybe I should go all in
Larval Acid
Pristine Black Diamond
Essence of Water
Elemental Earth also up 100% since last week for me.
