===Step 4: PROFIT!!!!!===
Sell the stockpiles of resources on the market for profit.

At this point you have to consider if you can keep it up or have to switch to another resource. Depending on the tactics you chose, you might want to switch to another resource. For instance, if you fooled other players into using up claims and resources to make a lot of a high-priced resource (e.g. electronics), you can reverse this by faking surpluses on the market with the [[Hacker Array]] or selling as much of it as possible while switching to another resource (follow from step 1 again) that others might not be focusing on. They will have wasted their resources/time/claims on a resource that is now cheap while you already switched to something there will be high demand for.

To accomplish this switch-tactic, you usually have to let the market demand 'build up slowly' using passive tactics so other players won't suspect market manipulation. Then as soon as everyone reacts to the demand by spending resources/cash/claims on it, you quickly go in for the profit, destroying the demand, and leaving them with useless buildings/resources, while you switch to something else. Quick and aggressive tactics too early on won't make the switch-tactic as good because other players won't have invested cash/resources/claims in it. They can thus react or recover quicker from the strategy.
