I think material from old world will drop once Cata hit live. Because to get to the new places, you will most likely fly over low level zone and many people will grab the low stuff if they spot them on their radar, which will increase the supply, so decrease price. Also, all the new golbin/worgen will level up and gather mats on their way, increasing even more the supply.

Thorium on my server is back down to 1g per piece (give or take daily fluctuations). Most farmable items are at fairly generic prices - they're worth no more and no less than the time it takes to farm them.
The problem with investing in goods is that goods generally depreciate in value. Plus, you're paying a 5% transfer duty on sale of those goods (assuming you use the auction house).
If you really want to make / preserve money, invest in a business instead. Within one day, I made back the cost of my Fiery Weapon enchanting formula through AH profits. Investing in a crafting profession so that you can be part of the first few in Cataclysm to hit the new profession cap. That, in my opinion, will yield you a higher return on investment than buying low level herbs.
Just remember that titanium was selling for up to 400g+ per stack and that cut epic gems were selling for 250g+ when they came out. Invest to sell new things that people want, not old things.
