If you "horde" when supplies are plentiful and then bring them to market during a time of shortage you are doing everyone a great service. To those who think it's unfair to charge the market price in times of shortage I'd remind you that this sort of investment carries significant costs and risks. Storage isn't free, the money invested could have been used for something else, the stored goods could be damaged or stolen etc.

That said this sounds like "preparing to fight the last war" and you'd probably be better served by looking for the NEXT thing that might be in short supply rather than the current thing.
