Unless supply eventually exceeds demand.
That is what I am holding out for. Shutting down the production and supply lines when supply=demand doesn't happen instantaneously. There is a bit of a lag between sales and production.
So I'm still waiting for that "sweet spot" when the production and stock-on-hand exceeds the immediate sales demand. That's the point when the production and sales channels start trying to move the product sitting on the shelves through discounts and rebates, etc.
I believe that convergence of market forces is just around the corner. But I could be wrong - it certainly wouldn't be the first time.
However, even if that opportune moment never materializes, I probably have enough reloading supplies to last me the rest of my life, so as I see it, I have nothing to lose by hedging my bets.
