Why would they? Can get it a lot cheaper in 6 months or 12 months most likely based on the longterm trend. Not a 100% sure thing but definitely more likely based on this pattern we’ve seen for years now.
Just like deflation , why buy something if it will be cheaper in a year, makes more sense to wait if believed we’ll see another 50% dip next year & the longterm action points to this continuing.id say 80% plus solid chance we are 30% plus lower than .074 in 6-12 months. At least at a point during this period. If a person has 15K to buy, today they can buy approx 205K HP. But if they wait given trend it can go to 300K easily or 350K or 400K plus. Nothing is certain, but it’s such a strong possibility its a reason we aren’t seeing many people do this now.
You can buy hive, stockpile it, and not put it into HP. A good pump can double the profit rate obtained from curing throughout the year.
