[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3582267, member: 9374"] I bought out one of the WalMarts one day in late 2019 - am I an entrepreneur or am I stupid? Considering as soon as I got it home, I called 2 of my best friends and told them to come pick out whatever they wanted and gave it to them for exactly what I paid for it, I don't think I'm an entrepreneur. They ended up taking about half or so of what I had picked up. Maybe a third. And I also haven't sold a single round in the intervening year and a half, so that lends more credence to that. As for stupidity, I don't know - some people might think so, but I don't. I had prior to that single large purchase what I would call a 'small' stockpile or reserve. Now I have a slightly 'less small' or maybe even approaching 'medium' reserve. I don't know... I bet I don't have 10,000 rounds total. Well, if you count .22, which is probably 2-3k total, I don't know. I've never bothered to organize and count it all. But I don't think it's stupid. I mean, that's your premise, which one are they? Entrepreneurs or stupid? I'm trying to figure out what would make someone stupid about buying up ammo? As long as you're not overpaying in an inflated market (like now), you're getting a useable asset that is tradeable in extreme scenarios, something not tracked or trackable, something not regulated, and something that will ALWAYS be desired, until we end up in the Stone Age again. I'm trying to figure out what is stupid about it? [/QUOTE]
