Why would you sell a scarce resource for cheap? Your incentive is to ride the supply & demand line.

- beambot 7y agoTime plays a factor in IRR too.
- gwbas1c 7y ago> My incentive is to sell it now and make sure that it lasts long enough to build me a nice fat retirement fund. Who cares about people 200 years from now.
- friendlybus 7y agoYes but it's scarce. As he sells the price goes up so he controls the outcome. His nest egg permanently exists because it's limited, the supply will always drop. Selling the last dregs of helium for military contracts or private industry will eclipse any reasonable monetary requirements. He can hang on to the smallest amount for a long time. If helium doesn't sell for that much at the last point then it wasn't worth that much anyway and he couldn't build a nest egg off a normal sale price. I don't get it.
