Maybe we can ask a related question: How can we profit from these oscillations? If they're predictable, there should be an arbitrage opportunity.

- heavenlyblue 4y agoHow about you suggest an actual business plan than an abstract idea?
- losteric 4y agoDoesn't arbitrage reflect pricing inefficiency? What is inefficient in container pricing? I can certainly see opportunity to profit through stock market inefficiencies. Eg transportation stocks that were overpriced on supply chain FUD
- toast0 4y agoThe way to profit from gluts and squeezes is to warehouse products. Warehousing perishable products is much harder. If you store the products in containers, it's easier to ship them when there's a squeeze, and you're also warehousing containers ;) Of course, the more people who buy the glut and sell the squeeze, the less of a glut and a squeeze there is.
- bertjk 4y agoOf course, if you do warehouse products, and then try to take advantage of a squeeze, then you may get accused of price gouging.
