funfact: the US military build up the worlds largest HE supply between the 1940's and the 1990's, for use in military zepplins (if they were ever needed during cold war, because cold war)

after the USSR fell, US senators found out and tried to sell off the american helium surplus, but they soon decided not to when they realized that would crash the world He prices, and cause an instant global recession because of the knockoff effect from doing so

so US has been selling He to the private market slowly for a few decades now

what most people younger than 40 dont realize is that we are in the middle of a huge multi-decade long helium glut, that is coming to an end
Helium balloons will soon be too expensive to be wasted en mass at parties once again

that too
in the end the best strategy tends to be holding on no matter what, its worked out better for me than any other active strategy (long term and consistently anyways)
