I'm assuming his friend's finance company is planning to make use of the cloud compute they find in some finance workload.

I don't think they're buying GPUs outright to store in a warehouse.

Any sort of hardware produced in the last 5 years has at least doubled in price. Some, like RAM are 3-5x more expensive.

So whoever hoarded it in warehouses could sell it now immediately for at least 100% profit.

They seem like geniuses to me now, worst case they make 100% profit on the investment.

Naturally; it should be hoarded in my glorified homelab, where I can more readily listen to the sweet purr of fans.
