Purchasing Speculative Inventory for Price Sensitive Demand
The problem studied is one of buying and selling products cost eficiently over a number of periods in a finite horizon setting.

Thus, the problem becomes one of exploiting opportunities to “forward buy” and sell profitably in the face of costs for carrying product.
