So is this a good investment? Just go buy a bunch of helium tanks and keep them in my basement as a gift to my kids 25 years later?

Are speculators already doing this, driving up the price?



My hunch is that you'll lose a lot of your investment over 25 years, without spending more on the storage strategy.


I suppose?

Most of the standard cylinders are fairly secure.

A lot of the time I spent during my job there was preparing cylinders for testing, to assure that they were pressure-secure and airtight. Neat stuff, and a TON of practical physics went into everyday things there. :)
