Sriracha -- What to do????

I've been following the Sriracha crisis closely for some time. I have one and one half bottles in my pantry. Do I go out and try to buy several cases and profit from the potential future shortage? Or, do I just hang on and wait out the worst of it and hope for betterment of the supply/demand situation? These really are the times that try men's souls :'(

I am down to half a bottle.
Story I saw this morning said there is a possible issue with micro organisms in the sauce, requiring a 30 day hold before shipping which should resolve the issue.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/12/12/250430086/sriracha-maker-told-to-hold-its-sauce-for-30-days?ft=1&f=1006
: "In a statement, the California Department of Public Health said, in part, 'a hold time was necessary to ensure an effective treatment of micro-organisms present in the [Huy Fong Foods] product. Holding products for a period of time at a specified pH level is one method of controlling those micro-organisms.' "
I guess we had better stock up soon, but Huy Fong (maker of Sriracha) says not to worry.
From the same article:
But Sriracha fans should have faith, Huy Fong Foods tells CBS Los Angeles. It predicts "there won't be a sauce shortage," thanks to bottles it already has on hand.
