The main problem with abstaining for six months is that in this fast-paced
world shelf-life is short lived, and real treasures may only be on the
market for a short time so if you pass them up, you won't have another
chance.  It's not like it used to be where stock was pretty standard and
it didn't matter whether you got it today or not, you knew it would still
be available when you were ready.
