I am considering investing in certain emergency-related devices and consumables. I intend to sell at a 1000%+ profit, at a future date. The profit will reflect inflation, opportunity and carrying costs. Q: should I stock these supplies or will I be barred from making a profit?

I think if your investment prevents others from buying such goods (emergency related) in times of need for lack of supply, because you bought too much...yes, you should be barred

Assuming prices are determined by the market, everybody who could afford the items would have the items and there would be no need to buy more than you need at the time.

Assuming supply and demand determines the price, as long as your investment (hoarding) is not affecting the supply side and driving prices up, and price is higher because of high demand due to emergency, if anyone who can afford it could by them then, yes, I think you could do it
