loading up
Stuffing the cargo
Loading up is accumulating or gathering a large quantity of something, typically in preparation for future use or need.
You load up on supplies before a storm, load up your plate at a buffet, or load up on caffeine before a long drive.
In investing, loading up means buying heavily: She's been loading up on tech stocks.
The phrase implies deliberate stockpiling rather than casual acquisition.
