Hmmm.
Interesting.
Darn Chocolate it is the one item that seems to dissapear from our prepper stockade.
Guess if there is an emergency I will have to buy a stockade while others are buying the other essentials.

To me, this makes no sense. Chocolate? It isn’t a necessity. Chocolate is a luxury. It is also perishable. If the price is too high for me, I’m disappointed but nothing essentially changes. So, corner this market? Just wait for next year’s crop.

I know, I know. My family says that. But I decided many years ago that the joys of eating chocolate didn’t outweigh the pain of a migraine and so ... if that buyer thought he’d sell it to me, he just lost big time.

Cocoa prices have more than doubled since 2007, forcing chocolate makers to raise prices and in some cases to change recipes to use less cocoa. This is why we all need to end our dependence on foreign cocoa. :-)

Chocolate? Meh...
If it was beer, I’d be worried.

It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans. And I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day.

"China Chocolato "$1B of cocoa? 1B of Spanish bonds.
Cocoa as a hedge against Spanish bonds? Naw.
A Bass resurrection?
