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.

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.

This article is more proof that the minimum margin requirements for trading in commodities is just too low--my guess is that the traders at the hedge fund did it with an MMR of 5%. That's why my suggestion for real financial system reform we need to impose a 15% rate, which would discourage the type of wild price swings that caused the price of rice and crude to rocket to record heights in 2008.

NPR, which is to say Liberals/Progressives/Communists, have been pushing the idea of turning all cocoa producing farms into ‘cooperatives’. Then, supposedly, they could set the price of cocoa beans to a ‘realistic’ level so the poverty stricken farmers could get what they should for their crops. NPR was rhapsodizing about this scheme several years ago. Americans were supposed to boycott chocolate and only buy it at artificially inflated prices...with the profit going to South American poor folk. They discussed the same scheme vis a vis coffee.

I’ll tell ya what’s going on.

The scumbags that manipulate gold prices aren’t getting as much bang for their buck anymore in gold. So they are shifting their efforts to new uncharted waters. cacao today. sugar tomorrow. Possibly Kola nuts, bannanas, coffee, rice, tobacco, tea, and spice the day after.
