You should've invested in cocoa!  There's a hedge fund manager in London who's sewn up the market!

"In a stroke, a hedge fund manager here named Anthony Ward has all but cornered the market in cocoa. By one estimate, he has bought enough to make more than five billion chocolate bars."

It's a plot, I tell ya!  An evil, nefarious plot to drive wimmin insane through chocolate deprivation!

See how a hedge fund drives up the cost of a candy bar?

At the end of the article they noted that the cost of a bar won't go up much (the cocoa's a small part of the cost).

Commodities are always prone to such shenanigans, like the Hunt brothers and silver around '82 or so.

I want the good chocolate tho.   LOL.  Not the cheap junk.

I hated chemistry class. I would have liked it more had I only known this:

I really don't know, but just in case it is (I don't want to run afoul of the law) and to make you happy, I changed it.

I wouldn't give a shit...the site might.

Nice to see you in such fine fettle this evening.

Sod it, forth first time in  months , even a year or more, after reading this thread, I felt the need for chocalatl, a 500g bar later I still desire the taste.



pahunkboy -> RE: Hunk! Ya got the wrong stuff! (7/25/2010 8:56:38 AM)

Many of the new bars are lacking in cocoa butter.  Especially American chocolate.

It should not be so hard to get a good choco bar at a fair price.
