Cocoa investor 'buys £650m of beans'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10682433


	Quote: Hedge fund manager Anthony Ward has cornered a large piece of the world's cocoa market after buying 240,000 tonnes of cocoa beans, reports suggest. The £650m ($992m) investment buys Mr Ward enough cocoa to make more than five billion small chocolate bars, the reports say.

That is one hell of a chocolate habit he must have. :shock:

Cash crops and child labour. I bet he sleeps better than he should at night.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

'So, what did you buy with all that money?'

'A load of beans!'

SLAP!

I an debating going to the supermarket and buying a years supply of chocolate, but am worried that I might need to buy a fridge so I do not get a melted mass of chocolate by the end of summer.
