A Morning eye opening idea

[mrmarket]

How about CAFE or JO? Trading near all time lows after a bad supply crop in 2014. Demand near all time highs. Another below average crop this year and this could really tighten up. I think I'll have a cup or two. What do you think?

Interesting and timely post as I was just placing a large coffee order for my wife (who goes through a pound per week personally).

Here is a brief summery of the difference between CAFE and JO: http://commodityhq.com/2012/which-co...ou-jo-vs-cafe/

Can't really tell if they've bottomed. If they have we're looking at black or brown gold. Likewise if it's the bottom should we start shorting SBUX?

I bought some CAFE this morning at 17.08. Just a flyer...did virtually no research. Will hold til it gets around 25.

Nice little guide to the so-called soft commodity ETFs:

Surprisingly coffee is grown in southern Ohio. Not enough to effect the market. Just went to a site that says coffee isn't grown in Ohio. I've seen fields of it just north of the Ohio river.

Oh, I see the chart visiting the link. Nice one.

Went with JO just because it has more volume.

Separately, SPCB, which I got from Mr. Market 2 years ago, I think, is showing some life after a recent decline.

I wrote a patent for U. of Hawaii for genetically altered coffee trees that produce decaffeinated coffee beans. What fun!

River, I don't drink coffee but drink coca cola. Could these genetically altered coffee beans create coca cola with the exact taste and no caffeine? I can tell a difference with the currently sold caffeine free products. It's the taste, not the effect of the caffeine.

Theoretically yes, but see what is bolded below.
Kola nut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The kola nut is the fruit of the kola tree, a genus (Cola) of trees that are native to the tropical rainforests of Africa. The caffeine-containing fruit of the tree is used as a flavoring ingredient in beverages, and is the origin of the term "cola".
.......Kola nuts are made up of about 2% caffeine, as well as kolanin and theobromine. All three chemicals are stimulants.^[2]
........
In the 1800s, a pharmacist in Georgia, John Pemberton, took extracts of kola and coca and mixed them with sugar, other ingredients, and carbonated water to invent the first cola soft drink. His accountant tasted it and called it "Coca-Cola". Cocaine (not the other extracts from the Peruvian coca leaf) was prohibited from soft drinks in the U.S. after 1904, and Coca-Cola no longer uses kola nor cocaine in its original recipe.

Click on "coca" above. Coca doesn't contain caffeine, it appears.

In purported coca cola recipes here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_formula , the caffeine is added as an ingredient "caffeine citrate".

Can you share info for JO. I am really interested about to know this.

JO is just another coffee tracking ETN. It's chart and that of CAFE are (essentially) identical for the last two years. JO's average daily volume is ten times that of CAFE which might provide more liquidity and might be irrelevant.

Compare JO, CAFE and SBUX http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=J...2%3A1%7D%7D%7D
SBUX is the winner!
