    Is that really a chart of coffee or did you just take an APPL chart and change the label? image

    One pot of coffee per day. Sometimes more sometimes less. No sugar.
    This while checking metals markets.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    less coffee demand at the office, fewer employees. The sale of 4.631 billion cans of Red Bull in 2011 alone also contributes to a decline in coffee.

    Blame Mayor Bloomberg and the Big Gulp ban for the drop in sugar demand.

    Do not drink coffee and do not use sugar. Just green tea and a tad of honey. Cheers, RickO

    Less employees than 2 years ago? If so, then why does such a small decrease in demand result in such a large decrease in price?

    This article was lifted from the website www.BeanFlation.com:
    Most of the worlds raw coffee bean supply is stored in the central Starbucks vaults in New York.
    Threats of over leasing of that coffee and the paper price manipulation is forcing other major companies,
    like Dunken Donuts to question the security of their holdings in the Starbucks vaults. They have
    a 7 yr plan to remove a major portion of their raw coffee. However the implications of creating
    a coffee run, would disrupt the balance of the system. Due to the cost and lower margins in growing
    coffee, the supply is ever tightening. Furthermore the value of the oil-coffee exchange unit is being
    under mined by Soviet/Chinese equivalent Red Bull product. The large firm of MaxwellHouse-Morgan
    now under investigation for manipulating the coffee market, insists that personal hoarding by a small
    volume of private individuals is manipulating the market price, and indeed stacking coffee privately
    in unknown quantities. While some feel the Tea market is the poor man's coffee with an exceedingly
    but yet to be seen breakout potential, recommend adding a substantial volume to ones portfolio.
    'Chock-full of Kitco' charts indicate the 1, 5, and 20 sip indications show abnormal fluctuation, while
    President Obama recommends to continue to drink and enjoy coffee and tea to strengthen the economy,
    while borrowing $0.42 cents for every cup it orders for government employees, and raising the
    instance coffee debt ceiling, supposedly funded by treasury/bond bean sales to offshore investors.

    Obviously, the decrease in coffee demand (loss of employees) is greater than you seem to think.

    I continue to gulp down about 5 cups of java daily, but without the sugar. I've always suspected some sort of price manipulation by all players. The commodity price of coffee bean has dropped substantially over the last year, but not the retail price of java.

    I don't drink coffee without a bathroom being very near...if you know what I mean image

    I like my liquid bread at the end of the day. image Just 1-2 to take the edge off. I don't need coffee, I'm already wired tight enough.

    Wasn't there something going on in Guatemala or some other coffee producing country where this year's crop is almost completely destroyed?
