I would like more analysis that uses the word "frothiness" please.

    These are just further evidences of the levels of frothiness achieved in equity

    markets today

Maybe I will be able to buy a house in a few years after all.

You know I have been on and off thinking about investing in coffee and cocoa commodities.

You laugh but among the bearish "froth" simply means "multiple bubbles."

I think we oughtta invest in cocoa fields. But you've heard my pitch.

I think there's a better way.

I think a reasonable venture capital firm could fund cacao cooperatives on Hawaii. I think that in five years they'd have American chocolate that they can sell varietals grown in a climate that is only going to get more appropriate for cacao as global warming gets worse. I think if macadamia nuts can make a few select Hawaiians rich where Hershey bailed hard, the farmers growing tomatoes and other subsistence bullshit could probably make a pretty good living switching over to an export crop.

I would love to get an NGO involved in building out a varietal cacao culture in Hawaii. I think it would be the best thing for the economy since before statehood.

I’m still interested in this idea. Have a couple roadblocks to it though.
