Buy coffee for an easy 25% gain

Posted August 20, 2008

"There are, no doubt, coffee market analysts noting their findings on the black bean with great care, diligence and detail, but none, to my knowledge, write what you might call ‘page-turning prose’. A chart can tell you all you need to know. What it cost, what it costs now and what it’s likely to cost." — Dominic Frisby

Blogger’s note: How many of you out there need coffee to make it through the day? Probably a fair number. How many of you often think of coffee as a major commodity in the world economy? Yeah, neither did I, until Dominic Frisby of the UK’s MoneyWeek reminded me of that fact. The commodities market for coffee is just as strong as that for corn or soy beans. And Dominic has found a great way for you to make a possible 25% gains or more on the coffee market in the next few months. Read on below to learn how.

Baltimore — (TFN): I’m not crazy about coffee. I think it’s an overrated drink, particularly the copious way it’s served today. I prefer tea.

I do like the odd short sharp shot of an espresso and I do like a cappuccino, as long as there isn’t too much of it. A sensible cup will do, not one of these super-sized Starbucks (SBUX:NASDAQ) monsters.

But let us leave aside my irrelevant tastes. No matter what your views of the beverage, August is a good month to buy coffee.

**** Scientists have developed a simple, painless test to diagnose a debilitating disease afflicting an estimated 5.1 million Americans. The number of new cases is expected to increase to 454,000 a year by 2010—and 959,000 new cases a year by 2050. An independent peer-review study found the level of accuracy to be over 90%! Most impressive, given the incredible size of the market for the test alone: This below-the-radar stock trades below $5 a share – way below! Find out how you can position yourself for MAJOR gains… ****

You know me. I like a chart. There are, no doubt, coffee market analysts noting their findings on the black bean with great care, diligence and detail, but none, to my knowledge, write what you might call ‘page-turning prose’. A chart can tell you all you need to know. What it cost, what it costs now and what it’s likely to cost.

Below is a long-term chart of coffee (view the chart here). You can see it’s been in a nicely ascending pattern since 2000, but, if its highs of the 1990s are to be re-tested, it’s got a long way to go. What’s more, it’s trading towards the lower end of the current range. Read on to view a chart of coffee prices and to learn more.

WOW! Hot and scalding! Tea, on the other hand, needs something: raisins, cloves, and cinnnamon for me. O yes: a square of dark chocolate with the coffee...that cup for the road.
