Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Cocoa prices have surged to $10,000, a 240% increase from the previous year, affecting chocolate prices and outperforming Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) in market performance. The rise is attributed to issues in West Africa, including illegal gold mining, climate change, and diseases affecting cocoa plants. This surge is expected to make chocolate a luxury item, with significant price increases anticipated. The article also compares the buying power of a ton of cocoa to shares of several companies, including NVDA, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Reddit Inc. (NASDAQ:RDDT), Gamestop Corp. (NYSE:GME), and Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:NKLA).
