MarketWatch – Cocaine Prices Up 44 Percent

You may have noticed this recent headline: U.S. Anti-Nartotic Efforts Drive Cocaine Prices Up 44 Percent
Or you may just have noticed that you seem to be paying more at the, ah, pump when you go to get your own, than you were in January. Well, it’s true. Even the bananos are up, and a bowl of California cornflakes these days costs more than a block of Google.

So, what I’m wondering is what this is going to do to my stock options? If the cost of Devil’s Dandruff is blowing so high the crackheads are Ghost busting, I’m guessing my shares in the Bolivian marching powder market are golden. My investment broker warned me that Florida snow was a volitile market to crack, but between the Federal Reserve and the DEA, right now that little investment looks more like Star-spangled powder than weasel dust.

Happy trails!
