Research Report (comments)

Commodity prices change when there are unexpected changes to supply and demand of the target commodity. WikiWealth tries to predict these unexpected changes by examining the companies, which supply and demand the commodity (See Fundamental Commodity Analysis). When demand potential is greater then supply potential, then prices will increase; the opposite is also true. WikiWealth's Main Street Analysis captures - along with user help - the impact of supply and demand changes by analyzing the commodity's importance. In general, the more important the commodity, the faster the price will increase when commodity demand increases. A "Buy" rating from both approaches mean the commodity has high potential to increase in value.

Unfortunately, there is not enough information to find the potential for cocoa suppliers. Investor Survey: Cocoa’s long term growth potential is moderately favorable due to high scores on sensitivity to price changes, short supply and substitute products. SWOT Analysis: Strength: Cocoa has many uses, such as a moisturizer in cocoa butter; Weakness: cocoa has fluctuating farming cost that has increased over time. Opportunity to grow: the consumption of cocoa could increase as the world’s population increases; Threats to growth: global warming could hurt cocoa production in the future. Profit Conclusion: The commodity analysis hold rating indicates that cocoa should stay the same price over the short term, whereas a moderately favorable investor survey means cocoa should increase in price over the long term.

USA Country Analysis (edit / improve) The United States (US) has a highly productive, capitalist economy and is the largest and most diverse market in the world. Currency Analysis: the US dollar (USD) has the potential to increase in value especially versus the Australian and Canadian dollar because of the significant potential of undervalued companies (see investment flows analysis). Investor Survey: the economic environment is very favorable for long term economic growth due to high scores on economic freedom and economic diversity. Trade Analysis: China, Japan, Mexico, and Canada are the top US trading partners, while the leading export and import are electrical machinery and vehicles, respectively. Commodity Analysis: The US produces a significant amount of coal and wheat for use at home and as an export. However, the US consumes a larger amount of oil, which contributes to their trade deficit. SWOT Analysis: The leading US strength is its entrepreneurial culture, while the main weakness is high health care cost. Energy independence has the opportunity to propel growth, while the housing crisis may lower growth. Profit Conclusion: An undervalued currency, high investment flow potential and favorable business environment lead to a positive outlook for US investments, which will also benefit from positive international actions.
