KHC approaching VWAP and looking to rise higher LONGKHC is a consumer staples, not a high flyng tech stock. Content to grind out a trend and take its
time, it now looks to rise from sideways action since the last earnings. It is approaching the
anchored VWAP where the big players sit waiting to pick up shares in the high volatility and
volume zone and so earn a living from other traders who are not as savvy. Rising relative
strengh supports a long trade here as does the Price Volume Trend. I find some balance with
slow and easy swing trades to offset the chaos and volatility of the IT/ AI /Technology sectors.
GIS weekly Cup formation progress LONGGIS a consumer staples is set up long and is a good defensive play for recession or black swan
events. The idea is on the chart. I am long since the first of the year. Adding for small dips
on the daily or 180 minute chart. Food is about as basic as it gets. GIS is a market leader.
TSN idea also. What about McDonalds?
General Mills Rides Price Hikes to Beat Quarterly EstimatesGeneral Mills ( NYSE:GIS ), the iconic maker of Cheerios and a wide array of pantry staples, has once again exceeded market expectations in its third-quarter earnings report, buoyed by strategic price adjustments across its product portfolio. Despite challenges stemming from inflation and shifting consumer preferences, the Minnesota-based company's proactive approach to pricing has proven effective in maintaining profitability.
The company's decision to raise prices on breakfast cereals, snack bars, and pet food products has not only cushioned the impact of escalating labor and input costs but also contributed to a notable increase in gross margin. With a 7% surge in early trading following the earnings release, investors have expressed confidence in General Mills' ability to navigate the current economic landscape.
CEO Jeff Harmening acknowledges the evolving consumer behavior characterized by a preference for value-oriented purchases. However, Harmening remains optimistic, noting signs of inflation moderation and a reduction in supply chain disruptions, providing a glimmer of hope for sustained growth.
While General Mills' ( NYSE:GIS ) gross margin saw a significant boost to 33.5% year-on-year, quarterly volumes experienced a decline similar to industry peers like Kraft Heinz. Despite challenges in the pet food segment, attributed to shifting consumer preferences and retailer inventory adjustments, the company reported a modest improvement in retail sales for its Blue Buffalo brand.
Analysts, including Barclays' Andrew Lazar, note the positive trajectory in General Mills' pet business, signaling investor confidence in its long-term prospects. The company's quarterly net sales, while experiencing a slight dip of about 1% to $5.1 billion, outpaced analysts' expectations, showcasing the resilience of its pricing strategy.
With adjusted profits surpassing estimates at $1.17 per share, General Mills' performance underscores its ability to adapt to dynamic market conditions and deliver shareholder value. As consumers continue to navigate economic uncertainties, General Mills remains steadfast in its commitment to providing quality products while effectively managing costs.

TSN recovering from drop and pullback after Earning Miss LONGTSN is shown here on a 4H Chart. It upended for a month into earnings and then
disappointed with a miss. Following a drop from the miss, it has struggled to
regain its price level. At this point, price has crossed over the POC line on the
volume profile suggesting a preponderance of selling pressure Likewise in confluence
price has crossed over the mean basis line of the Bollinger bands while the RS
indicator shows lines at above the 50 level. I see this as suitable for a long entry
while expecting the price to gradually more up as traders consider whether to take
a position after the retrace from the earnings miss. While this is not in a glamorous or
hot sector, the food industry seems well suited to grind out some profits while
the general market recalibrates and corrects.
GIS upside and the fall to $55 price targetGIS
It's the last chance to sell before correction to $55 price target.
Now it should be a small upside or flat to sell "a good Consumer Defensive share" to retail investors.
On 1W chart MACD and RSI are very high.
On 1M chart MACD and RSI are enormously high!

GIS - (General Mills) Short OpportunityBased on my strategy, there seems to be a Bearish Divergence on GIS.
Meaning that the price action is making higher highs, but the RSI is making lower highs.
This could be a good time to buy PUTS on GIS with a very tight stop loss.
The idea will be invalidated if the RSI creeps about the dotted line on the chart.
I have marked the support levels on the chart based on which you can plan your trades and exits.
Please do your own research. I'm not a financial advisor.
Trade safely!
After Dividends GIS Raised Prices...Will They CRUSH Earnings?Is GIS part of the global Supply Crunch? After several months our GIS retail play is holding up nicely but will they crush earnings? It seems they're poised to knock this out the park on 12 21, but anything could happen. Please DYOR before jumping in to GIS, read their prospectus & recent SEC filings, so there are no surprises. Full disclosure considering cutting bags here. We're done at the grocery store this quarter, & may look to rotate back into sectors that are down.
Grain Supply ChainI read some stuff on social media bashing General Mills about price increases. While I don't agree with corporate greed, rising prices and outlandish CEO pay, I also don't agree with sitting back & doing nothing. I don't have all the answers but I did get into supply side trades last year. I wont give away all the details, but not buying the obvious things that people need every day to live is pretty...dull to say the least. You know what you use, what your kids like & what moves the markets. Having the information is just knowledge, using the info you have to make actionable PROFITABLE decisions is wisdom. Anything commodities related, is likely to get squeezed by inflation. Inflation, you know printing trillions of dollars in worthless junk currency? It was bound to make prices increase. The pandemic, & the supply chain crunch made it all that much worse! But! This could be an excellent buying opportunity for you, if you act. Doing nothing in life is very costly, & missing out on supply chain/inflation/pandemic trades is just plain lazy. Good luck!
