When I look around me I see a lot of crackheads and mentally unstable folk being homeless. Not to many senior citizens. being homeless sucks but Canada tries to take care of senior citizens. OAS CPP and GIS gives you a decent chance of living without being homeless and hungry. Maybe think about it your parents are struggling in retirement you should help them.

Happened to see GIS breaking out this morning and remembered this conversation when it hit $36 a few months ago in r/ValueInvesting where some guy who followed it all the way down was finally dropping it. I swear when I see posts like that I should use it an indicator it's time to buy.

SelenaMeyers2024

This only matters if you invest in 1. Overvalued companies and 2. Indices. I promise you something cheap and boring like GIS or WU aren't dumping 40 percent from their already near low positions.

DrRichardShaftPhD

Interesting. What kind of third world school did you go to? I went to college before you, graduated in 2003, and you would have been entirely unable to function there without a laptop. My (biology) lab alone had a bunch of very robust desktops for modeling and GIS work, and we had a desktop scanning electron microscope. Nearly the entire campus had wifi, and absolutely no one was using a computer that wasn't connected to the internet unless it was purposefully air-gapped.

Groucho-and-Harpo

I’m doing the same thing. Going even higher on margin (only 28% equity percentage). But to limit risk, I am letting covered calls run ITM as much as possible. So if for some reason the market or an individual stock tanks I won’t get a margin call. I do leave a slight buffer on the 28% too. My overall strategy then is to roll on down days. This maximizes the amount of credit on the roll. If for some reason the stock tanks sharply, I close out or let the calls expire worthless then regroup. I just did this for SOFI…16.5/17.0 strike calls went worthless post earnings, then I sold 17.5 strike CCs once the stock popped up again. I don’t panic when the stock goes way ITM. Either it comes back down later, or it gets called away and capital goes elsewhere. I do think it will help to diversify, especially don’t get all stocks that swing together. If gas prices shoot up, your portfolio goes down in unison, especially F and AAL. Try adding healthcare stocks like PFE, consumer staples like GIS or GAP, maybe even precious metals like SLV as a buffer. OP feel free to PM me. Would love to bounce ideas around with someone working the same strategy!

I lie that you downvoted my comment, and then downvoted u/Oxbix when they gave you a recent example. If you'd like to cure some of your ignorance, the practice is "bottom-up innovation" or "decentralized command". In their Ukrainian example, it resulted in the "GIS Arta" software and Kropyva app and improvised FPV drone warfare. Good examples in the US is the "Open Topic" AFWERX program and the Marine Corps "Tactical Edge" network. In Australia, it's called "Defense Innovation Makerspaces". For a historical example, Google the German Auftragstaktik (translated as "Mission Command"). It was pioneered by the Prussian and German militaries, this philosophy gave lower-level commanders absolute operational freedom. Senior leaders only dictated the overall goals. Maybe, you want to go back further, the Romans and ancient greeks also institutionalized "tactical autonomy" with structured information networks to pass tactical successes up the command chain. The Centurions and Tribunes would run campaigns, and funnel all tactical success and failures back to Rome who would then funnel those out to the various fronts. Another great example is Greek armor, which evolved directly from frontline feedback. But, it's clear that you prefer your arrogant willful ignorance. Enjoy your bliss, mate. Personally, I find it adorable.

I'll look back at this and think to myself: Should have just bought the chip instead of also picking up GIS, CPB, and KHC around the same time... BUT I also think those three will pay off in the long term.

horesebeblind

I would submit AAPL and GOOGL are somewhat defensive in nature. Large mature companies with easy to grasp businesses. Further, the old defensive stocks: PEP, PG, GIS, KHC hardly seem safe anymore. Good places to lose money IMO. AAPL and GOOGL safer.

You seem to be unaware of benchmarks like Humanity’s Last Exam. https://agi.safe.ai/ Or the METR benchmarks. Follow that link and educate yourself.

At this point it’s hard to imagine a crash because a lot of what’s driving these companies pumping is B2B/gov contracts, not retail.. like if you look at say a retail stock like GIS it’s been doing horrible. So everyone holding out, like I did, will eventually capitulate, like I did, as you have said. TLDR: I capitulated and started buying so here comes the crash.

Joffie87

I barely graduated high school because I didn't care about anything but my choir classes. I spent 20 years working my way up facilities management at a million sq foot commercial property. In the past year, while working full time until January, I used AI to help me: Start a 501c3 dedicated to helping educate people about technology like AI, and how they can start changing their lives, and the lives of their communities, for the better. Design and direct the building of multiple software projects, including an AI governance platform, intended to allow people to use ai effectively, while keeping it's capabilities under the control, of the rules I write for every project. Using that, we are prototyping a cheap "snow sensor", designed to send images when snow starts, and begins to accumulate, that also imports to our Snow Operations Reporting System (SORS). SORS, is just our first offering of reporting software. It allows snow removal operators to quickly easily capture real-time conditions info (GPS, weather) and images, to create professional looking and customizable branding capable reports. At the same time, collected historical data can be imported and FUSED with NOAA data, and displayed using GIS software, to create site maps that show heavy accumulation areas, historical slip and fall locations (those cost money), etc. There are about 20 other things we're cooking too, but right now it's difficult because people think ai is only good for generating slop and don't understand technology at all.

You cherry picked three conglomerates of shitty junk food. These aren’t representative of the consumer stable sector. Check the SP500-30 which tracks the Consumer Staple potion of the S&P. It’s up 9% YTD. Real Estate, Industrials, Communication Services, Materials are all up 10+%. Energy is up 23%. Consumer Discretionary and Utilities are up 3-4% The only laggards are healthcare and finance, but it’s just incorrect to say that Semis are pulling up the whole market.

ChinaWetMarketLover

This is happening with other legacy household brands too like GIS. Seems like the decline is likely due to lack of moat/store brands gaining share/k shaped recovery causing the bottom to toghten their belts.

Master_External9526

GIS margins got squeezed for a couple quarters in 2022 before shelf prices caught up. walmart pushes back harder on supplier increases now than they did then. wrong side of the inflation trade imo

sleepystockmarket

The 1970s stagflation era is the best historical case study here, and the answer is counterintuitive. During the 1973-74 and 1979-80 food/oil price shock periods, branded food companies like General Mills, Heinz and Campbell's actually held up reasonably well — but for a specific reason: they had pricing power. They could pass input cost inflation onto consumers, and because their products were everyday staples, demand remained inelastic. Gross margins compressed briefly then recovered as price increases were absorbed. The losers were the commodity processors without brand moats — companies whose margins were entirely at the mercy of input costs they couldn't pass on. The wheat millers and generic food manufacturers got squeezed from both ends. The real problem today vs the 1970s is that we're arguably at the tail end of a 15-year period where retailers (Walmart, Costco, Amazon Fresh) accumulated enormous pricing power over suppliers. The squeeze Alicyclobacillus mentions is real. GIS and KHC have both been fighting this dynamic — consumers trading down to store brands. So history says: rising food prices are broadly \*neutral to mildly positive\* for strong-brand food companies in the short run (they can raise prices), but \*negative\* in the medium term if it accelerates consumer trade-down to private labels. Which is exactly what we've been seeing. Worth watching whether this latest round of price increases holds or triggers another round of volume losses.

Longjumping-Fact-582

Personally I think brand name food companies such as KHC and GIS have hit the short-term limit on their pricing power, any increases in price whether energy related or not will likely hurt sales and push consumers into lower prices generic brands, unfortunately 2 of the biggest beneficiaries of that trend would be Walmart and Costco which both trade at unreasonably high multiples so I wouldn’t reccomend going that route either My favorite stock pick in the “food” category at the moment is DPZ, value menu pricing is attractive to “struggling” consumers and corporate profits are relatively insulated from cost inflation due to the royalty structure of how corporate makes its profits. Though of course franchisee profits must be retained in the long-term for the health of the franchise. Trading at 21X earnings it’s certainly not a bargain but I believe it’s a fair price to pay for a quality franchise

drew-gen-x

I bought $IP and $GIS along with $CAG this morning. I want to replace my $TLT position w divy stocks. I've already bought $T, and $VZ. I get the bear case on processed food stocks; but they're learning to run very efficiently. And if I can buy consumer staples at prices lower than 2020 COVID lows with today's inflation & get paid a divy to wait for a rebound, I can wait.

crimeo

I didn't say it every day. The last time I said it was when I saw reports that Chinese crematoriums were burning so many bodies from COVID victims early on that the smoke plumes were being picked up by satellite GIS/whatever data. And this is the next time I'm saying it. Because unlike random abstract pessimism or predictions in years in between, this time there's again a massive, completely physically-impossible-to-ignore issue with shortages and spiking price of oil. You cannot physically just fail to raise prices or keep making stuff at the same rate with that shortage.

EmbarrassedCow2825

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/090915/reinvesting-dividends-pays-long-run.asp Read this. Remember that people on reddit are severely misinformed. They take 1 sentence that sounds good, and repeat it without doing any research. The fact is that a dividend strategy can be great depending on your goals, risk tolerance, and strategy. The greatest companies on earth would not be giving out dividends if it was a horrible investing strategy. As for taxes, in a Roth IRA they are tax free, and outside of a Roth they are taxed as qualified dividends and at a lower rate. You need to watch out for some international stocks that take the tax out of your dividend, and it can be really high (think some countries are like 35%) but you can deduct that from your taxes. The difficult part is staying discipled. For dividend growth to work, you need to be willing to hold the stock, and not panic sell. I don't know enough about GIS to say it's a steal, but imagine you lock in a 7% dividend, and the stock rallies. You essentially lock in that dividend for life (unless it's cut) and on top of that they grow the dividend. For dividends, I look at the long game. I'm about 35 years away from retirement, and I want to retire off dividends. Where I have strong, dependable paychecks flowing in every month, and I never have to sell a stock. One day I can pass that to my son, and my entire portfolio will still be intact and hopefully appreciated.

Aigpil

The stock search gets easier with a screen: price < $50 (100 shares ≤ $5k), options OI > 1k at standard strikes, bid-ask ≤ $0.20 at 30-delta. That's structurally how SOFI and SMCI ended up on your list — they clear it. GIS doesn't; the spread eats premium fast on a 1-2 contract position. On INTC: standard options are 100 shares per contract. At 50 you can't write a CC yet. Either wait for a pullback to complete the lot at a price you're comfortable with, or redirect that capital into a fresh CSP on something from your screen. What DTE are you targeting on the puts?

fernandovogt

The rotation idea of 4-6 tickers is solid — more than that and you're basically running a fund with extra steps. One thing worth considering with SMCI/SOFI/GIS: they're not created equal from an IV standpoint. SMCI and SOFI tend to carry elevated IV, which means better premium but also more whipsaw risk on your shares. GIS is the opposite — steadier, but you're not getting paid much. Selling puts to acquire is a legit entry strategy, just watch where earnings land relative to your expiry.

This_Is_The_End

The typical ignorance of retail investors is the extrapolation of their past experience, while the world was developing . Modern software has just a web frontend and will be created by AI. The majority of software is running on serves. As soon there is a success of France and there will be one, because France looks at the US as an issue for the nation, there will be chain reactions, because MS does a horrible job of making customers wanting nothing else. A product like windows which creates expensive license management, expensive administration and put ads on a user PC, is horrible. Already when using virtual machines, the license management becomes a hell. The only issues is special software like cartography or GIS systems. MS wont die from France, but is the beginning.

USNRetColdIron

Well I for one read the whole thing, I purchased 3,500 shares today. USA OTCQB:PSRHF Set my limit at $1.50 when it was at $1.55 of course then it closed at $1.44 which is normal when I buy LOL. Tomorrow I may set another buy at $1.40 limit for an additional 2,000 shares. Again with my luck that will drive the price up... I have to pay a $50 foreign transaction fee for each transaction but felt $1.50 was too high to dump all in at once. In retrospect I should have. Actually should have back when it was .32 last Fall. That hindsight thing, but I wanted to make sure and do my due diligence. My concern is stock dilution for equipment and infrastructure and knew the banks were invested but didn't know the deadlines or 12% interest. Hopefully they will get the funding to pay off University Bank before the deadline this Fall. Thanks for that. Recently stumbled on a Nov. 25, 2025 virtual tour of Topaz and Q&A it is worth the watch IMO. [https://www.investormeetcompany.com/meetings/virtual-site-visit-and-qa-with-ceo-thomas-abraham-james-and-helium-3-advisor-dr-peter-barry](https://www.investormeetcompany.com/meetings/virtual-site-visit-and-qa-with-ceo-thomas-abraham-james-and-helium-3-advisor-dr-peter-barry) He mentions that when production first starts they will worry about getting Helium to market first the He-3 separation MAY come later after they are in production and getting He-4 out the door. Almost makes sense after reading what you wrote. The other thing he mentioned was the CO2 which is a large byproduct of the He-4\\3 processing. He mentioned a nearby railroad that they would likely use for shipping CO2 due to the volume of it, but that rail hasn't been used in years. You can see the undergrowth on and around it easily enough so would think they would be aware of that. The 3 phase power lines (electrical transmission lines) that they need to tap into run along that RR track. It isn't too far from the wells but spendy to install a substation with lines and going to take awhile. Hopefully they have started with that process. And assume a pipeline will run from the plant to the Railroad along that path. They will have to do a bit of a zig and zag because in the middle of a straight line between the wells and RR is Sand Lake Peatland Scientific and Natural Area which is protected. But it shouldn't be too much to go around it. In theory. Today poked around on the Mn. State GIS Plot data maps. I know that area well and have hunted grouse around there although usually to the East and North. They do own sections of land under the name KEEWAYDIN RESOURCES INC which I assume is a play on Keewatin means “Northwest Wind” in Ojibway (Chippewa), and is also the name of the area rock formation which contains the iron ore. It is in the Iron Range. A lot of the surrounding land is State owned including State Forest and School Trust Land. And some Federal land in the Superior National Forest. The new president Cliff Cain has previous experience with gas rights and the State of Mn. I believe. Mineral rights are well established but gas not so much. They have temp permits into the summer. Very well done and well written! And Good Luck to the both of us. And anyone else that jumps in.

greenalpharesearch

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but more turmoil just means more volatility. And that creates opportunity if you’re not panicking. I’ve been slowly accumulating GIS. It has nothing to do with the Iran situation, yet it’s getting dragged down anyway. Why buy? Big dividend, boring business, well-known name. Classic “safe” stock that still gets sold when everything gets sold. I always scope for that kind of disconnect; solid company, pays me to wait, and gets cheaper because the market’s acting emotional. It’s a hedge against more volatile names for sure, but still a solid play on its own.

xLecavalierx

I like GIS. They were buying back stock plus increasing the dividend in recent years, and even if they pause the buybacks and freeze the dividend, the current payout is safe. Inflation is bad for GIS, but they are diversifying the brand lineup, I’m a fan of a couple of their “healthier option” lärabar :-) and believe 100% in the company to manage the brands and supply chain long term. As of right now today, in my opinion, anything mid $30’s is a fine buy as part of a balanced breakfast— er I mean— diversified portfolio.

zbern

The dividend is nice, but it does affect the share price. Also, take into consideration a company that pays out a high dividend but the yearly growth can't keep up. For example - let's say GIS pays out 7% but the stock also drops 10% on top of that. And then there's taxes to account for.

PlanetCosmoX

You have two choices, wait it out or pivot. Being a new investor is irrelevant, you have no idea what you’re doing. If you knew what you were doing you would have modified your investments to take advantage of the current situation. Being an investor is work, if you’re not doing the work then you’re going to get caught like a beached whale. If you invested in an index then you should be fine. If you invested in individual companies then you should have known what was going to happen, you should have been reading the news and predicting Trump. Choose what level you want to be, but don’t sit there and say you’re not a new investor, when it doesn’t look like you’ve bothered to do the footwork of a regular investor. FFS, there are multiple industries going through important periods of expansion from Ai to drones to robotics to GIS. Pick one.
