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.
GIS finally moving. one corn flake at a time.
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.

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.
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?
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.
Maybe a GIS merger makes sense. misery loves company
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.
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.
What is your time horizon? Thoughts on GIS?
Time to load up on GIS
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.
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.
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.
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.
Did a bit of shopping as well today: $RDDT, $GIS, $SOFI
Have you looked at GIS long-term chart recently?
Look at GIS 10 year chart. I’m pretty sure if you bought 10 years ago you still be up 60% with dividend.
General Mills (GIS) is a fucking steal here. Literally free money on an upside bounce here no matter what happens in the world.
GIS? It's been a while on that one. I got out with profit, but yeah, was wrong on GIS. I sold that pop a couple months back. Weight loss drugs killing all food companies, I didn't consider how huge this was, everyone is on those things.
extremely wrong about GIS though, lmao.
Which is where the op lost me. Off the top of my head a bunch of consumer staples stocks like CPB, FLO, CAG, GIS, etc. are selling at 10-25 year lows. But nobody wants in on those because of the narrative du jour. It'll be the same thing when they pass on MSFT and AMZN and GOOGL at 40%+ off. If you wants quality stocks on that big of discount, you have to buy them when post on reddit and 80%+ of posters start telling you that you're crazy and throwing your money away. I'm bearish on the current market on the macro level, but this is the problem with being \*too\* bearish: you miss out on great opportunities to buy because you get in your head that you need to call the bottom. Especially if you want the picks of the litter on stocks. People who didn't go through the GFC don't even get it. If all of private equity went to $0 tomorrow it would be a drop in the bucket compared to what CDO\^2 did to the global financial market. I'm fully of the belief in the next year or so we've got a very good chance of retesting 5700

GIS at 10 year low Friday. Ask me how I know
It's too hard to exactly predict where it'll end, so I'll start dipping my toe in on a few things along the way. Some stuff has already way overcorrected. Like I mentioned in another post, CPB, FLO, GIS, CAG, and others have have hit as much as 25-year lows. Things like gold and silver are on their own timetables as well.
Just a head's up all kinds of stocks like FLO, CAG, GIS, CPB, and such are at like 20-25 year lows because investors decided everyone is suddenly health conscious. It won't matter much when it's all people can afford to eat. CPB is even green today.
I was assigned GIS shares at a 10 year low. Should I just dump them?
Top is in for GIS. Jim Cramer saying it’s a dead stock
Bought some GIS stock yesterday during the dip
may have gone in GIS too heavy too early
Who knew less childrens = lower cereal sales? GIS new low.
Not sure everyone think about GIS.
Anyone playing General Mills? These staples are all dumping hard last few years. Surprised GIS hasn't sold off harder like other CPG names. KO held up really well too. These are low IV, so cheapish options
Does no one eat cereal anymore?? or is it just that General Mills ticker symbol is GIS, that no one wants to touch it?
GIS is going to zero
I want to add GIS to a dividend account but you wanks dont wanna buy their garbage food
Why is GIS so cheap but food isn't?
I've swing traded GIS a handful of times with good success, airlines too.
Store brands and companies that failed to innovate (KHC). plus people not drinking (DEO.) Also, the problem is that in this world of narratives, cheap has to be cheaper than before. So many people on here who went on for years about PYPL being cheap in the 60's and then it eventually winds up in the 30's. Nobody wants to wait for GIS to turn things around while there are tons of things that are working. If you're retired, then there are things that are going to get through this and they can DCA and get more yield. Other than that though, I just have had no interest - I've said this before; I'd rather own the shelves (KR) if had to own food. Maybe you get further consolidation in this sector, but that doesn't mean that deals will be done well - look at SJM buying Hostess, which has been a disaster that's already seen write-downs.
When I talk about KHC or GIS or even MDLZ, the first thing that comes to mind isn't necessarily sugary, highly processed drinks containing gas! I only have one thing left to say: I'm going to short PG! Dump it.
No ones interested in this one, but long dated GIS calls are a sure thing
This guy must have a GIS degree
Shouldn’t high gasoline benefit gross shelf-stable foods manufacturers for poors like CPB, KHC, GIS, etc?
I don’t know. I’m looking at GIS. Can’t figure out why it’s not moving up with stocks like you mentioned.
I have a yahoo watchlist called Depression Food and Booze. Tickers are CPB, GIS, KHC, CAG, LW, MGPI, and DEO. The depression food companies closed green today. The booze companies closed red.
GIS bullish 5 day chart
Would you be more inclined to accept answers from strangers or from a prop firm that has many 7 and 8 figure per year traders? If the later, then follow SMB Capital trader policy and size based on conviction. Find their info on their sites, plus you tube channel. today I took 2 earnings plays with mar 20 options. the long trade, GIS, 5 contracts, the short trade, LI, only 1. i bought early to get the volatility push if it materializes.
GIS should change it’s name to General Drills 😂
If you want to diversify from a HYSA, then yes a cash brokerage is an option. Depending on the state you file taxes a muni bond ETF or mutual fund is a good option. A broad market mutual fund or ETF is also good. Then I'd look at the large cap dividend company stocks like PFE, GIS, VZ, T. Buy 5 shares a week. Collect all the S&P100 or 500 or 1000! Ok maybe that's ludacris. But you get the idea.
lol into PG , KO, , LLY, MCD, VZ, GIS This is textbook It’s basically automated , triggered panic selling in best of class growth companies into value. But once pessimism is baked in, the panic buying back in will follow, and no one will give you a heads up “it’s time to buy CRWD again “ first Because the same people having to answer to angry clients about capital preservation are the same people that lose angry clients if they underperform This is where retail can have an edge
I use it daily. We have the corporate version of ChatGPT. Its good at cleaning tabular data, writing Python scripts, Arcade expressions, troubleshooting workflows, etc. I'm a GIS Supervisor.
value stocks get hit hardest during recessions. Not even consumer staples are safe right now. Look at KHC/GIS/CAG
bro my nephew is expected to take his first steps in 1-2 months so I expect GIS to bottom out around 8 months after that.
I have never paid this much for Google services in my life and it's entirely worth it. I subscribed to the Ultra plan back in November and it has changed my daily workflows. I'm saying this as a GIS Manager and Developer for a Environmental Engineering firm, it's changing the way we work. Take that as the anecdotal evidence that it is but I can tell you first-hand that I won't be ending these services any time soon.
GIS pissed in my Cheerios this morning.
GIS drilling on weaker consumer. WMT puts free money?
Bet the farm on AEO American Eagle Outfitters and it went up like crazy. >150% in 6 months. Then I pivoted to GIS General Mills. They hit a multi-year low recently and have really struggled. They sold a profitable division, which caused future earnings to temporarily drop. They'll find their footing, and I'll get a 5% dividend while I wait. It may be a while, but their dividend has been paid without interruption since the 1800's. Thru pandemics, multiple world wars and the likes. And if there is an economic downturn or the AI bubble pops, money will shift into consumer staples as a defensive play. So if the economy does well, I expect GIS to get things turned around before too long. And if the economy does poorly, I expect GIS to do well.
if this is the case, selling naked puts is not a bad idea. If the stock goes up, sideways, or even a little down (depending on the price/strike price) you make money off the premium. If it goes below the strike price you now own 100 shares. If you don't want that you can always roll the contracts. You can be conservative with how you do things and still generate 20%-30% returns. A lot on this subbreddit from my short time here seem to looking to hit HR's, generating lots of return. Thats great, but 30% is still really good, and it can be done in a safe manner. For instance, I sold a put on GIS (General Mills) on 1/12. Collected a .60 cent premium (so $60 immediately). Expiration is 2/20. It was a strike price of $42.5 and the price that day was like $43. So my break even was that 42.50-.60. The stock had to drop to 41.90 for me to be out of the money. That said, General mills is safe, not really volatile and I would'nt mind owning it. It went up, and I got out early buying a put for .08, so I made $52 and was able to get something else before the 2/20 expiration. Is it a ton of return? no...but its generally a safer way to do things.
Infrastructure such as railways and consumer defence. Check Pep and GIS
Well, I'm about break even on GIS, and slightly ahead with the dividend. It's been a wild ride - a bit more wild than what I expected from a consumer staple. It's a little worrisome when the price keeps going down and down, but this pop has given me a bit more confidence in the stock. If it did drop to $40, I'd probably buy more. I now plan on keeping it longer-term and using it as a type of hedge for a downturn. Despite all the talk about AI and markets hitting ATH's, there seems to be more and more rumblings about the economy not doing well. Layoffs, spending cuts, increases in delinquencies - there are some clouds on the horizon. Some of my GIS is on margin, and the dividend almost covers the margin rate. For a solid company that pays a rock solid dividend, I'm sleeping OK at night.
Fk this, I’m going all in on GIS
I saw the XLP move the first day which was a jump 3% and I thought. Man.. I want to buy calls on this, but felt like i'd get rug pulled the next day. Nope, another 7% since. My best performing stocks have been TGT, UPS, and GIS. Who would have thought lol.
CAG, KHC, MCD, HRL, GIS, PEP, KHC...sector rotation happening, institutions moving money out of tech and into consumer staples. Conagra Brands call options are still cheap. 2x+ gains were had in some of the above. Going to keep buying deep itm CAG calls with 1.00 deltas. Will Tues keep rotating into staples? I think so. These haven't seen any fomo yet. In fact these have been hated beat up stocks.
Look at GIS 10 years chart. FLO as well. 5% and 9% dividend
fun fact, consumer defensive stocks have never had a % day high since trump took office, this is a clear sign of trend reversal. buy GIS, CPB, XLP, SCHD now before its too late, the charts are going inverse, tech is going to start crumbling so valuation can be cheap again to be bought, but that will take years, in the meantime GIS will go up from $40 to $70, CPB from $25 to $50, look at the charts, they dont lie. ur just at the start of a consumer defensive and dividend aristocrat bullrun
posted last year saying to keep buying and sell off end of january before market corrects and rotate into value stocks if u have been listening your portfolio would be all green now look at DOW, CPB, CAG, AMCR, BAX, GIS, STZ. these stocks barely move > 2% in a trading day but they are up 5-7%, its a clear rotation out of overvalued tech stocks for a clean reset. buy these safe stocks, they will outperform tech. wait for another 2 years for tech sector to reset and start the next bull run
I was meming yesterday but at the rate things are going dividend stocks might actually be the play this year. GIS is outperforming my qqq.
You’re not going to like the answer. It’s consumer staples and oil. GIS and Hormel for example are trading at 10 year lows while having a strong real yield with the current higher for longer rate environment
There is nothing special about Palantir’s software. It has no special capabilities and it’s not even AI. It’s below average GIS software that applies AI as tools, and it’s below average because other companies have much better applications than what Palantir created. The only thing Palantir did different is marketed the software to people who know nothing about software and do not have the capability to understand it, and they marketed it as a black box. The perception of value to these idiots is what awarded Palantir contracts. If you bothered reading the earnings you’d notice that every project that Palantir gets requires an army of consultants to apply the software to that specific function, which is exactly what a regular GIS company does.
Stock price on the stock exchange is not alway linked to the funamentals of a company (crazy i know). For conservative inestors (like me) dividend is a way to absorb potential market volatility. Take GIS. It went from 95 to 45 while the company fundamentals stayed the same. The dividend payed by the company allows a risk averse investor to absorb the loss.
A lot of stocks got killed. Will they recover? GIS FLO same way
I went with sofi early this afternoon after the drop. Also added GIS a few days ago.
I say FLO back to 30 and GIS back to 90. Shrink those dividends.
GIS to the moon 🚀 🥣 🌾 Only green in my portfolio btw I am never investing again.
Actually, Palantir is behind marketing sub performing software compared to competitors, they’re just better at marketing it to informed idiots that don’t have an understanding to begin with. Marketing a black box to Trump is much easier than trying to tell him what’ actually going on. He’ll consider the black box to be worth more as well. So really the success of Palantir is a reflection of the stupidity of the people making the decisions and isn’t a reflection of the capabilities of the software. Palantir is not an AI company, it’s a GIS company. This is clear in the earnings as each project requires influx of consultants to drive it.
I'd rather get rekt on GIS KHC... but McCormick could also be a prime candidate for a harsh correction from Wall Street... LOL There may be some hope, given that PG has rebounded recently...
I’m drawn to CVA’s valuation and high yield, but its giving me flashbacks to KHC in 2019— an experience that didn't end well for me. KHC still hasn't figured out how to revive its revenue, and defending against private labels feels like a never-ending treadmill for these legacy brands. On the other hand, GIS' pet food division has an edge against private label. I know pet owners that will spend up which creates the kind of brand loyalty and pricing power that pantry staples just don't have. That said, if CVA actually executes its turnaround, the potential upside is significantly higher. No position currently, I'm considering OGN more than anything, thanks for that!
I just looked at GIS. Nicely profitable with significant FCF. Net debt to EBITDA not ridiculous at 3.7x and they have been paying down. Decent dividend at 5.5% which I think is safe. Should hold up well if we go into a recession. I like it and added to my watchlist to consider buying. I think long term, it could retrace to $70ish range so about 50% upside potential.
I learned 2 things in my 21 years in investing 1- Don't try to predict markets, try to understand if the business you're buying will be here in 25 years. If you just own the SP500, not even a need for the 2nd part 2- Use the markets as the tide. Don't fight against it because it is illogical and understand that the whole world is not Reddit or your circle of friends/age group in your city. What I am trying to say in examples is, Just because you're grom a major US city and you're 30, don't think Facebook is not growing (when Meta was at 88). Just because the news are yapping about the end of oil dependance don't think oil is dead (5 years ago) Just because pandemic happened, people is not going to stop going out/being social (Peloton, zoom... hype) Just because Apple products are overpriced, obsolescence programmed, no innovation... blah blah blah, doesn't mean they have a fanbase, Apple is seen as a symbol of status and since I begar readings rhose critiques, the stock price has gone up may be 20 fold. What thinks I see today, that I want to think I am seeing right, after all those years of learning The trend now is AI and companies energy related but... For example food stocks and beverages PEP, MDLZ, KHC, CAG, GIS... are struggling. BUT. I don't know if people is gonna use AI that much, what I know for sure, is that people is going to keep eating. Brand loyalty is not that strong anymore, but all of us prefer the real Pepsi, the real Oreos and the real Heinz ketchup. Another thing about food stocks. 2 things. One is the GLPs. I am seeing already (my wife is a surgeon and does plastic surgery) people want to have the cake and eat it. So, what people want, is not to be thin. But to be able to eat more cookies and then be thin. Even if that costs money, surgeries or even side effects. And second, just because in some areas of Europe, US, Australia and Japan, we are more health aware, that doesn't mean the rest of the world is like us. I've been A LOT in African countries (arab and black african) and in both cultures eating A LOT, and eating brands is seen as a symbol of status. In my last travel to Morocco, the cousin of the friend I traveled with to Fez, was having like 8 Pepsi cans/day. And he liked it to put the Pepsi outside of the car wile driving and walking by the street with the can. Totally unexplainable to me. Another trend Nike is on the shitter, but same thing. EVERYBODY was on Nike clothing and shoes in Morocco (for sure 80% fake) but still it is a symbol of status for them. And I looked at it. Do you know which brand is the most valuable and likable in all Africa? Nike. So I won't be so bearish when a whole continent, that is gonna double their population in the next 25 years, loves that brand. And Africa while super poor is a continent where wealth is gona 4x in those 25 years.
And go long on packaged foods because they are all that's left to spend on. CAG, BGS, GIS all at excellent entry points
Holding fast with SMCI, but building up GIS -- hard to beat a 5% dividend at such an affordable price.
Honestly (brutally so perhaps) speaking; Data analysis positions were hired to gross excess during COVID. A huge number of universities started data science programs that really just amount to rebranded statistics degrees, without the hard math requirements. A lot of people in the analytics field aren’t as competitive as they think. I taught in a program that got a lot of overlapping CS and Data Science students taking our courses (geographic analysis, specifically GIS, remote sensing, and spatial statistics). Comp sci and data science students have been our worst performing students since the inception of their programs. We even were required to get rid of our physics and calculus pre requisite classes just so they could meet their graduation requirements.
GIS PAYING OUT BABY 🤑🤑🤑🤑 Tech down, General Mills up up up 😌
FLO back to 2008 levels. GIS exdividend date Friday. Buy today to collect. I don’t know what to think about these.
Go to any thrift store and count the number of Vera Bags they’re trying to sell for $25 because they were popular 10 years ago on the Etsy resale circuit. If you’re into investing in consumer cyclical luxury goods, try TPR. Right now CPB and GIS would probably be a better investment.
All Consumer defence are down. Look at GIS, PEP, KHC and CPB
OP, how do you feel about GIS today with it sitting at its 52wk low?
GIS on a fast 10% slide down. Easy place to buy hoping for a bounce.
I just took a look at their brands. I don't feed my family any of that trash. I'm not some organic crunchy parent either. Their brands are literally diabetes-inducing trash. It's a sugar-food company. People don't need to eat GIS foods.
