  • vitoB: three pings on 52 week lows $GIS $SJM $CPB... grocery aisle blues...thats with a can of soup near $3 and cereal at $5 (regular prices in my area)
  • traderbren: $GIS - to close the downside gap at 76.98 from 2/17
  • Auto: $GIS nice bowl daily long from way below
  • woodman: @mharps $KHC - Yes, the Packaged Food stocks are doing well. $CAG $K $GIS $BRBR $CPB $SJM $LW ...
  • Docoof: I didn’t post this over the weekend b/c of second thoughts on the weekly chart. But it could play out successfully and it can’t hurt to post a trade idea: $KHC 6-month high on 7/13 = 39.44. The horizontal resistance line drawn from here is where $KHC failed on 8/11 (39.33), 8/23 (39.01), 10/28 (39.05), 11/2 (39.04), 11/22 (39.06) and on Friday (39.18). $KHC is in an Industry Group where its peers have recently made, or are still making, new highs: $GIS, $CAG, $LW, $PEP, $LANC, $POST, $SJM, $CPB, $TWNK, and others. $KHC is right above all its MAs, but they are not in order. I assume there’s some reason why its underperforming, but it seems worth watching for a high volume move above 39.50. Closed Friday at 38.90. $KHC’s 1-yr high = 44.87.
  • Rockstar: ...
    I am long $KO,$KHC, and $PG stock and am selling both puts and calls against those positions. I also joined Dan in going long $U utilizing the same strategy. I am looking at $GIS as a possible addition to this strategy , but it too, is extended a ...
  • Docoof: @Kime $SJM $TWNK $CPB $PEP $K $GIS $POST $CAG My pleasure. (But a lot closer to a beginner than to an expert.)
  • Docoof: @Kime This kind of info is helpful in that it points to Industry Groups where one can perhaps find stocks with strong charts. For example, the companies that make/sell Jelly and Jams ($SJM), Twinkies ($TWNK), Campbell’s Soups ($CPB), Lay’s potato chips and Mountain Dew ($PEP), Corn Flakes ($K), Cheerios ($GIS), Raisin Bran ($POST) — these all made new highs on Friday and they’re all in the same Industry Group: Food-Packaged. This group is ranked 29 (out of 197) and maybe there’s something else in it that looks promising such as $CAG. $CAG makes Slim Jims, Orville Redenbacher popcorn, Vlassic pickles, etc. $CAG’s hod on Friday was 36.82, just short of its 4/21 1-yr high of 36.97. Maybe it’s ready to start making new highs. It’s on my watch list.
  • Kime: @Docoof $SJM $TWNK $CPB $PEP $K $GIS $POST $CAG Thank you for your time and expertise.
  • scottrades: $GIS Near the highs, in trend and earnings not till December.
  • thurford: @scottrades $GIS Is there still time for Gap and Crap??
  • thurford: $GIS. Gap and no apparent Crap.
  • scottrades: @thurford $GIS There's still time....LOL!!
  • traderbren: $GIS - potential short candidate as it bumped up against the 50d overhead. Set stop above the 50d. Decided on the cheap play via the Oct 75 put at 2.00 - instead of stock.
  • woodman: $XLP is where all the (a-hem) "excitement" is today. That's to say, it's green in a sea of red (other than bond funds). The following stocks within XLP are up 2% or more (or at least were when I looked a little while ago: $CPB $SJM $CLX $CHD $GIS $K $KMB $PM $KHC $WMT $CAG. ($TSN honorable mention.)
  • lanedra: @woodman $XLP $CPB $SJM $CLX $CHD $GIS $K $KMB $PM $KHC $WMT $CAG $TSN With regard to XLP, would you dare "nibble" in this overall market bloodbath?
  • woodman: @lanedra $XLP $CPB $SJM $CLX $CHD $GIS $K $KMB $PM $KHC $WMT $CAG $TSN - I'm not hungry. I'm essentially fully in cash and standing out of the way, except for short duration 3x ETF trades. That said, if you have strong hunger pangs, be sure to use stops/position size to protect. But I trust nothing here. These are major support levels that are failing. There will be sudden rebounds, but cash suits me right now.

  • champ: $KHC $K $GIS...HOD...these are 3 boring stocks.. that should beat on earnings....I #added a little more, 2 of these will be reporting earnings on 4/30, and if they have a huge surprise, the other one will have a real nice bounce, I will be holding positions into earnings, all should beat. Grocery stores are having a hard time keeping these products, in supply. Don't even have to look, just look at the charts, to see that type of News.
  • Tango: @champ $KHC $K $GIS #added agreed, $KHC is breaking 50 day ma
  • champ: @Tango $KHC $K $GIS #added....Traders will zig-zag these stocks, just like they do everything else and if they do, I will add, for sure and just wait to be rewarded.
  • champ: $KHC $GIS $K $HLR...all HOD ...looks all the Food stocks are up nicely, I'm guessing that I will be swinging these positions.
  • mopick: @champ $KHC $GIS $K $HLR, noticed that long-time bear, Doug Kass, has a big and growing position in $KHC. Like the chart, though volume here is light. Where would you put your stop??Tks, champ!
  • champ: @mopick $KHC $GIS $K $HLR ---- I'm really not using any stops, just News and Market alerts for now. I'm watching my positions...
  • champ: @mopick $KHC $GIS $K $HLR --- Every-time I go to the store, most all of these products are out.

  • Margi1983: @champ $KHC $GIS $K $HLR Kass maybe buying the divi as the weekly chart is a mess and the ATH of 95 ish was back in 2017. The 1 year daily high is only 13-15 % from today's 29.23 after a 45% retracement from the low of 19.99

  • coldevinc: @DAN $GIS there are a lot of us out there that do that.
  • CraigReynolds: @scottrades $GIS Someone just bought 2,000 March 20 call contracts in $GIS for 35 cents. Was that you?
  • Forexpro: @CraigReynolds $GIS Thanks, CraigReynolds, The strike on those was 60; the "20" refers to the year of expiry. If 20 calls were available for 0.35, I'd mortgage the house. :-) Hope you're faring well; all the best!
  • scottrades: @CraigReynolds $GIS Not me! Stock is reversing a bit here with non defensive sectors bouncing. One to keep an eye on. Good RS. Do they make Toilet Paper?? :) Back to the pool....
  • CraigReynolds: @CraigReynolds $GIS My bad $60 calls. My mind knows what I meant. Ha Ha.
  • scottrades: My notes for today: $SPY Late Day Rally. 7 points in 30 mins. $QQQ Ditto $GDX/$NUGT Vol. A Tile. $GLD Looks like an inverse H&S on the 15 min chart $BNTX Needs to build a base, but above the 50 Day. Alert at 41.40 $APRE Low Volume, but nice base just under the 50 Day. $DXCM Going the sideways. Alert at 293.50 $VSTM Biotech, risky, but good volume. $GIS Good weekly recovery. Alert at 55 $OBSV Wedbush has a 40 PT on this. Watch for a move above the 50 Day. $BEAM and IPO from the forum. Alert at 25 $SEDG Holding above the 8 Day. Watch above 139 Also a note that I'm away Monday and Tuesday.

  • scottrades: $GIS moving out of a base.
  • Bridget: $GIS is holding up really well in this market, consolidating near highs.
  • Sluggo: @Bridget $GIS My wife would love to have you say that. Still in consolidation but ready to break out.
  • Bridget: @Sluggo $GIS $CPB is another one in this sector in a tight squeeze looking close to breaking out.
  • Sluggo: @Bridget $GIS $CPB Nice, Bridget. I will scope it out tomorrow. You're my girl! You know your stuff.
  • Sluggo: @Bridget $GIS $CPB Say, let me give you another along the same lines. $PG is coming back after great E and has about the same dividend. At the 8MA and 20MA convergent. Need to see some volume here but should work in the current environment.
  • Bridget: Got a buy signal on $GIS this morning on a breakthrough the 21dMA. Stacked moving averages.
  • Sluggo: @Bridget $GIS Good call. My wife works for $GIS and she has plenty of it. She was the one that told me about $GO and gave me the skimmy on it. That appears to be working.
  • 1winkie: Zacks Investment Research bull of the day is $GIS, with the firm noting that sometimes boring is profitable for this Strong Buy rating. The firm’s Bear of the Day call was in $PBPB, noting that while sandwich shops were all the rave a few years ago its business seems to have gone stale.
  • phgruver: @1winkie $GIS $PBPB $GIS sold off, yesterday, on a downgrade by Goldman Saks. The divy is now above 4%. Packaged foods have been taking a beating, this year, but people continue to buy their products. This may be an entry, or add, for a long term account.

  • baronp0329: @DAN $PSX $MPC Dan, thanks again for reminding us about tight stops to preserve our capitals. Before I went to the gym, I set stops to preserve profits and most of them were hit. $GUSH (BTO 30.83 and STC $32.75, ), $OKTA (BTO 43.12 and STC $44), $MPC (BTO $79 and STC $81.23). my trading account has a nice profit today due to the Stops and OMM's $GILD puts, $NVDA BeCS, $GIS Puts, $JNJ BePS. Thanks Dan and @Bridget.
  • DAN: @baronp0329 $PSX $MPC $GUSH $OKTA $GILD $NVDA $GIS $JNJ Awesome! Really great to see that, baronp0329. Very volatile market, and lots of nervous money out there. Gotta protect your trading capital. If you don't, you'll eventually stop trading.
  • Forexpro: Re: $GIS

    Hi, Friends,

  • dcphinney: @phgruver $BGS $KHC $MDLZ $GIS $CPB Looks like another possible short squeeze for $BGS in the making. POSSIBLY. 50-day is nudging up towards 200-day. I'm keeping a tentative eye on it.
