Hi Jimi,

Well the price of corn and oats is a fraction of what it used to be.

I'm sure commodity input cost are a small fraction - but corn used to be 10-11 - now for over two years 350 - 400.

Eat more corn flakes - they're cheap <smile>

Bob

wow...GIS up over 5% today. Must be trading off of the Hershey deal speculation...

GIS has product in a lot more areas than cereals, but their gluten free cereals are really increasing in sales. GIS Latin American sales are growing very quickly, too.

If it pops again tomorrow, I might have to trim my holdings a bit....always a tough decision for me to sell a portion of winners.
