People need to eat to exist.

This is more a bet on the S&P 500 lagging General Mills' relatively steady rise. The index is likely to see some significant sell off days, while GIS will probably see a slow steady rise in its stock price. The 5 year time frame is just to maximize the probability that this will be correct.
