I have been long CAG through most of this run and I remain bullish, but I am taking some profits today near the 2005 highs. I expect this area to offer resistance in the near term despite today's aggressive buying. I viewed this level as a significant target following the Ralcorp (RAH) announcement, and I will stick with my plan. A pullback in the coming weeks will work off some of the overbought condition. A key support level is the October highs just below $29.
