		<description><![CDATA[As Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT) moves ahead with its spin-off plan, the company plans to slash the jobs of about 1,600 employees in North America in the year 2012. According to Kraft, the move was imperative for the smooth running of its businesses. The company also projects higher profits than its earlier forecast for the fiscal year 2011. Kraft had planned to spin-off its North American grocery business and split itself into two independent public companies in August 2011; a global snacks business and North American grocery business. It stated its intent to split into a high-growth global snacks business with estimated revenue of $32 billion and a high-margin North American grocery business with estimated revenue of $16 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 12/16/11 There will only be a handful of firms reporting next week as the third quarter reporting season is almost over. A total of just 34 firms are scheduled to report, including 13 of the S&#38;P 500. Most of the firms reporting have November fiscal period-ends, which means that they are reporting fourth quarter results. While few in number, some of the reports come from firms that are highly significant in that they will give clues to the overall direction of earnings in the fourth quarter. The firms reporting next week include: Bed Bath &#38; Beyond (BBBY), Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL), ConAgra (CAG), General Mills (GIS), Micron Technology (MU),  Nike (NKE) and Walgreens (WAG). There will, however, be plenty of economic data for the market to chew on. ]]></description>

(RAH), setting a deadline for the proposal, which was previously rejected by Ralcorp without a dialogue with ConAgra Foods, on August 12, 2011. ConAgra Foods has sent an ultimatum of a week’s time to Ralcorp Holdings for negotiating on its takeover proposal and thereby announced that it would withdraw its $5.2 billion offer for Ralcorp Holdings, unless the maker of Post cereal and store-brand foods enter negotiations by September 19, 2011. Anticipating Ralcorp’s focus on separating business, evident from continuous negotiation refusal, ConAgra sent a presentation to Ralcorp&#8217;s board of directors, emphasizing the value and certainty of the takeover proposal. Since March, Ralcorp has rejected several bids from ConAgra, including turning down ]]></description>

The weak growth picture emerging out of the Fed chief&#8217;s news conference and today&#8217;s Jobless Claims report will likely force stocks to give back the gains of the last few days. I discuss the disconcerting aspect of what the Fed chief said Wednesday below, but let&#8217;s look at this morning&#8217;s weaker than expected labor market report first. Jobless Claims increased 9 thousand to 429 thousand, while the four-week average remained unchanged at 426 thousand.

		<description><![CDATA[ConAgra Foods Inc. (CAG) posted an EPS of 47 cents in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with 39 cents in the year-ago quarter. The improvement is attributable to lower incentive compensation expense and recent share repurchases. The results missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 48 cents. For FY11, EPS was reported at $1.75, up from $1.74 in the previous year. Revenues Net revenues improved 5.3% from the year-earlier quarter to $3,210 million, primarily driven by increased revenues from the Commercial Foods segment. Reported revenue was also above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3,198 million. On a segmental basis, Commercial Foods segment increased 14.6%, led by improved volumes for Lamb Weston specialty potato products, and price increase due to higher input costs. Revenues from Consumer Food segment rose 0.6% ]]></description>
