[QUOTE="Dfigtree, post: 163541, member: 5050"] [B]Today's UPS price change[/B]: [B]0.59[/B] [B] [COLOR=Black]Today's increase in dividend annualized for 2007 .16 ------------------------- ------------------------ ------- Net increase in value per share after 1 day including [/COLOR][/B][B]0.43 [COLOR=Black]annualized dividend increase I'd say the bad news outweighed the good news just for today. Buying back shares is meaningless. To buy back the shares, the company "gives" money to the shareholder it is buying the shares from. Now the company has more shares and less money. When a company such as UPS is cash rich, and UPS is cash rich, it can do three things with the money. 1) Invest the money in itself, like develop a new productivity system, say, PAS, or replacing old equipment (are there any DC8's left). 2) It can buy back shares. 3) It can pay out the cash as a dividend. It is my understanding that the BOD a couple of years ago was discussing a large one time dividend to reward the shareholders because there was so much cash on hand. Never happened, or more likely, it was a false rumor. UPS can raise the dividend .04 / quarter if wanted to for a long time. However, I suspect that more investments in itself , like PAS, are in the offing. May the Schwartz (not a person named Schwartz, Cheryl, but simply referring to my avatar), may the Schwartz resign.
