Does anyone purchase the UPS stock at a discount?

I think you should set up an appointment with an advisor Skippy.

I have a financial adviser-----do you?

I believe that you only get the 5% deduction if you do payroll withdrawal and not if you purchase it straight up. With the payroll deduction you get the 5% and it's paying a dividend of 2.60% which is not to bad but if you want to go with aggressive growth and a dividend apple is the way to go for the long term.

Once this temporary crisis in Iraq is over I think the market will start its rebound either next week or week after. Oil and bonds should go back down and other sectors should bounce back.

I am thinking of investing about 10,000 in the discounted employee stock option. I figure with the 5% discount I am already making money. I will talk to my financial planner but wanted to hear from my UPS brother and sisters also. Thanks!

Do you have a Roth IRA? The best way to buy AND HOLD UPS stock or any other individual stocks would be in a Roth IRA where YOU WILL AVOID ANY TAXES ON GAINS AND DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE. Buy $5500 in 2014 and buy $4500 in 2015.

The market is expensive right now and UPS is overpriced SO GET YOUR CASH ON THE SIDELINES IN A BROKERAGE POSITION READY TO BUY WHEN THE MARKET HAS A BIG CORRECTION.

You really don't need a financial planner if you are wiling to take the time to study and research how to invest your money. FIDELITY has great info on their website and if you are a Fidelity customer they will help you with investment advice.

UPS is a top rated long term DIVIDEND PAYING stock so BUY BUY BUY AND HOLD.

Buying stock in the company you work for is a terrible idea.
