I follow the UPS stock chatter very closely on the Internet. It amazes me how people tend to always view FDX as some how better then UPS, but it's very nice to see what we all know and what history has shown in print on the net. Ive wondered at times if our stock is somehow punished by institutions, due to us only having a small percentage of our company available for outside ownership. I'm not always happy with what UPS implements but if my 30 dollars an hour depends on me being more productive or my day being more flexible, then I'll try my best, kicking and screaming if need be. For the record Kramer on MSNBC has always been a huge fan of UPS. Funny thing is that of all his reasons that he gives for us being a solid investment, he continuously brings up his opinion that UPS whipped the teamsters into check in this last contract. It appears that the union definitely gave up on some issues but perhaps the Teamsters see that they need UPS a heck of lot more then UPS needs the Teamsters. Anyhow I'm very confident in UPS and we all have our roles to play.
it's simple if you really break it down - FedEx is a marketing company and have great commercials. my friends who are not in shipping are always asking me why their commercials are so funny and ours are so dry.
most investors, especially ones that post on financial message boards have really no idea ( I am assuming thse are not major stakeholders in any company).
UPS is a high tech delivery company and we always take the high road.
cramer is very fairweather but has been pro-UPS at least the last year. I didnt see him on friday, I wonder if he had a response to our upbeat earnings information? Maybe Monday.
I got my step dad a Cramer bobble head doll, its hilarious. Yeah, skeeeee-daddy, booooya.
the booya is getting old really quickly.
