This is why I bought Google stock at the IPO, and continued to work at UPS.
My strategy has paid off.
Google is diverse enough, and cash rich enough, to try and fail on "spot" projects.
It has been about a 400% return on investment, and has a great future growth forecast.
UPS is a rock steady milk cow that allows me to take/make their "stupid" money, and invest in future growth company's.
In a nutshell,
Google is seeking ways to expand and vanquish it's competitors.
The UPS brain trust thinking of cutting profit margin per pkg, to increase volume, by delivering to their competitor-(USPS)-, as a profitable economic business model, is only one symptom of UPS's collective ineptitude.
The greatest flaw of UPS is the mindset that technology can control the world around them, and the people that work for them.
Google adapts and plans.
UPS reacts based on past structure of how they want the world to be and calls it planning.
Google creates technology.
UPS uses technology to try and control.
That is the difference between the two, IMHO.
Spread your bets between the two.
