[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 54579"] Yeah, amazing! Decades of increasing volume and profits and a slightly disappointing quarter and it's the union contract fault. What a load of . . . The Louisville problem was an act of God and UPS did not have to honor guarantees. So the Louisville episode was a headache, and I am sure a disappointment for customers involved, but not a major expense point for UPS. That we have lost short term volume to FedEx, possibly, and to DHL, certainly, but who knows about the future. Still, this little trip back to stock reality might be good for those who are putting too much of their investment money into the company they get their paycheck from as well. Basic investment strategy forewarns putting all your eggs in one basket. I know there will be many here who will pooh pooh such cautions. Just like the people of Worldcom, Enron, Global Crossing and many others who ignored such common sense because nothing could truly damage [b]their[/b] company. Sound familiar. I know, but really, NOT UPS. I certainly do not think so either and hope not as well, but I will not wager my financial future on it. I already have the pension fund and social security to disappoint me. [/QUOTE]
