[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 102369, member: 2189"] UPS down to $73 area in premarket and FedEx taking a hit as well down from $110 to $106. Ground volume up 4.6%, International volume up 16.5%, export volume rose 6.5%, nondomestic volume up 23.6% Total Revenue topped estimates by $130 mil, Total Rev. per piece up 2.7%, earnings were $.97 verses $.88 same Q a year ago. [url=http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/newsanalysis/transportation/10299076.html?cm_ven=YAHOO&cm_cat=FREE&cm_ite=NA]UPS Comes Up Short[/url] I can remember a couple of years ago where numbers like this would have sent us soaring and we'd have giving anything for them. [B][I][U]I wonder what numbers like this would have done if our stock was still private? [/U][/I][/B] I've just not been convinced nearly 10 years later that going public was a good thing or even needed at all. Personally I really question the motives and maybe even the integrity of Mr. Kelly and the higher ups at the time who made and drove this decision. Conference call today will be interesting. UPS needs to learn from FedEx in how to sell themselves and still leave room in the box so that when you post it always can be sold as above what was expected. FedEx very good at this and my guess is they'll take a hit today but will be in position to sell itself for the longhaul and be back up in short order. [/QUOTE]
