[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 430129, member: 927"] Private stock is NOT subject to the same valuations as public stock. In the case of UPS, remember that when we were private we valued ourselve much cheaper than the market did. Only until the last couple of months did that change. As a private company we valued ourselves at a 12 to 14 PE. On the public market, we had been as high as 29 for a while but started settling at about 19. That's 50% higher than when we were private. This allowed us more leverage for acquiring companies. I don't know how often we actually used that stock. I heard that we did many times, but I don't really know. I'm not in favor of UPS being public, but it has NOTHING to do with the stock price. I think we would be about the same right now if we were private. P-Man [/QUOTE]
