[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1057493, member: 4886"] Go to [url=http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=UPS+Income+Statement&annual]UPS Income Statement | United Parcel Service, Inc. Com Stock - Yahoo! Finance[/url] Take UPS profit (Operating income) / Total Revenue = ~ 11% for last year. For Walmart they are at roughly 6%, with roughly 26.5 Billion in profit. [url=http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=WMT+Income+Statement&annual]WMT Income Statement | Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Common St Stock - Yahoo! Finance[/url] Also, usually there are differences in companies that sell items vs services. Since they can sell the same item (toasters for example) over and over from the same shelf space (No.. not the same toaster, just another toaster). Also, the profit numbers are before taxes and UPS paid just shy of 2 Billion on taxes on slightly more then 6 Billion in gross profit. I don't think there is any convincing someone who believes a company like UPS would lie on our results to the SEC. [/QUOTE]
