Someone at work told me that there is a big acquisition announcement coming the week before the IPO. It's an Internet related company to add to the Internet presence of UPS.

Expect something big

What is the latest rumor on the MIP valuation and IPO date and price?

The figure I heard was 2.47. It was also said to have been 3.7 before the IRS ruling.

Then someone else said that the IRS ruling had no effect on MIP. 3.7 sounds good to me.

To good. "Something evil this way comes"...Its OPL that has me worried.

The number I keep hearing most often is 2.93.

Cheryl,

You mentioned glitches on the old message board, are they " Gremlins Living In The Computer Housing Every Session"

LOL, that sounds like the exact description for the little buggers. They're the nasty little creatures that ate all the posts on the previous board.

There is an operation in Asia that has been of interest to UPS. I haven't heard anything from inside UPS but I know that someone had talked with their management a year or so ago. They have existing air access to the area and would give us a great advantage in the Asian Pacific. The purchase of such a company would be pretty complicated and have lots of strings attached. It would be a tough deal to put together but we could form an alliance of some kind.

I've heard the 2.93 from several sources. I hope it's correct.

I posted the last message at 5:30 central time. The post states 4:30. What's the problem.

Well my friend, I'm on the west coast. The clock is set to California time.

Sorry for the confusion

You must be kidding if you think this guy has any other motive than to get back at the company that fired him.

Today, in SF area, I heard 2.9...I'll take the 3.7 though...

I'm from the East coast with roots in Metro NY. I hear from reliable sources that the IPO will be on the 10th and the MIP will be 2.93. I also would easily take the 3.7 and run!!!!!

If I hear anything I'll let you know. The guy that told me did not tell me that. We will all know soon enough.

Your kidding yourself if you think that those tactics aren't really used.

Which tactics are you referring to?

There seem to be lots of different strategies invloved here.

hearing a range of 2.77 to the same 2.93 here in
the Midwest. November 10 for the IPO at a price of
$41.50. Any talk of what's going to happen with
OPL. Some say it'll be dissolved and current OPL
shareowners will get new UPS shares. Seems like a
stretch, but if UPS has to absorb the excess value
income, shouldn't all of OPL end up in the balance
sheet? Just as

Well my two cents says 2.7 mip/ wishful but possible 2.93. Last hurray by the big brown cow may just give us an extrace 1.0 and say thanks to east the pain of the new incentive program.

See my post on Motley Fool, #3068.

I do the math there for the MIP....My guess is 2.65. I love the 2.93 or even the 3.7 but the numbers do not support a figure that high.

keep an eye om Tumbleweed

I heard it was gonna be TNT.
