FedEx Falls After Profit Forecast Trails Estimates - Bloomberg
FedEx Corp. fell in New York trading after the second-largest U.S. package-shipping company forecast a quarterly profit that trailed analysts’ estimates amid an “extremely difficult” economy.

And as usual they didn't fall very far. Why does it seem that still, whenever they report non-stellar numbers they get ignored and good numbers they soar. At the same time UPS stock takes a similar hit (because its the economy stupid) but never goes up when they go up. It just isn't right. What do they have to report that will make the investing market realize that they just are running on all cylinders?
