[QUOTE="brown metal coffin, post: 1455059, member: 38727"] There is another factor... Bill Ackman: [url]http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/07/13/does-bill-ackman-have-fedex-stock-in-his-sights.aspx[/url] I'll never forget when this happened. He speculated that he was looking at FedEx for one of his funds and the stock just shot up on his speculation. This article will say that it went up $6.00 that day but it kept going and going and going. Also every time that earnings come out they seem to jump big but when our earnings come out minimal movement and sometimes losses on that day even when we meet expectation. Illegal pharmaceutical shipments, laundering money, throwing tv's like frisbees, lowering expectations for the year, deciding first that they are going to charge by dim weight and still the stock goes up and wall st. doesn't bat an eyelash. They had just as much last minute trouble as we had last christmas but yet it was UPS that failed. Also last September they re-won the post office contract for them to haul the priority mail on the FedEx planes and have the right to have a drop box in front of every post office. Im not saying your wrong brownslave668 but there have been other factors. I watch it everyday and just scratch my head at it. Even their dividend is .46% [/QUOTE]
