Generally a stock price is reflective of how investors feel about a company (are they competive, is there an upside, is their business model and leadership solid). Unfortunately UPS has had a poor performance record for years when compared to something like the S&P or some of our competition. The big investment firms like the dividends but are wary of the economic conditions outside the US and have heard the same old song and dance as to why our stock price has been so flat for so long. I personally am more concerned about the dividends then the actual stock price, but a underperforming price makes investment capital more expensive.
