not management's job..expecting the unexpected
Just curious for those of you "in the know".....is it normal for UPS insiders such as Michael Eskew, Kurt Kuehn, Alan Gershenhorn, and Christine Owens to sell this much UPS stock?
The simple answer is, Yes.
The complex answer is in the variables, of each, of the invested parties.
Tax liabilities, stock option dates, profit taking and balancing a diverse portfolio for maximum returns, ect.................................
This thread is nothing but people in the cheap seats looking down at the professionals on the playing field.

This, price is high and its a good idea to diversify.
expecting the unexpected
I've sold mine also.....what's wrong with buying low and selling high, I think the stock is currently a multi-year high (maybe 10 year high). I'd dump every available share
Sold most of what I had left just this morning. Hung onto my last 100 shares. Stupid as itYou will never go broke taking a profit!
Interesting analogy satellitedriver... so, am I to assume that you equate the "people in the cheap seats" as the hourly and the "professionals on the playing field" as management? If so, I would like to suggest the following analogy:
1) "The Professionals on the Playing Field" = The hourly (Feeder Drivers, Package Car Drivers, part-timers, etc.) that ACTUALLY play the game....day in and day out. The ones who actually incur physical injury from moving the "football" (packages) up and down the field while the "spectators", coaches, and owners sit on the sideline and watch the game being played.
2) "The People in the Cheap Seats" = The shareholders, the public, etc., who have an investment in the "game" but do nothing to physically participate in the game. The only possible loss they can incur is their monetary investment if for some reason team loses. (of course...they have the full right to criticize Owners, Coaches, and Players....)
3) "The Corporate Box Seats" = Scott Davis and other members of the Board Of Directors sit in these seats. They watch the "game" being played and have no idea what it actually takes to "play the game"....you know...pass, run, block, tackle, etc.. There job as proxy owners of the team, should be to hire coaches (Center Managers) that know how to coach the team to victory........INSTEAD.....THEY....The Board of Directors ALSO try and COACH the team from their Corporate Box Seats. OUR Board of Directors have relegated our "coaches" to "water-boys" over the past 10-15 years.
4) "The Water-boys" = As mentioned above (3), our lower management employees have been relegated to water-boys. With all the mis-use of telematics and instant reporting, Scott Davis and friends believe they can control (coach) what goes on in each center better than the people that are in that center, hub, etc.. Scott Davis and friends have lost complete touch with the human aspects of "playing the game". Scott Davis has no feeling for how low the employee morale is on our "TEAM".
Summary- Life and business does emulate the experiences we have in sports. IMHO, I believe that we have an relatively new "owner" (Scott Davis) of the team that has NO clue about the importance of "team morale". His accounting background has blinded him to the human aspects of this "game" we call the packages delivery business. The "Professionals" that play this game on a daily basis will only tolerate so much before they retaliate in any one of a number of ways. Unrealistic demands by the "owners" only results in the players asking for more pay and/or better contract language to protect their interests which includes the health and welfare of both them and their families. It is for these reasons that the "Players Union" was organized in the first place.
