Sounds right.
LOL I was looking at the same thing. Looks like we here at the cafe have correctly predicted 20 of the last 2 major announcements.Then again this isn't the first time we have seen a thread announcing a "Big Announcement" that ended up fizzling.

HAHAHAH.
remember, target zero only counts when you've entered the building.
Walking through the parking lot and walkway ice rink you're on your own.
I really doubt they'd go private, but why do you say that?
I remember the private days. It seemed it was easier to get things done and cost wasn't bird-dogged as much as it is now. It was still bird dogged but there were more events held. Now the only way to do something is to pair it up to benefit the united way.

Because I will have to find another place to make money...UPS stock has been a cash cow for years. 100 shares can easily make you at least $2000 a year.

My math could be wrong but in order for the above statement to be true:
$2000 divided by 4 (quarters in a year) equals $500 a quarter.
$500 divided by 100 shares equals $5 per share dividend per quarter.
this doesn't sound right but I could be wrong.

Quite simply, selling calls and puts. Collecting about $150 to $300 every month. (each put and call represents 100 shares) Selling a put (near the money) if I don't own the stock but don't mind if I do. And selling a call (near the money) if I own the stock.

Also, a "small amount" will be set aside for merit increases for specialist level employees (at least they are attempting to look out for the little guy.) I expect MIP and LTIP will be the next domino to fall for 2009.
Not sure where you got the information, but I know that my healthcare plan has changed: I'm paying roughly double a month what I paid last year with the exact same coverage plan.
Let's remember the union side has already sacrificed with significant lay-offs.
