[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 56612"] I withdrew from payroll deduction several years ago and rolled all my A shares to B shares for many reasons but one reason was to be able to react quicker in case there was a problem. UPS does have a history of good business practices that promotes being a safe investment but history is just that. It's history and doesn't guarantee the future so even though the 10% reduction is a good deal this 2 year window forbidding selling IMO is just not worth the risk. I'm also not confident in UPS management right now nor in the nearterm future. We are stuck on chasing numbers rather than servicing customers and building relationships that promote good business growth. How can we plan for the future when we have no relationship with the customer to understand their present and future and thus we aren't in a position to capitalize of their needs? Drivers are first link in this process and aren't being used effectively IMHO in this regard. So far since it's public offering UPS stock hasn't gained and maintained longterm momentum. It'll will jump up ahead of itself from time to time only to fall back and there are some opportunities of buying and selling on the open market to capitalize on the up and downswings to make a little money and over time use the gains to add more stock that in the payroll deduction would never happen. I believe the 10% reduction doesn't present a good enough opportunity to overshadow buying and selling on the trends of this stock. The ugly truth no one dare speak is that even FedEx in the same timespan UPS has been public has really been from an investors point of view a much much better buy and yes I bought some of that too!
