I swear I don't understand why this company is such a darling on Wall Street. They miss their numbers but the stock climbs 1.6% while our stock shows a loss and the rest of the market takes a hit. What kind of weird voodoo do they have over their at Fred's office?

In my professional opinion it helped that the Fedex people didn't stutter, stammer, make up lame excuses, and then yell "look over there!" to try to distract us from their numbers.

CNBC said yesterday that FedEx low balled their numbers. (promised on the low end last quarter and expected better results later in the year) A comentator called it smoke and mirrors. We will see...FedEx still has a lower PE ratio (15.1)than UPS (17.6) though.

So, let me get this straight. Fedex's management managed expectations so they'd maximize value for the shareholders? Those bastards!
