[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2732067, member: 58386"] Unlike yourself my modest portfolio does NOT evolve around one single stock issue. In fact your ignorant little world evolves around that one company and it's stock. Let me tell you a little story In 1997 Smith called Sullivan not the other way around. RPS was doing just fine and would still be doing so today but your hero desperate to get into the ground box business some way and unable to bear the start up costs offered Sullivan 2 billion in stock .That's right just stock . Didn't have the cash. Then 2008 rolls around, here comes the crash and despite the worst recession in 80 years Ground continued to grow and still managed to turn a 10% operating margin. You can brag about your stock price all you want but it's events such as this which neither you or I have any control over which dictates the price of this and any stock for that matter. And I would love to see what your precious stock would be worth today if Sullivan had turned down Smith's unsolicited that's right unsolicited offer. And oh by the way simply because you lack the brain activity to understand the numbers I place in front of you doesn't necessarily make it ....."mumble jumble". Surprising that you would describe it as such given your superior investment knowledge and success. [/QUOTE]
