[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 54563"] It is normal for a stock price to drop when the company doesn't match or exceed expectations for the quarter. Especially when they have been on a roll. The weird reasoning given didn't help. If a company loses stock investor's trust it loses it's stock price. Especially after the Enron, Global Crossing, Worldcom, etc integrity failures. UPS does [b]NOT[/b] want to do anything to cause the investors to doubt UPS's word. While Southwest did make a profit, it was barely. All the rest, union and non-union lost varying degrees of money. So obviously union labor is not the inherent troubling factor to that industry. Sorry all you union haters. The industry is in trouble because there is far more supply than demand and the over-competition versus actual operating costs are setting prices. In the small package industry, DHL is causing an increase to the "supply" versus the "demand" and their artificial low rates at an operational loss to force their way into increased market share is causing UPS to raise rates less. Both of these will negatively effect UPS in the short term, but DHL still has to prove it can provide a good and consistent service or financial reality will balance the equation by eliminating them. The sky isn't falling. It's just raining. Brace up buckos. [/QUOTE]
