[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 193026, member: 1664"] Yes, your math is correct, but you forgot to include inflation in your equation. Jan. 2000, stock price was $70.74. May 2007 stock price is $70.74.(weird how that one worked out) The 5 dividends in 2000 equaled .85% return. Inflation rate in 2000 was 2.74%. You only lost 1.89%, due to inflation. The 5 dividends in 2007 will equal about 2.10%. Inflation rate in 2007 is projected to be 2.78%. You will only lose .68% this year. So, after 7 years the stock has not grown and the dividends have lost to inflation. The arithmatic is simple. If one wants growth and yield, UPS stock is not one to own. I truly wish it was.
