[QUOTE="FAVREFAN, post: 286438, member: 13078"] Notice day 1 in November of '99. I remember that day, it was $76 & 5/8 as I remember.(before decimal system) Today it is hmmmm....let's see....um....$68.01(No splits) Pick the right spots and you could make a few bucks here and there as you can see above. Get in and get out. But as far as long term? It's a safety play. It will not outperform the S & P 500. We all made alot of money on that day in Nov. '99.(If you were smart and bought in before) But look at it since. $68 is a great price to get in but not long term......I'd be out in the $75-$79 range. It may go to $90 but will eventually return to the upper $70's or low, low 80's. Dividend is 1% below inflation(3.5% inf. assumption over time) and if the stock goes nowhere you're losing money. Even with the 10% discount you could lose because the stock is down 12% from day 1. If you started right after 911 you have done better but let's not kid ourselves here people, don't be biased toward the company and mess up people's long term financial well being and tell co-workers to pour all of their savings into the stock.
