[QUOTE="an anonymous guest, post: 431232"] Dfig: Since 1999 I have pondered this issue, and I have indeed done OK with UPS stock, diverisfying, getting my kids through school without loans (2 Casey Scholars, I might add) and I have come to the following conclusions: 1. To have more currency for acquisitions etc because in the 1999 heydey UPS was undervalued compared to the market. The acquisitions with this currency never occurred and we are buying back our currency now. Undervalued then was true, properly valued aorund $60 now is also true. 2. To be a far more visible player in the global market. 3. To encourage the dead wood that was laying around in 1999 to retire. 4. To leverage UPS' Brand and reputation more strongly. 5. To make money for shareholders based on what was known at the time. I made money for sure. But I retired in 2005. 6. To motivate everyone in the company to be 'on their toes' and to maximize competitiveness. I would never choose to go back private. Go UPS! P71 [/QUOTE]
