[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 380129, member: 7966"] OK...reasonable advise to be careful. However, every company you provided as an example had P/E ratios above 50; some well above...UPS P/E is 14 - 16. Basically UPS is a Utility type stock paying dividends while the others [B]were[/B] high-growth technology type stocks that did not pay dividends. UPS is most likely settling in to a long-term P/E ratio in the 14 - 18 range. If our profits go down, so will the stock price. Bottom line - understand the basics of understanding company fundamentals and financials and if you don't have the time or desire to do that, buy index funds or low cost managed funds. And don't let any one company's stock represent more than 10% of your investments. I readjust my investments at least annually to maintain a balance. [/QUOTE]
