[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1104482, member: 31414"] Hoaxster, thank you for the additional insight into UPS stock. Could you explain your comment "That's the real action in UPS stock and it would have happened regardless of going public or not". From the best of my recollection, UPS stock was valued around $25 per share before the IPO. Do you really believe that there would have been the same number of UPS multi-millionaires without going public? Right before the IPO....the UPS management I knew were racing to invest their 401k's into buying UPS stock (something that we hourly were prohibited from doing). Also, management hypothecation loans were at an all time high. This was around the same time that we hourly were forced to sell our Thrift Plan investments (which we later discovered was actually UPS stock). Basically.....we hourly were forced to sell LOW....and buy at twice the amount that we sold for following the IPO. Hardly what I think of as being a "partner" in the company. UPS stock and money from profits seems to be one of the few materials that defies "gravity".......... [COLOR=#0000ff]I believe that this "Trickle Down" place people talk about must be somewhere in Australia....or China.......(Blue Font)[/COLOR] Oh well.....those "Good Old Days" of new management becoming multi-millionaires is over...... that is of course unless they buy a winning lottery ticket. As a side note.....interesting Insider Trading the past few months.... Sells out numbering Buys....not too difficult to figure out why???
