[QUOTE="sox, post: 4570066, member: 24574"] Hi scratch, if I remember right we as drivers were offered the opportunity to buy the stock about 1995. When it went public about 2000 my wife and I had almost 2000 shares at $25 a share. Payroll deductions plus an inheritance we had invested. If you remember it split right before the public offering so we had 4000 shares at 12.50. That first day I believe it reached $70 a share. On paper we had made over 200,00 grand. A lot of managers and Supes retired shortly after. Price fluctuated after that. When we started selling when our kids were in college our cost basis was really low. So we took a bit of a tax hit. Most of those shares are gone but put to good use. I also picked the stock rollover when the thrift plan closed so Thursday was a great day anyway. It’s also the first of the month so if I check my bank the pension check should have hit. I maybe wrong on some of the facts but it’s how I recall it. [/QUOTE]
