[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3851872, member: 24302"] In order for Bezos to buy Ground FedEx would have to peel it off as a separate company with it's own stock. Otherwise he'd have to buy the whole company which would require a heck of a lot of money to buy enough stock to have a controlling interest. The FedEx board of directors has a fiduciary responsibility to it's stock holders to get the best price possible for their stock, assuming they are even contemplating such a sale. The day may come that the board may see that FedEx is no longer a viable operation due to competitors and their innovations(think Sears), but that's a long ways away. And as was pointed out, if FedEx was to ever break up the company into separate entities, Ground being the most profitable wouldn't be the one they'd want to get rid of. [/QUOTE]
