where to buy UPS stock and have it deducted from check..

Netsua 3:16

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
Worst possible time to buy the stock...I was sure that it was done at 145 2 weeks ago...no way 156 is sustainable. The stop count and positive press is great and all but day to day operations is a huge mess (even by UPS standards). I could see it dunking for a while then shoot back up close to current levels around peak

Heads up, if you sign up now, you won’t actually get it deducted until the new cycle starts, which would be October 1st.

Every three months is the buy cycle 1/1 to 3/31, 4/1 to 6/30, 7/1 to 9/30, and 10/1 to 12/31. Our stock is bought at a 5% discount, has to be held for 18 months, and is bought at end of business day on the cycle end day. it’s not like robin hood Or etrade where you can buy and sell with ease.

The good news is that the deduction amount can be changed with ease. It tends to update within 10-14 days if needed.

I'm interested in buying UPS stock but I don't know where to start. I'd appreciate the help.
If you’re looking to have essentially a defacto savings account that pays dividends then the program is great. Other than that most financial advisors don’t recommend buying single stocks.

Plus, if you’re invested in the S&P 500 the you’re already investing in UPS (among others) so you’d essentially be “overlapping” investments. How that affects your overall portfolio would depend on how you invest and how much. And how much stock you choose to buy in the program.

If you’re planning on spending allot then you might be better off applying that money to your 401K or other existing investments. I actually like the idea of my discounted stock and dividends working as a savings account. Actually better than a savings account because the banks don’t pay :censored2:.

I buy stock as part of my investment strategy. When I look at the week to week numbers, UPS stock represents about 15% of what I am putting away. If you are working FT, taking out 20% for 401k and $40/week for stock is a reasonable mix.

Right now, UPS stock is at historic highs. The question is if that is sustainable. The small package pie is growing and UPS seems to be the best one to maintain their share of the pie. We are choking on it in places, but FE is choking in more places and right now, the USPS is choking everywhere. Hard to say if $150 is a new high or the new norm. UPS was stuck at $120 for a very long time, so this could be the new norm.
