Why UPS shares could deliver for your portfolio - CBS News

]What's been lifting stock prices this year? Thanks primarily go to improving market fundamentals, including still-low interest rates, minimal inflation, declining unemployment, rising GDP, and strengthening global economic growth. Added to these positives is the perception on Wall Street that tax cuts are coming.

However, that's also one of the potential problems that could upset this market: What if the Trump administration fails to make any headway on its version of tax reform? It wouldn't be the first plank of the president's platform to go nowhere in Congress. So for investors, owning shares of companies that are not only fundamentally sound but also "politics-proof" would help protect their portfolios.

One such company that has attracted many investors of late is United Parcel Service (UPS), the world's largest express and package delivery company, which is considered a major play on continued U.S. economic growth. In particular, it's likely to be a big beneficiary of the huge rise in e-commerce.
