UPS is a great stock buy, especially since we have discounted buying, but when my manager encouraged me to buy beyond what was given to me in MIP, i couldn't help think of Enron..

Not in this day.
I bought around $200k over the years but that was when we were private.
Did not buy any after going public.

It's just about diversification. When we were private, it was kind of a special case and being undiversified was sort of justified.
Now, I bought enough to get the extra month, and stopped. It was hard to turn down 5% discount, on the lowest day of the quarter, plus 3.5% at MIP time regardless of the MIP target. That's 8.5%+ before you even get a dividend or share appreciation. It's hard to argue against.

It was a much better buy when the discount was 10% off of the lowest price of the quarter.

I took a huge loss on Enron.
