Only surprise for me was greater buybacks. All three sectors of the business met or exceeded expectations.

It's basically means that the numbers that the company set forth as a goal and the investors set as an expectation were very close. The company had better overall revenue and profit this quarter and it's growth is promising going forward. The stock price doesn't reflect a positive because of future headwinds and uncertainties. Investors can weigh a stock down or prop it up based on options and futures, so don't put a lot of thought on where it ends today.

Why are you so hung up on stock price from a company as dirty as ups? Pole dancing revenue down?

The stock market is a forward looking entity. Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.
Look at the retailer stocks yesterday they got crushed. Walmart was down about 8%

Walmart doesn't report until August 16th, so why the news release? Then, to find out a very large July 29th put option was purchased in the same hour as the release. The average investor doesn't stand a chance. I hope UPS goes to $165 so I can cash in.
Who knows where anything is going right now

I generally have 70-80 long positions across all 11 sectors of the market. I protect those positions weekly with options. I rarely hold short positions and try to capture 6-9% stock moves on 1% premiums. I'm never greedy or chase a loss, I'm willing to win the marathon 3% at a time.
The best of luck to you my friend.
