UPS Stock is on the rise!

Say you invest $10,000 once you're down to $9,000 sell because you don't want to lose more than 10%.

I understood the math. I think 10% is too low of a threshold.

Yeah I agree just sharing the two rules of thumb I was always told.

when you have a 1000 shares the dividends are sweet.

I used to have 2000 shares but I sold them all because I was running out of places to bury my cans of money.

Even sweeter when you have 20,000 shares.

i started auto invest in UPS stock when it first was offered to us. started with $50 a week payroll deduction but quit doing so much when I realized it was too high a percentage to invest after the Enron disaster. so we scaled back.

but it is amazing how fast it accumulates even putting just 20 bucks a week in and reinvesting the dividends to buy additional stock. i still hide money all over the house in case the banks go bad. cash is king in the armageddon. ha.

Apparently a local elder like to hide his money also. The word around here is that when he died a couple of months ago his kids had a real treasure hunt on their hands tearing his house apart. They will never know if they got it all.

There was no way I could afford to or been willing to spend $700/share on any stock. I bought shortly after the 7:1 split. Transferred $50K from my 401K to my SMA and pulled the trigger.

As I recall, UPS was @ $25/share during the IPO but quickly doubled or tripled in value shortly thereafter.

This is not me bashing you but whether a stock is $700 a share or $7 a share, it doesn't matter because a 10% gain is the same either way.

It's already closed above $133. I think it will peak somewhere in the $140-150 range.

You ever pull the trigger on selling? That $133 looks like the top.

I take home roughly $800/week. Pretty hard to justify spending a week's take home for one share of stock.

My financial adviser has suggested that I hang on to my shares and to use their money (dividends) to buy more. Just picked up 4 more shares last week.

That's interesting considering its a company who's market share is dropping. Revenue is dropping. Profits are dropping. And generally hasn't had any true innovation in years.

It is a solid dividend stock.

He is thinking long term.

let's see......hmmm....when you have 76,000 shares and there's a dividend, you times the number of shares by the amount of the dividend and I get........

It's 2% I'd call that so so.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

It's closer to 3%. 78¢
