People always forget there are other things to do with stock other than watch it grow or shrink. Can you say leverage? Options??

You can use the stock you have (without selling it) to make money. (Hypo)
I'm not a financial advisor, but not using your stock to make money is like storing your cash under your mattress.
I'm going to owe a quarter of a million in taxes this year......That's because of options and money made from them and it cost nothing to get them. Risk is involved, but due diligence becomes your hobby.
Be sure and ask a financial guy about options and how to leverage or hypo your stock. We're more aggressive and slowing down as we get older.
Hypo-ing stock got us downpayments for 13 rentals.....back when people put 20% down. They paid for themselves and doubled in value when it came time to sell them.
Doing options, somedays we can make $90,000 or $150,000 and it's usually involving Priceline and Amazon but it's UPS stock that enables us to do this.

you reinvest your divended, and if i sale it, i will owe taxes on it, but thats not for another 30 years

My point is that P/E is subjective and the fact that you think a stock like UPS is "ridiculously overpriced" because it's at or near an all time high is silly. The shipping world is changing and I guarantee you revenue will be up this year and the tax break will probably have them repurchasing stock. This is not a glamorous stock but it is consistent.
We're you the member who was bragging about shorting UPS a few months ago?

the tax cut alone is going to make ups stock go up and other stock

I said I would of shorted it and it did dive before it made this climb back up.
It's ridiculously overpriced because it's selling much higher than it normally does. Historically it sells at a P/E ratio of around 20. Now it's at 32. It's younger faster growing competition is only selling at 25 times earnings.
It is a consistent stock. I mean you're never gonna lose your ass on ups stock but it's not a big growth stock. It's just not. Revenue can be up all it wants. We aren't going to see 20-30% increases in earnings. It just isn't going to happen.
I'm not saying sell now because ups is bad stock. I'm saying if you've been looking for a point to sell. Sell now. We may not see another opportunity to sell at these levels for years.

Dude the tax cut has been priced into this market since almost this time last year.

What does that have to do with it already being priced into the market?
Jkloc420

it means that it is not all the way priced in

You obviously don't understand how the stock market works then.
Just because the tax cuts haven't taken effect doesn't meant they can't be priced in already.....they are already priced in plus some.

I’m not selling. It’s a gamble. I’ll cash out when I retire. Could make money or lose money. I’ll hope for the former
