Q: I love value, but if UPS were to be a value trap, how would stock price typically play out over time ?

Is UPS's dividend at risk?

How does UPS compare to others in the sector?

Is there a bull case for this stock, or do the risks weigh it down?

Q: I have a tax loss to harvest on FDX; would you recommend selling and buying XPO or UPS as replacements? Or just waiting 30 days to buy back. Or stay away from all after the tax loss harvest?

Q: Hi,
I've noticed what appears to be a large drop in both FDX and UPS stock today, but can't seem to find any news as to why. Maybe your sources reach farther than my searching the web? Thanks!
