Rendered before/after
I was in the Thrift Plan, I had unfortunately raided it a few times as a teenager to buy hot rod parts. It dissolved when UPS stock went public, I got 144 shares for $25 per share. That was half my Thrift Plan, the other half was used to buy mutual funds.
I ended up with 2,000 shares after the stock split----and a big boost to my retirement nest egg. If only we had been allowed to buy ups stock years ago we all could have retired as millionaires like many in management did after we went public. I sold all my shares when it hit like 82 bucks a share years ago. When we went public the next few years the stockwent up to like 80 bucks a share then fell back to like 47. I promiced myself that if it ever got to 80 again i would sell and that is what I did. Never regretted it. I own zero UPS shares now and consider myself lucky.
