FedEx is looking for ways to reinvent itself. This gives me some hope.

We expect the stock to rally on the unexpected fuel surcharge announcement. Back of the envelope fuel surcharge could equate to 1 to 2 cents upside in the third quarter, 4 to 5 cents a share upside for the fourth quarter and 15 to 20 cents upside during 2001 if it were to remain in effect.

We've never seen a beast like UPS, ... It's best in class, six times bigger than its next largest competitor. They set pricing. They have best returns in the integrated (freight transportation) sector.

The earnings implications are probably immaterial, but perception of UPS as a new economy supply chain information provider is real.

If after the report on Wednesday investors believe that FedEx will be able to post double-digit (earnings per share) growth during the first half of the fiscal year 2001, we believe the stock should begin to act a bit better. If FedEx management guides the street downward, we believe the stock will be dead money for some time.
