Either way, presently FDX has very little exposure to Amazon, ups does. Almost every business venture Fred and Jeff have put their hands on turned into a success story. On the other hand, big brown has been "excelling" at shrinking the operation into oblivion for the short term payoffs and dividends.
We'll see what the future holds.. :-/
