Personally I'm not buying FedEx or any other stock, for that matter, right now. The market is down almost 40% this past year, and again, personally, I don't feel that the turnaround is right around the corner. So I'll continue to earn interest on my CD's and in Vanguard's Retirement Savings Trust, which is earning a cool 3.10% annualized rate of return. Eventually I'll move monies back into stocks, but for now, I'm just treading water. Of course, I'm not a spring chicken anymore (except in bed, or so my wife of 38 years tells me), so even when I move back into the market, it'll be in a fairly conservative position.

A word of advice: Index funds.... over time, almost no one beats the market, of which index funds are tied.
