Over on CAPS, fully 67 of the 426 All-Star members who have rated UPS -- some 16% -- believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. Among the entire bearish population are stockfreak1 and stjolly777, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community.

Late last month, stockfreak1 wrote that the UPS bear case all boiled down to price:

UPS will be here forever. Their management is too too good. They pay their workers and employees well and they're not going down without waging all out war. However, bottom line... this stock is too rich for my blood.

In a pitch from two weeks ago, stjolly777 delivered a bearish package of his own:

Good company....expensive Stock! ... $2.50 for '09 would be a miracle at this point...and why pay 22x earnings in this market? ... At a price of $52 (today) this stock is certainly not a compelling buy. Even if the company beat its own forecast (something they have NOT done in 3 years...) they probably don't get $3/share in earning until 2011...at which point they MIGHT justify today's share price (assuming interest rates haven't gone up and caused multiple contraction across the entire stock market.)
