I am slowly adding $UPS due to it trading near a 10 year low right now. The high dividend, discounted price and insider buying are bullish indicators. Not to mention they also have over $4 billion cashflow. Aiming for $110 on my swing, but would love to add at a more discounted price if that occurs.
