FEDEX: We aren't afraid of AmazonFedEx addressed concerns around Amazon's growing shipping ambitions, stressing that it doesn't see the e-commerce giant as a threat. You should be. They can easily use their huge cash flow and the billions of packages they won’t be delivering through FedEx or UPS to under cut your prices and piggyback their logistics to match your performance. As soon as Amazon decides to cut you out, you’re toast. And apparently you just cut your forecast growth and tabled your stock. Good. You have a great co & do a great job. I bet your employees don't have to be on food stamps while you get tax abatements.
