Dueling Fools

Duel Flashback:
FDX

October 6, 1999

Does Federal Express parent company FDX <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: FDX)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: FDX)") end if %> provide six-month delivery? Well, we do! Back in March, Paul Larson (TMF Parlay) and Rick Aristotle Munarriz (TMF Edible) couldn't agree on the prospects for the courier specialist.

At the time, adjusted for a 2-for-1 split, the shares were fetching $48 3/4. Six months later they were trading 21% lower. Our Voting Fools sided, correctly, with the bear.

Victory? Rick Munarriz and our Voting Fools. Congrats!
