Verizon's probably a safe bet for steady growth and dividend income for now. However, I prefer to go with slightly more risky companies that will yield more money. I have a knack for choosing the right stocks, but I don't necessarily invest tons of money. Verizon's not in my portfolio right now, but neither are other companies like AT&T either. You're probably not making any mistakes putting some decent money into Verizon, but it's not for me.
I wonder what their price for Verizon's dividend stock costs since Warren Buffet has 11 million. I too would kill for his stock but I really would have to invest in the long run.
The link for the article is missing, is it not? Can't see it... Are there many stocks out there who paid dividents these days? I kind of thought this was a thing of the past sort of... What kind of volume of stocks must you have, in order to generate a solid dividend income?
Hilarious if you enjoy monopolies I guess. The two big guys already do the whole 'me too' pricing scheme with others piggybacking onto their lines. For those who remember the Big Bell though, that's the stuff of nightmares.
Have to say I have been very impressed with Verizon. It is a huge company that is still showing ways to innovate and grow.
Lots of companies still pay dividends. Some pay pretty damn big ones. You can use a good stock screener to find them. http://screen.morningstar.com/stockselector.html
Verizon is a good place to put your bets on. I love Verizon,they are the best mobile carrier. Though it is expensive, people are typically willing to pay for the premium service you get their. I am proud of Verizon and it's ability to change and make technology bigger and better.
I tend to be less of a fan of investing in larger companies because I feel like they are decent for small returns but if you are interested in a truly large and profitable return than investing in these smaller companies isn't really worth it or profitable. Personally I like investing in small - mid cap companies in order to try and receive maximum return vs. investing in large cap companies.
I like small and mid caps as well, but I'm also fond of larger caps if they're cheap and have good products & services, strong competitive advantages, are still growing rapidly, etc. They may soon be giving Netflix a little competition...
I like Verizon as a company but not so much as a stock. I just wish Sprint would pick up some ground and become a viable stock.
