VZ

TACO_Orange_3098

from what i have read, the oil VZ pumps is heavy sour crude and it is not ideal for car gas usage .... but since the EPA is no longer caring , i am not sure exactly what to tell you ........ i guess buy O2 tanks in case you need to breathe ..... this is the Gemini answer : In summary, Venezuelan oil is usable for U.S. cars only after complex, intensive refining, and it is generally considered "dirty" oil that requires significant, costly processing compared to lighter, sweeter alternatives

pmotiveforce

It's all kind of obvious in hindsight if you assume 🥭is a literal moron. First, he wants to attack Iran. Decides to last year. But oil. And markets. Hmm.. OK, I need oil. I will get it from Venezuela. Two birds one stone. Let's do it on a weekend, market won't react much. OK, turns out I can't just get all the oil I want immediately from VZ. Oh well. I'm sure it'll all work out, fuck it let's do another weekend thing.

If you want to diversify from a HYSA, then yes a cash brokerage is an option. Depending on the state you file taxes a muni bond ETF or mutual fund is a good option. A broad market mutual fund or ETF is also good. Then I'd look at the large cap dividend company stocks like PFE, GIS, VZ, T. Buy 5 shares a week. Collect all the S&P100 or 500 or 1000! Ok maybe that's ludacris. But you get the idea.

Verizon employee RSU vesting date 3/1/2026, first payout is 3/10/2026 Last year, stock price dropped 10% on first payout day. Historically since Verizon's "Stock Together' initiative was introduced in 2020, every mid March, VZ has a giant red candle drop (usually between March 10 and March 18) Of course it could be coincidental... But I doubt it.

!banbet VZ -10% 3/20/26

dhx020

I'll give you guys free advice. Hold a short position in VZ for next week. Just trust me.

frankslastdoughnut

yeah. It's a pre revenue tech company that just got full EPA approval (EU and UK as well) to sell a nano wonder material. If you are looking for established revenue, this probably isn't the play for you sugar plum. Go buy VISA or VZ or some shit.

kool_mandate

lol into PG , KO, , LLY, MCD, VZ, GIS This is textbook It’s basically automated , triggered panic selling in best of class growth companies into value. But once pessimism is baked in, the panic buying back in will follow, and no one will give you a heads up “it’s time to buy CRWD again “ first Because the same people having to answer to angry clients about capital preservation are the same people that lose angry clients if they underperform This is where retail can have an edge

buppiejc

It made a doji on Friday. It’s also a defense stock, like VZ, DG, and LMT as examples.

Outrageous_Tip_2133

or an entire sector gets repriced (P/E gets compressed) like AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) did during the dot com crash.

ETFBro4DaWinz

PYPL like VZ a few weeks ago were ultimate retail bets. Big companies, solid income and a new CEO incoming. Instead guys on three digit ports chase Musk & co

ETFBro4DaWinz

A company like PYPL at these prices and new CEO incoming, like VZ a few months ago. These are the perfect set ups for retail. Just dont hold for too long or cheap call a few months out. No brainer tbh

drew-gen-x

And in fairness, Microsoft and the other software companies they may 1. Not lose any pricing power. They somehow convince companies to pay the same subscriber total USD amount per business vs per end user. 2. Still be relevant just like AT&T and Verison, but their pricing power is gone so their valuation are repriced much lower like $T and $VZ. 3. We go back to 2022 and AI is not the game changer the market things it is. In this case this is a generational BTD for $MSFT and $IGV stocks. But it is a risk that COULD burn many here they don't diversify out of $IGV and $QQQ.

Distinct-Race-2471

I say he should bet the whole $14 on VZ options

askepticoptimist

I'm up quite a bit, mainly caus undervalued non-tech stocks are finally having their day. Make a ton on things like UPS, VZ, DOW, etc. With a hefty dividend to boot. You need to diversify more. And don't buy overpriced tech stocks when they're...overpriced. I will note I'm using the SaaS selloff to load up on things like MSFT right now though. Just buy low, sell high. If you're buying high, you're doing it wrong.

#TLDR --- Ticker: VZ Direction: Unknown Prognosis: [deleted] Status: OP ghosted us before we could lose money

rueggy

I’ve held VZ for almost two decades. I always liked the dividend but the share price appreciation has been poor. At one point a couple years ago it had fallen all the way back down to near my buy price.

Armadillo_235

The test may be accurate, but dividends are suddenly ack in vogue. Look at what has been happening with VZ and T in the last month. Dividends are factored into options prices.

Maximum-Side-9391

Walmart will be more volatile I own VZ options long not sure what you bought in at but not selling them atm.

gavphein

Also hopped in on a VZ $48.5 call until 2/20… Friday didn’t look the best but hoping it gets to $49.5. By eow

Origania

ASTS really rented out to VZ and T?

Th3_Curious_one

Good News and momentum. I noticed that for the past couple of weeks VZ, WMT, & O were heavily in the news with big bullish activity. So I decided to buy calls so that I could catch & join the movement.

Faultyassasin18

Hey everyone, i've been really kicking around two different investment strategies for the next 20 years to build wealth and create passive income, and wanted some input on both- an initial $10k investment in high dividend stocks (either VZ or GAIN) and then DRIPing and a constant $500 a month investment vs a diversified ETF Strategy with the same initial investment and monty contribution. The strategy would be 60% VTI, 30% VOO, and 10% VUG. To offset the dividend income gap, i'd switch that over to 50% SCHD and 50% JEPI towards the last few years. I have a high risk tolerance, which is why I don't mind putting it all in a single stock vs diversification. All this to say: which have you seen be more successful- Dividend investing or ETFs for long term wealth?

EveryoneCanWin

I have XOM, CVX, ORCL, MSFT, NET, VZ, WMT, COST and a lot of silver and gold.

Rare-ish_Birb

Love Scotty-boy, and my poots are VZ 50pz

rcantu314

On the real, people are flocking to old reliable dividend stocks like T VZ and JNJ

fog_rolls_in

VZ is the new GLD

ETFBro4DaWinz

Cash gang just watching on sidelines thinkingbthey are smart getting beaten by guy with like 5% VZ

Humble_Explanation32

VZ in 3 year highs, rotation to defensive?

cbusoh66

I posted this [exactly one year ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/s/fZHJmGESDN): >ASTS needs several billion dollars to build its satellites, they have $500 million after diluting their shareholders few months ago. They will need to dilute continually, this is a very capital-intensive business. They will either declare bankruptcy or become one of those wannabe TV satellite companies barely limping by as T and VZ collect any minuscule revenue. They will not survive against Musk's Starlink, no matter what the cult tells you about their superior "tech" >https://www.fierce-network.com/wireless/can-direct-cell-satellite-services-make-money They have raised 3 times more since then, and managed to launch a grand total of, wait for it, 1 satellite since that post. Fucking 1 single satellite. They promise 60 by end of 2026 and 248 for full service. The greatest corporate grift in history.

Rare-ish_Birb

GS, CAT and VZ the new kids on the DJIA block soaking up the capital leaving MSFT, AMZN and UNH.

AnotherPassword239

MRK, PFE, XOM, MSFT, VZ Hopefully SPXC but need to add some more

rit3000

Any thoughts on VZ with current senate hearing and potential for public sentiment along with fines?

Anxious_Cheetah5589

Probably true in mega cap tech. Stodgy dividend payers have done very well lately (PFE, CAT, JNJ, WMT, MRK, VZ, etc). It feels like a collapse if you're overweight tech, but it's really just a healthy rotation.

Brodiesattva

Well, I don't buy individual equities for stocks that I won't use, I just dropped VZ and have had nothing but trouble in the past year. You can look at r/verizon and check out all of the negative posts, (mine included) so no, I don't expect VZ to be a winning stock in the near future. Until they clean up their support and billing act they will continue to lose market share and earn the same reputation as AT&T. As another rule (besides the if I won't use them, I won't buy them) there is the "you can't lay off to profitability" Not saying that it can't be done but the layoffs at VZ were done poorly and the replacement services that they got 'at a bargain' are 'you get what you pay for'

ArtisticFrame5790

Dole and VZ were my only green stocks last couple days. Today they were red when I last checked while everything else was green. In hindsight I should have questioned them starting to go up before the last two days

StockCasinoMember

Majority going into SPY/VOO. TQQQ secondary. Gonna let all of the individual stocks get hammered more before I start buying them. All the individual stocks that I was buying over the last few months are all up now and I’ve started selling them. XOM, VZ, KO etc..

famguy31

VZ is good ( I went with T just cause that’s who I use. (It’s had a good 10% pop) )

thedailymoo23

VZ

Consistent_Rule101

Because VZ,WMT,T ,KR , XOM don't go down like this.

No_Cow_8702

Pepsi, Phillip Morris, T, VZ, and utility stonks

CouchPotatoFamine

As a long time holder in UPS, VZ and KO, I thank you for your sacrifice.

StockCasinoMember

Long term DCA, swing trades, and day trading is where it is at. Last few months I was buying O, VZ, KO, XOM, T, and others when those were getting bitch smacked. Now I’m slowly selling those. Now I am going to continue to DCA into SPY/VOO mainly and slow DCA into TQQQ. I bought some bitcoin and Mara today for long term hold. Could care less what the market does. I’ll continue to DCA daily.

HedgehogGood7411

VZ up after hours. "Can you hear me now" -damn good campaign ad

Feisty-Hat2629

Was almost going to sell my VZ. Bought it a couple of years ago just for the dividend. Was happy with a 10% price appreciation and then watched it drop to level from initial purchase. Glad I hung on to it.

Hopeful-Frosting7976

Everything tech. In the past few days, I have had VZ and then BMY rocket up on beats. For now, value and income are having a few days of a moment.

Excellent_Jeweler_43

It is all about rotation imo. Stocks like VZ, UPS, PM, O, BATS and so on got ridiculously cheap around the AI craze. Now we will see a move the other way around when people start selling off tech stocks to move to boring stocks. Then you move in to tech stocks and so on, it’s literally running against the herd kind of thing.

Excellent_Jeweler_43

There is one value investing sub on reddit, told them I am buying Verizon a while ago and got downvoted to fuck, have no intention to go there again. People here are losing their shit, while my BATS, PM, VZ and UL have been doing great

flatfisher

1W change for VZ is +20%, PEP +12%, AAPL +10%, WMT 9%, etc. SPY 1W change is down only 2%. What is melting is what Redditors are over exposed to: Software, AI, precious metals and cryptos.

Large_Black_Sloppy_D

This is the great, BRIEF, roll into old people stocks. Traditional, dividend IRAs stocks > BS speculative tickers still in need of monster corrections, like OKLO (Buy... VZ PG DOW NEE ...etc.)

negronium_ions

Aren't those bands owned by ASTS partners (ATT/VZ) and not by Tmobile?

Extension_Dog_8511

Rotated into Dividend stocks the week before Christmas. CAG, KHC, VZ and NOG have made me MONEY while y'all's bag of chips gets rekt.

Rare-ish_Birb

VZ then? 😜

Independent_Wind1270

VZ for the win

Independent_Wind1270

VZ and T. All day. Calls are so cheap

Independent_Wind1270

Lumen is in the mix too for sure. They're not profitable though and could be a takeover target with a small market cap. People are also underestimating the data needs that consumer households will need for AI. The last mile so to speak. That's where T and VZ differ from Lumen

Independent_Wind1270

Telco Boomer stocks are the next AI play. Need fiber to transmit all the data. ATT and Verizon are expanding this year. Buying leaps for T and VZ. Verizon alone at a 13x PE is $65 - almost 50% upside just buying shares. Easy value

MagicJuggler

EMR Electric up 3.5% after earnings. KO at an all-time high. VZ is soaring. ...is 2026 going to be the year of the Boomer stock?

Aggravating_Sir_4709

means nothing. Every company does weird sh\*t before earnings. VZ a perfect example.

Humble_Explanation32

big rotation into defensive stocks. VZ, PG, WMT, some sh1t is cooking right now

mixtape312

WMT, VZ, PG, green dildo candles

macvelli

Eh VZ still owns 10%

No_Cow_8702

Consumer defensive and standard utilities. Think $PM, $T, $VZ, $DUK

Jumpy_Nose863

I recently sold some for VZ earnings once again for the huge yield and it just jumped 12% in a day. It's a rotation out of the high flyers and a show me the money market. Adjust accordingly! My next pick is Couche tard to jump 5%+ in the next couple weeks its ticker is anctf.

ReversePettlngZoo

I went with $VZ but with the same concept in mind. Flight to safety

spartanburt

With earnings the other day I'm finally looking at maybe unloading VZ bags from 2021.  Lots of averaging down, reinvesting dividends and covered calls in the meantime.

SaltyPlantain1503

My VZ $40 calls printed today. Was about the only green in my port.

ArtisticFrame5790

Ya I’ve held VZ for like 15 years. Probably the most I’ve ever seen it move.

Scr3aming3agl3

So glad I doubled my stake in VZ last week!

XorAndNot

held VZ for a year, thought, "this shit can't go anywhere", and ofc it jumps.

sleepyguy007

i've been trading for 25 years on and off. margined my port bought VZ yesterday. thought it'd sell off after the open like i've had happen before and sold in pre market. its up twice as much now. I'm mad at myself and made like 13%. the lesson probably is calls and wait till the degen rush not margin and be a chicken

Gajax

VZ is up 9% looks kind of spic... NEVER AGAIN WILL I TOUCH THAT SHIT!

oldbeancam

Thank god I had WMT & VZ calls ^^(I also have SOFI and AAPL calls so no money made)

Humble_Explanation32

VZ straight line up

Humble_Explanation32

tf VZ

Cav829

I might have to turn in to watch Cramer eat so much crow about VZ today.

ETFBro4DaWinz

That guy fullported VZ making a killing

d33p7r0ubl3

Dang. I was thinking about adding VZ to the retirement account. Shoulda pulled the trigger last week

buppiejc

- T - VZ - DLTR - LMT - DUK None will go bankrupt in your life time. All are defensive stocks, so they’ll typically move when SPY retreats. All pay a dividend. So, hold those, and gamble with the rest if you want.

Bronkko

VZ up 2%

CitizenLohaRune

It is amazing how after all the trump bluster and pomp about being in control of the China relationship, and talk of China begging him over the phone, and attacking VZ and stuff, that China just calmy announced: ok, gold and silver no longer leaves our country. And now, we buy gold and silver at a premium over western spot price. No direct retaliations, no vitriol, they just shrugged and quietly lined up the final nail in the USD coffin. You gotta hand it to them.

buppiejc

Bro, you can just look to see if defensive stocks are running, that’s usually an indicator of a short term pullback at least. Also, stocks in XLE, XLI, and XLU start running. TLDR: If XLI, XLU, and XLE are green premarket. That’s bearish. Defensive Stocks (not a comprehensive list, do your own DD, I’m not your uncle) - PM - PG - PEP - T - DG - VZ -KO -LMT 👍🏾

MagicJuggler

See how Corning does tomorrow, and see if it's worth scalping a CSP. I reloaded my VZ csp today after the morning dump, so let's see how that plays out.

MagicJuggler

I fired off another CC on my TLT shares. Watching to see what the FOMC does. Also, going to do some dip hunting in any small/midcap companies. I made back half the premium of the VZ CSP I sold on friday, so I'm looking for something else in that price range.

_hiddenscout

Kind of sounds like picking up pennies in front of a steam roller. For one, you will need to pay dividends on the taxes, unless you put in an IRA, which then you are still limited to like 7K. Also depending on your state, you might have to pay taxes on the dividend as well. Also factor in, higher yielding stocks tend not to perform as well, like VZ is down \~2% over the past year. What if something bad happens, where it comes time, the stock nose dives and is down like 20% by the time you are ready sell. It's your money, do what you want, but it feels like you are taking on a lot of risk for very little reward.

SavingsMean1840

That’s the million-dollar question. Transitioning from 'farming' a range to timing a directional swing is the holy grail for premium sellers. For a 'bond proxy' like VZ, it usually stays flat until the market's perception of yield vs. risk shifts. If you want to catch that 3x profit on a debit spread, here is what I usually look for: The Volatility Squeeze: I watch Bollinger Band Width. When they get exceptionally tight, VZ is 'coiling.' It doesn't tell you direction, but it tells you a breakout is coming. 10-Year Treasury Correlation: VZ moves inversely to the 10Y Treasury Yield. If you see the TNX (yields) starting to soften, VZ almost always catches a bid a few days later. Options Skew: Check if OTM calls are getting more expensive relative to puts. If the 'big money' is hedging for upside, the move is already brewing under the surface. To be honest, I got tired of trying to eyeball these shifts across my watchlist, so I actually ended up coding my own scripts to flag when these 'flat' stocks are showing unusual institutional accumulation. It’s been a game-changer for moving from spreads to directional plays without getting chopped up. How long of a window are you usually looking at for your trades? A week out, or further?"

vrtra_theory

How about VZ? A mostly flat, very stable dividend stock that I routinely farm for options premiums; I have done OK with call credit spreads and put credit spreads and even put calendar spreads. But, if I could realistically predict upcoming week(s) of actual price movement -- a few bucks up or down -- then I could write debit spreads which are 3x more profitable. Any tips on predicting an actual price movement instead of just "stays mostly flat"?

iDahves

My VZ callssssss

iDahves

Full port VZ $40c

Why’s VZ mooning

TurbulentProfit4204

I have VZ. I like the dividends but premiums on options are horrible. If you are investing great, trading?- not the most exciting.

0o0o0o0o0o0z

> Is the president of the US actually memeing about invading an ally? Is this real? Should see the other meme with all of NA and VZ covered in the American flag. Guy's on a roll lately...

Vind2

Cash flow is a function of revenue. I’m skeptical of ASTS’s ability to grow revenue beyond a couple of billion. ATT & VZ have excellent coverage where 99% paying customers are. Are people going to pay up for something they don’t use or need?

IDrinkSulfuricAcid

Why would you ever buy TMUS over T or hell even VZ.

JonPoopcock

Is this trade any good? VZ $39.5, 01/23/2026

edgar_de_eggtard

VZ & AT&T only deal in the States AST serves globally AST is also a defense contractor now apparently

Vind2

$200 ASTS implies a nearly $80B valuation - just about half of VZ or AT&T. Gonna need to sell a lot of cell service to squirrels to justify that price

AliceVirgin

I am just getting into investing in the market. I plan to hold all these positions long term and I will try my best too keep investing regularly year after year for the next 20-30 years. Here they are: ETF: QQQM 50% Individual: BRK.B 15% V 10% VZ 7% UPS 8% VICI 5% MPLX 5% I’d like to hear your thoughts on how this looks. I’m open to suggestions.

"Small dogs of the dow" .... Currently KO VZ PG NKE MRK. Dogs of the Dow are the 10 highest yielding stocks in the Dow. Small dogs are the 5 lowest priced of those 10. Big, liquid, well known, well understood, predictable. Sometimes they blow up, but very rarely.
