Sell 10 September 19 $168 strike calls for $11.65 each. This will immediately give you $11,650 that you can use to buy some value stock. Buy for instance 277 VZ. If NVDA is above $168 on September 19, you will sell 1,000 NVDA for a total of 168,000 that you can use to invest in SPY or something. If NVDA is below $168 on September 19, you can sell another 10 calls and invest in value stocks again
Verizon/VZ. 6+% yield. Stuck in the $40-44 range, which is beautiful for selling strangles.
I just posted this to an above comment but should be relevant to what you’re asking! 10x is on the low end of what’s possible. You’re comparing 1 US based fiber provider (probably not even a good comparable) to a global satellite network provider. Not only does ASTS have contracts with the US’s top 2 telecom providers (ATT and VZ - IE 70% of the market) that is just 1 country. They’re a GLOBAL provider. So each country will most likely have one MNO signed up with ASTS. Each country will have wildly different MNO subscriber counts, ARPU (avg revenue per user), and adoption rates and we’ll just have to see how that plays out but being in the telecom industry for 20 yrs I can tell you… build it and they will come. All of the future revenue estimates are on the very conservative side and they still blow it out of the water. And thats just the cellular/MNO side of the business. https://www.statista.com/statistics/738977/worldwide-monthly-data-traffic-per-smartphone/ Then there’s the DoD (Golden Dome + OPS communications) and Firstnet (government funded) portions as well as the IoT sector (think self driving cars or delivery drones needing an “always on” connection/network). Once you have an “always on” broadband network it can open up so many possibilities. In some countries this may be the only option for connectivity. It will open up mobile banking, regional trade, online education, and so much more to areas of the world this was never possible or prohibited (think 1 online cafe for a whole village or town). Once the first constellation is up (providing low band spectrum - 850 MHz in the US with ATT/VZ) then the midland (see Ligado deal) and high band (Cband) spectrum shells/constellations will supplement that low band spectrum (more data throughput, more connections possible, better/faster speeds, etc) This is the same thing that happened during the 4G/LTE evolution terrestrially. For example, ATT first started with 700 MHz (1C), then they went to 1900 MHz (2C), 2100 MHz (3C), 2300 MHz (4C), 850 MHz (5C) and Cband (6C). These are what they call “carrier adds” within the 4G/LTE program. They provide additional frequencies that each phone can connect to depending on traffic, connection/ping type, etc. These decisions are made in milliseconds by networking software. Each carrier is an overlay to the existing system and works seamlessly with the other frequencies at that base station. Each cell phone site has a base station and can have 1 or all 6 of these carriers per site - depending on how ATT wants to deploy capital for that region (most cell phone sites in the boonies only need 1-3 carriers vs city traffic requires all 6) The same will happen on the satellite side. If the connection is very weak on the terrestrial side it will automatically connect to the satellite and you won’t know the difference. If you drive closer to a terrestrial tower and the signal is better there will be a handoff that you won’t even notice but will continue your phone call/streaming/data transfer seamlessly. This will also be critical for First responders in emergency situations. Not just forest fires in the middle of nowhere (where current cell phone service is already very limited) but hurricanes/tornados/floods/etc that take out commercial power (what terrestrial cell phone sites run off of. There is limited battery backup/generator backup for these sites when commercial power goes out for multiple days). No commercial power - no terrestrial cell phone network. This changes with satellite connectivity. It will be a game changer!

If you look at the chart today for SCHD and many individual dividend paying stocks, it all looks the same, along with VZ and GIS. Even broader VOO appears the same. It's primiarly tech and engergy on my radar that broke that mold today. In a vacuum sure the company loses market cap by exactly the amount they pay in cash dividend on ex-dividend date. But stocks don't trade in a vaccum.
Money chasing tech/AI has to come from somewhere. Capital chases the highest risk-adjusted returns. Right now that chase is in the hyperscalers and their AI investments. You don't have to play the wall street game. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. You should not be buying VZ/GIS for growth. They are dividend paying vehicles with low to no growth so the bet there is that they keep paying high dividends and if interest rates go down they will fly (right now investors would rather buy safe treasuries than dividend stocks that yield just a little more but come with equity risk).
That’s fair. I tend to use stocks like VZ and F with when looking/waiting for better plays and needing to diversify out of BN, SPY, etc. Grab some of these “slow and steady” stocks when they’re bullish because it’s marginally better than liquidity just sitting, then I drop them for a tiny profit when something promising shows up. $30 is $30 🤷♀️
Cash-secured puts do allow you to make some money, but if you want enough security (i.e. you don't expect these options to be exercised), then the premium will not be very profitable. Therefore, I prefer to sell puts on margin. I own a lot of high-dividend utility stocks and sell some 2701 TLT 70 puts, 2701 O 40 puts, or 2701 VZ 28 puts. I believe there is little chance that these options will be exercised, and even if they are, I am willing to take them. Volatility is calculated based on the option price, so if you are facing some very illiquid options, you may find that you cannot calculate reliable volatility.
I shared a setup on Verizon a couple weeks back, but it ended up swooping down for a little liquidity sweep shortly after. I maintained my position (actually added to it last week, which has paid off. +190% yesterday, another 45% today on some of those calls). I started sharing details on TradingView if anyone is interested in my analysis : [https://www.tradingview.com/chart/VZ/ceXIGZAs-Verizon-has-stepped-onto-the-launch-pad-Let-s-GO/](https://www.tradingview.com/chart/VZ/ceXIGZAs-Verizon-has-stepped-onto-the-launch-pad-Let-s-GO/) \*queue the crayon jokes lol\*
The trap is that you’re SEVERELY underperforming the benchmark indices by investing into VZ because it appears “undervalued” on the surface. You would have FAR greater and more outsized returns simply by putting your money in the S&P500.
Not at all. If you invested in VZ 30 years ago and the price went nowhere but you have seen your dividends come in as expected - what is the “trap”? Thats exactly as expected, and as the other guy posted earlier - basically a bond.
Oil is the next landline telephone industry. China will sell more plug ins than the US will sell cars next year. Europe is just behind them. Eventually the US will pull their heads out of their asses and invest in and buy EVs. Oil isn’t going away over night but it’s a dead man walking. Look at T or VZ returns if you want to see the future.
PEP (1) -15.52% BB (5) -3.36% VZ (2) -0.50% PYPL (1) +6.80% AMZN (1) +8.40% INTC (5) +9.46% F (5) +12.31% AXP (3.14) +25.87% UBER (1) +28.17% TKO (21) +33.12% LYFT (2) +37.73% Started investing about a few months ago. I think I’m doing pretty well!
Nahh this is not it. The catalysts are all in the future and the only immediate one is the Verizon DA which is practically priced in given VZ is leasing their spectrum to ASTS per the recent filing.
Not if it is payed via dilution or taking out debt it’s not. VZ has not grown their free cash flow per share since 1996. They are not paying this high dividend yield by intrinsically growing their cash flows, that’s for sure.
A value trap doesn’t have to loose you money. It just has to not have the ability to provide you with growing shareholder value. Again, maybe your definition of a value trap is simply different than mine, which is fine. VZ trades at a very attentive valuation, and on the surface appears very cheap, but has not provided any growth or shareholder value in over 25 years. That’s a value trap in my book.
Rate my portfolio for Monday. 25% each: LMT PBR VZ VALE I'm guessing I'll be up 2 down 2. Slight gain.
Mmm sold VZ now I may rebuy it again , someone fill my 41.70 order please
Giving two examples does not disprove what I said, I just said that dividend yield does not always equal return Your total return could be more or it could be less. VZ pays a high dividend but its stock price has been down 5-10 year periods
Long NVDA, PM, RTX, GLD, EUAD, VZ, VYMI Short SPY, TMC, ASTS
Looks like the US may strike Iran over the weekend. Bonds / Stocks like VZ will rally next week if that happens. Looks like market futures are already pricing it in. Friday tech will likely drop. “I might be early but I’m not wrong.” - Michael Burry
I think VZ looks interesting. Yes, I think so .
I can't stop being lured in by Verizon VZ
CBOE: Today's option volume of 51.9M contracts was -3.00% below recent average levels, with calls leading puts 4 to 3. Index & ETF products saw relatively heavy volume, while single stock flow was moderate. Among the 500 most liquid single stocks, 30-day IV was higher for 143 & lower for 302. Unusual total option volume was observed in AMD ORCL CRCL OXY & VZ

Iran sending fake text messages to Israelis lol. Calls on VZ
VZ. Multi-week consolidation in a bull flag. Thought it was about to rip the other day but it looks like a little liquidity sweep first. Could pop any day. Check out the daily / weekly charts. Now that the Iran shit is going on, I’m even more bullish on it. The second bond yields dip it’s gonna blow IMO.
Too good to be true? What's wrong with $UPS, $VZ, and $PFE? They all pay >6% in dividends, I have been looking at them all week, and I can't find any downfall or signs that the divident would/could be cut. 6% dividend **and** growth, why not? Am I overlooking something?

Bullish on VZ cause a lot of people blowing up my phone today.
WMT and VZ deep inside my ass plotting my demise
Correct ... OP's trade is just a financing "trade" (really its a financing decision since OP seems to want to be long VZ no matter what). Buy spot VZ now or buy VZ forward , the only difference is the implied dividend and financing rate between spot and fwd implied price.
VZ call $45 September. Sell before earnings on July 28.
Oh no! In NJ the stores are actually much nicer and better that VZ (at least where I am). VZ has put some bad impressions on me over the years. Is it calling their service or stores that are a mess? Personally I’ve never called for assistance but went to stores so wouldn’t know that part.
My baby is T, but I bought some VZ because you were right about that chart looking primed for a move. Nice call!
Oh weird, looks like OP was fucking right! And all these dumbass regards were wrong. Nice call, OP, got into VZ this AM https://preview.redd.it/9wsuh89ig46f1.png?width=1164&format=png&auto=webp&s=40810f867a77eef366161cb539f57da26d20b443
I did. And I believe VZ could break into a rally any day now. Most of my calls expire in mid-July. I’ve got time to see which way things start moving first.
VZ and EPD are my dividends for life.

I haven’t had a chance to dig into IWM lately, it’s on my watchlist though. Any dovish talk from JPOW next week will be a boost for sure. Same goes for VZ. VZ being a dividend stock, any talk of rate cuts will help move the price upwards. For small caps it’s due to cheaper debt. For VZ it’s the same, but also because the dividend can come down (relative to price) / stock price can rise and it will still be equally attractive. IWM is trickier than a single stock though. It’s been a real bastard to forecast with the rate environment. Even when they cut in December, the index fell like 5%.
I have those too. Sept exp lol. But VZ is cheaper / more profitable.
Been sleeping on VZ but this actually makes sense. Might throw in some calls, let’s see that squeeze!
Can't go wrong with that. Looking at historical volume, I think it would take some serious work to get VZ below $41.
tmobile is one I'm keeping my eye on... compared to T and VZ... tmobile is crushing it and could challenge them in the coming years.
Largest position in my boomer port is ATT. I bought more during the hard selling last week. Them and VZ are solid companies, good dividends and they are currently and will continue printing money. Both charts look real nice and they’re trading at discounts. Telecom is a strong buy. https://preview.redd.it/51apr8a8xs5f1.png?width=731&format=png&auto=webp&s=b1ac97b8aab8ecc3d4b366f692750e822f497f76
Wynn has a lot of exposure to China. it may be challenging. VZ is a good dvd play
Wynn and VZ. At least Vz pays a decent dividend but would be nice if they got their stock up.

Retired and my Dividend ETF's are VIG, SCHD, JEPI AND JEPQ. Plus I have VZ stock.
My guy here are your problems with your strategy: **1. No True Weekly Dividend Stocks**: True weekly dividend-paying stocks are extremely rare [Dividendchannel](https://www.dividendchannel.com/weekly-dividend-paying-stocks/)[Timothy Sykes](https://www.timothysykes.com/blog/weekly-dividend-stocks/). Some stocks like: VZ, T, XOM all pay quarterly, not weekly. **2. The Interest Rate Hurdle**: Even with VZ's highest yield of 6.23%, you'd barely beat the 5.7-6.75% margin cost, leaving almost no profit after taxes and fees. **3. Risk Amplification**: Using margin amplifies losses. If these dividend stocks drop 10-15% (common for telecom/energy), you're facing margin calls while still owing interest. **4. Dividend Cuts**: AT&T already cut its dividend by nearly 50% in 2022 [AT&T or Verizon: Which Stock Offers the Safer Dividend? u/themotleyfool #stocks $T $VZ $TMUS](https://www.fool.com/investing/2024/09/02/att-or-verizon-which-stock-offers-safer-dividend/), and high-yield stocks often cut payouts during market stress.
I have played wheel-like strategies for many years but I really like 4 spokes on my wheel...put income, call income, dividends, capital gains. VZ is working well lately. Sold 10 Dec puts. Got 1.24 and got assigned. Almost immediately got early Jan div of .67775. Waited for rally and got .95 for 3/21 45 calls. Expired worthless. Got .75 for 4/11 45 calls. Expired worthless. Got early Apr div of .67775. Ready to sell 45's on rally. No rush...more than halfway to next div. Stock up 1.32 from the assigned price of 42. I'm up more than 4 times the stock move. For sure, not everything works this well. I'm primarily an income investor so I am always looking for high quality stocks that pay high dividends and seem to be range-bound.
The US isn't taking on IMF loans so we won't end up like VZ or ZM.
Verizon communications VZ (former name Verizon Wireless) and AT&T and maybe Google since they were involved in the bidding process of the 700 spectrum band back in the day as per Wikipedia.

T and VZ going to be the big buyers with cash at the table
Calls on TMO VZ and believe it or not Huawei.
GM and F. tarriffs- tax reduction = 1.5 billion loss. VZ and ATT will be passing on tarriff loss to consumers, many companies no forward outlook, inflation and recession tarriffs = uncertainty, GDP contracted, and downgrade again credit. 1st quarter no reflection of tarriffs April 2. Oil stocks. Deregulation of what exactly and when? Budget? 5 years to build a plant, automation and Robotics. I wish I was a bull.
I accidentally bought 7k of VZ on an options play, but it has a great dividend yield so i’m holding 🤣
SCHD is a farily low fee. UTG / JEPI are higher for sure. SCHD fee would have served you much better than holding individual stocks such as T PFE INTC where capital deprecation gives you a net loss. Depending on when you bought VZ it's most likely flat or down for most people, where as SCHD is up in addtion to the yield. There is no guarantee that SCHD will continue on that path, but again main point is the diversification. You hold 3-7 diviend stocks - 1 or 2 go south, your dividends don't even cover the captail losses. In the case of INTC the dividend is suspended. I'm sure SCHD has had some "losers" but in a pile of 100 it won't stand out and they can just cycle it out for something else.
But the ETFs all have fees attached, which eat into your bottom line if you want dividend income… I tend to avoid ETFs. My fave is DUK, VZ. Am looking into ARCC once this market stabilizes.
ASTS is the opportunity of the decade and most of yall still don’t see it. When you’ve got GOOG, T, VZ, Goldman Sachs, and the FCC chair behind you, success seems a lot more likely
I just put everything I got in VZ 🤦♀️
I'm not entirely sure yet. Buying SCHD or VZ shares with my mid month paycheck. I want to make a move on UNH. I sold some puts today and collected a few grand in premiums. It has to be oversold at this point, I will probably start to build a long term position.
I hope I'll still have the spare cash laying around, waiting for Trump's personal charm to take effect. Or maybe I'll byte the bullet and get back in before then. I'm eyeing some KO and maaaaaaybe a small amount of VZ if it drops below 40 again.
You can do it, mix Some 5% paying stuff like bonds with some BCD’s and REITs, and some staple stocks yielding really well right now like Verizon (VZ) , Pfizer ( PFE), and Lyondell Basel (LYB). That’s what I do and it lets me keep a bigger % in the broader market for growth.
Ending red today because I diversified too much and had T, MO, and VZ, if I just had SPY I wouldve made thousands 
I’m adding to some core positions in both ETFs and individual tickers. Adding JEPI JEPQ SPYI VZ CCI SCHG SCGD VTI VOO QQQ Pretty much all the stuff I should’ve bought instead of weed stocks over the past 5-6 years lol
The main US traded Australia ETF is "only" up 1.5% over a 1 year period - I'd hardly call that shining. The article mentions a couple of stocks that are up a good percentage - that's not the same as "Australia's stocks". One of those stocks is Telstra which is their big telecom giant. But even VZ and T are up this year because it's considered more safe haven / defensive. Very misleading title and article...
I’ve owned some APPL for probably eight years, AMZN for 5-6, and VZ for about five.
I've been investing in majority index funds but some individual holdings for 30 years now because I enjoy the work the latter takes. I initially started buying stocks as a way to learn the markets and finance better and it turns out I enjoyed it and did well with it. But you're right, strictly index investing is the safer bet. But I like the added risk. For me, value was key. Doesn't matter how great a product or company is, if the share price is overvalued it's not a buy. To determine the value, I trust in analyst ratings, and very heavily weight the Morningstar rating for a holding in my decisions. Dividend payers was my second criteria, and especially now that we're retired. My top ten holdings follow. If I remove AMZN and GOOG from the mix, my other 22 holdings earn about 6.2% dividends, much more if I calculate yield on cost. I'm sitting on 30% gains, double that in my taxable brokerage which I'm selling down in retirement at 0% LTCG before our social security and RMDs kick in and income goes back up.

You’re thinking about this the right way, its just that your inputs are off: (1) VZ does not have daily expires, just weekly. (2) You may not get $0.11 bids on the 95% puts. Let’s say you can sell the 7-day 95% put for $0.03. Then everything you said is fine, just different actual numbers. And you have to think about the likelihood of VZ moving 5% in a week versus in a day. If you wait till Friday to sell the 1-day option, I suspect the market will be $0.00 - $0.01.
VZ trades everyday business day, as do all options, but does not have daily expirations i.e. Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri. like SPY and SPX. VZ has weekly options expiring on Fridays up to 5 weeks out. Then monthly after that. So, if you buy or sell options tomorrow (May 5) it will have to be the Fri. May 9 contracts. Or the 16th, 23rd, etc. As another responder said the premiums on 5% OTM puts and calls are very small, $.02-.03. To get anywhere near your $0.11 you have to go out to the May 23 expirations. Note also that the volume and open interest on VZ options are very low, in the single and double digits and, in many cases 0. It would appear to me that you need a little more knowledge on what options are and how they work. Any number of books and websites are available to you. Start with the links on this subreddit's "Useful Information" guide to start you learning journey.
I don't know of any stock/equity (e.g., VZ) that have options with an expiry every day. There are some ETFs (e.g., SPY, QQQ, etc.) that do. Time to rethink.
I'm not sure where you got your $0.11 number from, but the 5% OTM short puts in VZ have bids of $0.02-0.03, and that's on 5 DTE
Not having a telecom name like T or VZ in your long term account  they print money, pay dividends and connectivity is only continuing
imagine struggling every day to do DD, scouring over information and going balls deep on huge options plays, just to get outdone by boomers up 8% YTD who held their VZ dividend stock and got an extra 6% div yield to buy a new Traeger grill and an Xbox for the grandkids
And yet China has signaled that they are willing to talk. This is not coming from our administration, its coming from them. I am long GOOG, NVDA, BRK.B, CB. VZ. If you think I am really wrong then go short against my positions.
E – EL (Estee Lauder Companies Inc.) Criticized for animal testing in certain markets due to regulatory requirements. V – VZ (Verizon Communications Inc.) Known for privacy concerns and lobbying against net neutrality. I – INTC (Intel Corporation) Faced lawsuits over anti-competitive practices and data vulnerabilities. L – LLY (Eli Lilly and Company) Under fire for insulin pricing and pharma lobbying influence.
My Ford stock has literally paid for itself twice over in dividends. You couldn't get me to sell it at any fucking price. I buy other dividend shit like ATT and VZ, just to pretend to be diverse, but I love Ford. Please disregard that I actually drive Porsches. Unrelated.
Tmus has an EV of 400B. VZ and T are at 350B. I’ve looked at them all, and I can’t really see a difference in the business offerings. I’d probably go with Verizon as they have more leverage compared to equity.
I’ve got VZ and T leaps. They move together with the telecom sector. I think a rising tide in telecoms will lift all their boats. Mine are for January 26 so I guess a longer time frame than you’re looking at but I think it will continue to hold up well or rise
I didn't read all of that but VZ will do better than most companies over the next year or few years. It's a solid defensive stock I hold shares, short puts, and short calls. Please short it more so I can get higher premiums for my short puts
Because look what happened to Verizon. TMUS is better positioned than VZ but is trading at a high PE relative to peers, if its shows weak outlook or challenges ahead it could very well tank. The option interest is also bearish.
Yes you are, wrong on VZ, wrong on ENPH wrong on MMM and countless others. You said "your bot is the best", but you are not the best
