VZ

Happy-n-Healthy

Sir you are mistaken, Chevron is VZ

Exotic_Detective_804

I'm jumping into safe dividend stocks for a while (CLX, VZ, KMB, PEP). And I'm holding a fair amount of cash.

Good_Ride_2508

Pfizer - PFE is my single more investment now,30% of my holding, apart from VZ & T in taxable account.

drntrader

VZ looks good on the weekly, $42-$44. Easy money to $42.60. Thank you for the TIP, I will be buying it on Monday!! Wow, you timed it very well. Today was the entry! $41.40 for sure by next week. 💰😄

ResponseDue3056

My 50x VZ $41 10/24C is up over 100%. Gonna start taking profits Monday

Particular_Piece_953

PEP, WMT, VZ nice charts —they looked better yesterday, but should be decent tmr depending on market

DoubleFamous5751

Good lad, VZ is a good one long term down here.

Thoughtful_Tortoise

VZ going to continue climbing today in the runup to earnings

theduderino38

What kind of picks are you holding if you don’t mind sharing? Looking to add more in that space if they have dividends, and have mostly been buying Google , Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, And data center adjacent network - CCI , VZ, and some chips, cybersecurity , software etc. I’d consider adding maybe softline or another big colo provider. Thanks!

Bjamnp17

Cash UNH WM VZ , great dividends!

VZ pumpin' all day

$WMT and $VZ calls Nov 21

Haven’t seen this much green in my account. Thank you boomers $HD $LOWES $T $VZ

sylphvanas

Fuck this shit. $VZ tank every day

Regardo-8907

ASTS needs the spectrum of VZ and ATT. The same as the service provided by Starlink and TMUS

Regardo-8907

First of all. You wont get broadband data better than what the original starlink internet offers (the one with the dish). The data transfer will NEVER be faster than cell phone towers. Sats have lower priority because they are further away and because if you have ever read the filings you can notice that it says that they can only use the VZ/ATT spectrum in certain spots. Not everywhere. Which means that 99.9% of the data will be transferred in their current network. The CEO from Verizon even said that they cover 99.%+ of the population and that the need for sats is complementary.

Particular_Piece_953

$VZ

light-yagamii

Anyone know why telecom stocks like VZ, CMCSA, and T did so bad last week? It was one of the worst weeks of the year for them. Wondering if there's some hidden bad news surrounding the industry

Particular_Piece_953

Can we please pump $VZ? 🌶️

martinez2k19

Calls on everything. I bought calls on Friday for $APPL $SPY $OXY $VZ

EscortSportage

Big fan of VZ been holding and adding for years.

Witty-Bear1120

Why is UNH there twice? VZ thrice, come to think of it.

badasimo

I bought literally one share of VZ to start DCA back to 100 shares.

jer72981m

100% VZ stock

sylphvanas

Imagine you regards not having $VZ and $T calls

New_Regard_2025

T and VZ are the 2 biggest turds i can think of I have been burned on both over the years. Good thing I made those losses back on GSAT yesterday.

Prestigious_Bug_2765

Who in the right mind buys VZ calls!! Stop the madness. Come join us for free.

etown00

Roth is great. I don't know what ETFs you are currently holding. There are a few ETF that do CCs on Mag7 for you MAGY, YMAG, others. Personally, doing CC on Mag7 doesn't always work for me due to volatility, I would rather buy DITM LEAP on those mag7 and leave CCs (or PMCC) for stocks with less volatile stocks having nice premium such as BRK-B, COST, GLD, VZ, that do not bust my cover.

reddit_is_fash_trash

I wanna know OP's logic when he decided to buy short-term calls on VZ and T, two of the most Boomer-ass stocks that don't move.

RockyMountainGoat76

Peloton - literally dying Bros - over 100 PE ratio for a coffee chain T and VZ trading sideways in a +/- 10% range for 8 months with no indication of breaking out Yeah OP it's very clear you shouldn't be buying stocks, much less options.

alwayslookingout

You buy T and VZ shares for their dividends, so why would you buy calls?

Valuable-Drop-5670

Holy hell, I almost bought Home Depot as well. Thank god I got distracted by POET and PATH instead. I find that the more brain power I put into a stock, the less successful the trade, because most people buying these are not going to think much about it, and so the stock will go undervalued. So if you want to be "smart", buy Home Depot shares and just **wait**. Warren Buffett style. Same applies to SBUX and RIVN and VZ, but then again what do I know...

New_Regard_2025

VZ is a huge turd I had if for over a year and was lucky to make it out less than %10 down. At least they paid a %4 dividend, I’ll never buy a cell provider again got burned the same way on ATT years ago. Did buy a sat phone company and up %50 on it but I did have to bag hold a -%20 fall after a 1:15 reverse split.

skilliard7

>Additionally, it's not fair to compare say the SPY with these foreign equities. Most of the equity inflow into America is into stocks like the mag7 as opposed to general indexes. Which I think draws attention to something, which is the fact that many non-tech companies are trading at extremely cheap valuations. Conagra brands, General mills, Kraft Heinz are all trading at <10x normalized earnings, as consumer staples stocks that are generally recession resistant. PFE is trading at 13.5x earnings as healthcare. Comcast is at <8x earnings(not counting 1-time profit from Hulu deal), VZ <10x earnings, T at 15x earnings in telecommunications. REITs are very cheap as well, with many below the estimated NAV of their underlying holdings. I don't think we are in an "everything but cash" bubble. Yes, there are many alternative assets like precious metals and crypto which have been skyrocketing. But I think it would better be described as a "greed" bubble. People want to own assets they think can double in price 1-3 years, not boring stable companies that grow earnings at 2-4% a year and pay a 7% dividend.

chancepack

You guys buying ASTS at 90 when you can get VZ for 41 with good dividend!

Tardigrade_Man

Am I still banned? If not, 10/10 VZ calls

pekas13

Long BROS, AMZN, POET, VZ. Puts on NVDA.

X0B0X0

losing money on VZ is retarded

KeyHelicopter2764

My moves tomorrow are: calls on BROS, AMZN, POET, VZ, and puts on NVDA. 🫡✅

Recent_Register_2952

its for sure a big time yield trap ET is similar and slightly better choice if you are just chasing yield. MY retard opinion that is not financial advice is to maybe look into MO or BTI, perhaps GILD if you want some yield + upside but generally speaking high yield divs not gonna show much growth. Regardless VZ is shit lol

Overall-Shame-2991

Is VZ a good buy ? or there are still dumping chances ?

Overall-Shame-2991

Is VZ a good buy ? or there are still dumping chances ?

Tardigrade_Man

Those $43 VZ calls are looking juicier by the minute, might be a good opportunity depending on this morning's price action...

Tory_hhl

T and VZ took a big hit today just because VZ got an old school CEO ?

AleutianMonkey

$VZ dropped to fast, call options are cheap, betting she will rip, but that’s my fate 🪦

Whipitreelgud

The former CEO of VZ was asleep at the wheel. T-Mobile is eating them alive on customers and network development.

EscortSportage

Picked up some EPD. VZ today.

yodamastertampa

Hold gold, bitcoin, and bond like stocks such as VZ. Also BDCs like MAIN or a BDC ETF like PBDC. These are not correlated to the equity market directly. On some red days I see all of these go up and vice versa. These will smooth out the volatility. Also hold corporate bond funds like JBBB or JAAA or even STRC which pays 10% and has stable nav.

sylphvanas

Bought T Friday and got dicked today. Then bought VZ on the dip today

SenseInternational82

!banbet VZ $40.50 1d

DoubleFamous5751

When did you get the VZ and T calls? You would probably be fine if you gave them more time or bought shares.

Underscore516

Thanks man. I'm familiar with this chart. I'll end this back and forth with two points: 1. I purchased my shares at $40 in 2016. "GOING INTO COVID...", my shares traded around $110. PRIOR to the censorship debacle in 2022, Paypal performed well. I'm not sure how to better make you understand this but hopefully between this explanation and your picture, you'll understand. 2. The discussion is centered around Dan Schulman and my point is that, prior to the censorship debacle - and setting aside the windfall of business from COVID - Schulman did a good job leading Paypal. lol Idk how Schulman will perform at the head of VZ. I think censorship under his leadership was inexcusable and unforgivable. Perhaps he's learned? We'll see. By all means, please have the last word.

Bruin9098

I wouldn't call $VZ "upward" 😂

LargeSnorlax

News is VZ is largely stagnant, I sold my stake in July and happy I did

tgff333

Anyone buying the VZ downturn?

Bruin9098

Schuleman presided over a 50% drop in $PYPL market cap. And was part of the SV political censorship crew. Short VZ.

neuvazealandia

Yeah VZ is solid they also have calls with strikes below the 52 week max for <$.1 an earnings play with asymmetric upside.

DoubleFamous5751

Been telling people target is a buy, VZ in a similar spot, chart is not as beat up as tgt though,

DoubleFamous5751

I like KO here, VZ is another dividend payer that’s getting really interesting

redditsweirdlibtard

Let me help you with that. O because of rate drops, VZ because of the dividend and moves they’re making, VOO because the history, ITA or SHLD because world leaders said war is absolutely happening in large scale soon

LosHuevos69

I want to do it on VZ. Stock hardly moves.

wombinator1

QQQ, VOO, NVDA, INTC, APLD, ASML, VZ (for dividend) are my main positions

Siks10

Buy some AES, D, BRK.B, T, VZ, ET, FXI, and AAAU for balance

Nefarious_AI_Agent

My Internets been down all morning, puts on VZ

hasuchobe

VZ was a good buy tho. Not a trap at all.

tyschooldropout

I'll go long on UNH stock and I fucking hate them as a person. VZ? Fuck VZ, my only interaction with this is to buy puts when they raise prices remove discounts or get caught selling personal information.

SpongEWorTHiebOb

See VZ for dividends trap and they didn’t cut their dividend.

MorrisseysRubiksCube

Because you said dividends: BST, LYB, PFE, TGT, VZ

Siks10

Do like the rest of us have done for almost a year, rotate into defensive positions, value stocks, select international ETF, and gold and silver The bubble will definitely burst. Nobody knows if it will happen tomorrow, next year, or later Tickers: T, VZ, D, AES, BRK, DAX, FEZ, UAE, FXI, ILF, AAAU

Few_Ad_3557

If she can handle losses and doesn't need the money for a decade or so, there's nothing wrong with VOO or VTI but remember 1/3rd of that investment is Mag 7 so she's not going to be happy if the AI craze doesn't pan out. There's simply no way to tell if it will. This isn't a dotcom bubble here, most of these market leaders have very strong and consistent earnings, but remember VOO is a great ETF at a not-so-great price right now. That's meaningless if you're younger, but at 60 it has to be considered. Be careful with target date funds, they're just funds of funds and you pay a lot of juice for something you could pretty easily do yourself. For my dad I did a third SGOV (boring), a third safe ish stuff (KO, Costco, VZ, JPM, UNH) and a third riskier (Meta, Google, Oklo, NVO)

lipmanz

Cmcsa vs VZ

VZ 5 year ROI: -26.8% PFE 5 year ROI -31.2%

Rare-ish_Birb

If they lower Fed overnight rates, seems like anything with a dividend north of 5% should be a good call candidate.Like VZ and T and F and CVX. Too bad they all sht companies.

Rare-ish_Birb

VZ

angelcoal

Do both. I sell 0DTE on SPX and NDX and also have some LEAPS that I sell covered calls against (SLV, HOOD, VRTC. VZ). I do not view selling 0DTEs as gambling, but others might

MrMoogie

I bought UNH and VZ recently. They look reasonably priced.

dj_samuelitobx

Depends on where you live! Verizon just completed fiber rollouts all over NYC. Everyone on my block switched over to VZ Fiber. Everyone i know has Verizon or hates their current provider and wants to switch to Verizon.  My belief is that the company has massive expenses that limit it's capacity to offer innovative services. Despite that, it continues to offer competitive prices and services for what is widely considered a premium service. Despite being $150 Billion in debt, it continues to offer a strong dividend and grow as a business. This next period is going to be very good for Verizon. Their competitors are basically paying them to use their infrastructure, and data requirements are only increasing.  

dj_samuelitobx

while I am long on OPEN and encourage everyone to buying whenever it dips under $10, you should absolutely diversify.  SOFI, LDI, PSKY, RDDT, RKT, VZ, T, GLW, TGT All of these companies will do well imo 

Lazy-Gene-7284

I do a decent amount of these because I enjoy living off dividends rather than selling stock . Look at O, pretty strong retailer REIT. Lots more to share that are not reits if your interested, like VZ and OMF👍

Cheebs1976

Verizon $VZ

Rare-ish_Birb

Ahem.... VZ 42c p p p printing 🥳🥳

dubov

Honestly he looks like an average standard investor who trades his portfolio a lot because he is bored. He was building a position in INTC for a while which seems a bit suspicious, but debatable whether the US taking a dilutive share in INTC (based on money that was looking like a donation before), was actually good for the stock. And he's dumped all that last week, probably only for a small profit, below market performance. He buys a lot of well known "value stocks" - UNH, HOG, VZ, F. Seems drawn to falling knives. AAPL is his tech major of choice, lol. Also lol at SMCI

Rare-ish_Birb

VZ 42c 09/19

WickedSensitiveCrew

TMUS, T, VZ all tanked on this news. Not sure how this effects their Oligopoly. I thought ASTS would be more effected.

RutabagaOld5462

I am holding the stocks I’m in love with (ASTS, RKLB, PANW) for the long haul. I’ve shifted some money into high dividend stocks including PFE and VZ. VZ is like a utility at this point.

Historical_Air_8997

I’m with the other guy sorta, it isn’t risk free but it really isn’t *that* outlandish to beat the market over time. There are some pretty obvious loser companies and weeding just some of those out will put you ahead. For example a quick glance at top 100 by weight (of spy), some companies I wouldn’t touch for long term outperformance: T-Mobile- ranked 29, no revenue growth over 3 years (actual decent margin expansion tbf), low dividend compared to peers, more expensive compared to peers, and a telephone company which just are kinda lame nowadays UNH - ranked 30, may be closer to a value now but historically expensive and shitty company. Highly hated by their customers. Lots of societal pressure against health insurance and their increasing rates, potential legislative issues, rising competition with a shift away from shitty insurance. I think it may be decent over 5 years, but I’d never buy it and for 10+ years I’m not sure I see a future where they can continue raising rates the way they have the last decade. WFC - ranked 33, but has long history of fraud, high debt, no growth over 5 years, expensive compared to peers, lower quality compared to peers, lower dividend compared to peers. I’d never buy this over other banks. T and VZ - 45 and 52, kinda similar to TMUS but cheaper and higher divs. They’ve been struggling and I don’t see their future getting much better. BA - 58, government won’t let the fail but doesn’t mean they’ll be a good investment. Like WFC they have a long history of poor management, quality issues, and financial stress. People may chase falling knives but why would anyone buy this company? Intel - 100, need I say more here? So there we have 7/100 companies that are dogshit, could also argue mag7 is very expensive and overweighted (like 30% of the etf). So could make your own mini etf excluding these crap companies and properly weight the mag7 likely causing you to outperform. Ofc it’s riskier, takes a bit more effort and you can’t just set and forget, ETFs change their holdings and sometimes you should too. I would advise anyone buying individual stocks to track your performance tho and make sure your risk adjusted returns are worth it, maybe check in every 5-10 years. Most people can’t beat the market, they’re too emotional or gamble, and should just buy ETFs. But the benefit of beating by just 1-2% over a lifetime is HUGE for those who can. For reference I just checked my returns for the last 5 years. I had a beta of 1.64, portfolio *risk adjusted* alpha of 151.82% with a sharpe ratio of 1.476. I don’t expect to maintain this rate of returns for my lifetime, but even half of my cagr for the next decade or two and I’ll be doing alright.

Lower_Compote_6672

I tend to agree for growth stocks. I wheel stodgy dividend stocks like KO, ET, and VZ. Also, I do it on margin against my growth portfolio so it is additional income to my growth stonks.

Expert-Share-8803

WMT, SOFI, VZ, KO, HOOD to name a few.

Striking_Run4430

"Because I am talking about WMT as an example". When??? Just now??? I used KO specifically because you gave a list, VZ, WMT, KO.

Alvin-Lee1954

No - first if it’s in ex dividend you will attract the sharks , it will get called away and you will lose the per share dividend profit x 100. Second if it gets called away you will lose any profit from an uptick after assignment- that’s why it got called away so fast, it’s going up past your assignment point . Last assignment can cost you, there are associated charges . The best case for a covered call is a low volatility stock - VZ , WMT, KO ( Coca Cola ) . You sell higher strikes for less premium, they expire worthless and you keep the premium. You put up 100 shares of WMT maybe 10K and you will maybe make 150.00 - but if you keep it tight , one a week don’t go out too far , that same 10,000 worth of stock can make you 500-600 a month . 100,000 same scenario can make you 5000-5000 a month - that’s how covered calls are effectively done - passive consistency income

Ihave4friends

I mean you can wheel it. The dividends are what this stock is all about tho. I wheel VZ, at least it has a bit more movement.

LouisValoisXIV

180bn valuation? They are going to be almost bigger than T, VZ and close to TMUS?

Voaracious

Covered call funds can generate a good dividend. JEPI is the famous one but there's others too. Think they're at 8 or 9%.  Brazilian stocks are cheap. But there's some political risk. VALE pays around 10%. I'm in PAGS which does about 9%. Plus they do stock buybacks on top of that.  I've said before here why I think VZ is good and safe. Pays around 6.5%. Write covered calls on it and earn even more.  Or you could always do bonds. Though with inflation looking foreboding maybe I'd hold off on that.  I like MO. I don't like PEP. 

Revfunky

I like VZ better than all the others. Not all dividend stocks are created equally. You are doing yourself a disservice by not utilizing Drip. Drip is one of the super powers of dividends. Wendy’s is not a stock I would be excited about.

Rickyskeets69

TMUS is the new VZ

Just_Learned_This

I asked chatgpt for a list of dividend stocks between $10-30. Here's the list: T VZ

Alimakakos

VZ starting to look like T

LosHuevos69

Noticed this earlier today, but some boomer or one of you regards bought a VZ 45C worth .55 a share for around 1.90 a share and it sold like 65 calls. Bags were exchanged heavily in that transaction.

LosHuevos69

Whoever sold VZ 46c this morning for $1.89, congrats on passing the bag
