Verizon Communications (VZ)

They report Wednesday. Will this stock ever move up? It's stuck and feels more like a bond, than stock. He expects nothing new. He prefers T-Mobil.

He prefers T-Mobile and is doing better than Verizon, but he's always recommended Verizon and continues to.

Seeking dividends Caveat: You don't get the dividend tax credit as a Canadian investor. For good dividends in Canada: telcos, pipelines, utilities (i.e. Emera, Fortis) and the better investment trusts. He buys a bundle of such dividend payers, but these stocks are still below their February highs, as low as 25%.

VZ vs. T Dividend stocks are much more valuable in low interest rate environments. He'd go with Verizon. Do you want to just go for the very high dividend? This could be a red flag. Could be at risk, and wiped out with capital loss on the stock side.

She prefers to own a Canadian telco for dividends, especially as this does not qualify for the Canadian dividend tax credit. She owns BCE instead.

He prefers this to AT&T, because VZ's business model is better--rolling out 5G instead of being a streamer like Netflix and other fierce competitors. Verizon has the legs to expand strongly into 5G. They sold their wireline business three years ago, which was a smart move. They also pay a good dividend.

vs. BCE A good US income stock. Own this in a non-registered account to avoid the tax hit. Better to own BCE, because it won't be taxed in a sheltered account.
