I am buying ten shares of VZ verizon.
My hope is that I can do eight percent gain in a year.

There is no bull case for Verizon. Your money is dead.

I asked copilot. And got this about VZ:

Strong Dividend Yield: Verizon offers a 6.1% dividend yield, with 20 consecutive years of increases — making it a reliable income stock.

Undervalued Metrics: Its forward P/E ratio is around 9.35, suggesting it's trading below fair value compared to peers.

Wireless Leadership: Verizon remains a dominant player in U.S. wireless services, with expanding 5G infrastructure and customer growth.

Earnings Momentum: The company recently beat earnings expectations and raised its full-year guidance, boosting investor confidence.

Defensive Play: In uncertain markets, telecoms like Verizon offer stability due to recurring revenue and essential services.

Its up 1% today and the dividend will get you just over 6%. So all you need is it to go up 1% in the next 364 days.

I did well when it was $35 and sold most of my shares when it was $44.

I would wait until earnings before trying it again. They just canned their CEO and replaced him with the guy that tanked PayPal. Did copilot tell you it’s anticipated the new CEO will be used as a scape goat for a corporate reset and dividend cut?

I'm not sure how they calculate this up 1%

But when I buy and sell it don't come out to the same percent it is coming out lower than 1 percent

I been have VZ on my watch list since 10/1/24
Then
End of March 25 and start of April 25 the VZ went above 45 a share
but now it's below 40. so being below 40 I thought that it's time to get ten shares

I think I get how they calculate up 1% today.
I think they take yesterdays close to calculate gain today.
I can't buy the stock VZ today at yesterdays closing price. lol

What happens when Starlink goes direct to your phone?

I mean its your money so i don't really care but Verizon is a dead company. Invest in innovation. AMD or Amazon will do well over what you want the next 3 years.

Thank you. I will add AMD and Amazon to my watch list.
I feel so many stocks are overpriced. It hurts me buying at the top or all time highs. lol
But anyway my order went through so I got ten shares at $38.80 each.
Best of

Better be careful, you’re about to rile up the ASTS goons.

I have a decent amount of shares because of the dividends. Added bonus is when tech stocks go down this goes up and vice versa. Mind you I got in low so that helps. But right now is a good time to buy IMO. Funny someone would mention starling today of all days. They don't follow the news that much

If it makes you feel any better Amazon is still 5% off it's all time high.

Amd is a different story unfortunately

lol

I guess it's more about the strategy than the money. I got some good feedback that made me think of some different strategies.
