What is your opinion of this telecom giant?
Fine stock, but too volatile for me.
Great stock for me. The price is not low, but it is one of the best stocks out of this sector.
Verizon is a good company with an interesting dividend. But it's a cyclical stock. It could be an interesting portfolio stabilizer.
