Verizon Stock Analysis, Buy, Sell or Hold

For only the second time in 137 years, AT&T cut its dividend. That had to be like a gut punch for a lot of AT&T shareholders who were relying upon those dividends.

So, is there still profit available in the wireless industry?

Every month that I pay my AT&T Uverse bill, I think, how could this company not make money? But maybe I just answered my own question. 

AT&T has spread itself thin for about the past decade or more. They're trying to be far more than a wireless service provider. If you are a dividend investor, should you buy, sell or hold?

I'll give you two thoughts.  First, there are alternatives for investing in wireless technology. Obviously, Verizon is one of those options since that is the subject of today's stock analysis.  I mention more on alternatives in today's video.

Second, I want to help you grow your knowledge on selling dividend stocks, so you know when the time comes. I have prepared a special video lesson called When To Sell a Dividend Stock. You can find that video lesson for free at www.WhenToSellaDividendStock.com
