VZ is building now for huge gains in the next 2-5 years. They are creaping in on the big cables providers with their FIOS implementation and they are already the largest wireless phone provider (and their customers are more profitable per phone then any other wireless provider). Theor dividends are good and the stock price is reasonable for our BEAR market. Buy and DCA VZ. VZ is a long term investment.
