Filed under: Analyst upgrades and downgrades, Getting started, AT and T (T), Verizon Communications (VZ), Bargain stocks, Comfort Zone Investing, Chasing Value, Stocks to Buy  Nothing is worse than repeating past mistakes. Despite the awful economy, my newest portfolio is doing better than any other since 1999-2000, actually passing a 100% gain recently, although it has dropped back slightly with the market the past few trading days.
Ten years is recent enough for me to remember giving everything back and then some. I'm not doing that again. But what to do? I certainly do not like sitting with...

AT&T is good dividend stock

-4.69%

I think AT&T has a strong position in the US and will continue to grow in the industry. If they keep the dividend as is, this is a good buy point. As long as they have an exclusive with Apple, they will continue to drive their network's technology to faster speeds (HSPA+ and eventually LTE). However, when everyone moves to LTE, it will get quite interesting.

Filed under: AT and T (T), Stocks to Buy  Today's economic (and credit market) conditions call for taking a page out of that great analysts' defensive play book: if we liked it at $27, we like it even more at $24.
The 'it' being AT&T's (NYSE: T) shares. AT&T shares walked in tandem with the market's great slide in 2008, but just as significant, the shares have been essentially unchanged since October 2008. In other words, shares were essentially unmoved by the greatest financial market and stock market turmoil since the 1930s.Continue reading AT&T (T) still rings true <>AT&T (T) still rings true ...

Filed under: Industry, Stocks to Buy The telecom business is definitely not recession-proof, as those that have followed the industry have recently realized, but it is not a field that is going to fade into the horizon any time soon either. Simply put, people need to communicate and the telecom business is poised to continue rolling with the new technology and bringing people what they need. If you see the value of telecom companies and agree that their future is, perhaps not golden, but definitely strong, then an investment in an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is an excellent way to invest in t...

Although not completely immune from the current global economic slowdown, many telecom services companies are currently yielding higher amounts than tobacco companies and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU). Although many of the foreign telecom companies included in the ETFI Global Telco Services Dividend Income Index issued special one-time dividends over the past year which inflates their trailing 12-month yield; both Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) are currently yielding over 6% each while trading at multi-year lows.

About AT&T Inc
- Answers.com
It's a market that seems to know no (lower) bounds. The pronounced U.S. recession continues. The financial markets have stabilized but credit -- the lifeblood of commerce -- remains constrained. 
The U.S. economy remains weak - - grappling with its most severe recession in decades. Credit remains tight, although U.S. government interventions have stabilized the financial system (so far). Further, there are major public policy unknowns: a new administration, the Obama Administration, takes office in January 2009 - - a reality that could substantially alter the investing landscape.
