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...

A sector ETF with yield: Own 44 global telecoms with IXP
VZ
+4.68%
in
226 days
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...

<> As investors search for defensive stock investments and high dividend yields during the current bear market turmoil, they need look no further than telecom services companies. In contrast to many of the existing telecom ETFs (the four listed below are all down by about 40% on average in the last year) which have large positions in Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T), the ETF Innovators [ETFI] Global Telco Dividend Income Index is structured as an equally-weighted, all-world index among the top 35 rated compani...

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.

<> 
The accompanying table presents a 20-stock defensive growth portfolio which I believe will outperform the overall market as measured by the S&P 500 Index as the current panic trade comes to an end and investors stop selling stocks regardless of their fundamentals. The average PEG ratio for this group of stocks is below one and the average dividend yield of 4.4% is nearly two times the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) yield of 2.4%. All of the stocks have a market cap over $1B with an average of just under $75B and the indust...

About Verizon Communications 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. 
This market isn't fit for most investors, but if you have the risk tolerance to own (or increase a position in) a stock or two, consider a utility. 
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.
