Verizen, not without its competition and troubles, will see great improvement this coming year.  The soon to be released phone DROID is expected to give the IPHONE some real competition and take some wind out of Apples sales.  The company is looking for buyers of some less profitable landline service areas.  The DROID phone should help drive up the subscriber base in its cell phone markets

"Our favorite and steadiest U.S. telecom recommendation is Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ)," says Martin Weiss.

"I remain optimistic that now is a good time to be purchasing high-yielding assets," says growth and income expert Bryan Perry.

Indeed in his industry-leading The Cash Machine, the advisor adds two growth and income picks to his buy list: AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ). Here's his assessment.

"Even if you are forecasting a recovery in mid to late 2010, you should be aggressively buying strategic high-income assets over the next three to six months.

Reiterating: Verizon - A smooth oceanliner amid choppy seas Graphic_rating_buy VZ

Filed under: Verizon Communications (VZ), Stocks to Buy

I'm reiterating my Buy rating for Verizon (NYSE: VZ), first recommended on February 12, 2009 at a price of $29.86.

Verizon has born the brunt of the recession and related credit shocks well. Further, while VZ's landline business will continue to be pressured by wireless, cable, and Internet phone services, FiOS will prevent some of that attrition. Meanwhile, VZ's dividend is rock solid and it has ample cash.

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...

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.

Further the nation awaits the U.S. Treasury's stress test for banks, a process that will help determine which banks are suitable to continue operating, and which may not be.

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.

But not just any utility. We're talking a well-capitalized utility. With solid revenue streams. And a large, moneyed customer base. And dominate positions in key markets. Hey, this is not a market for 'experimental business models' and 'iffy' stock plays, which is why Verizon is worth a review.
