  2. Congrats on your recent pick up. I still do not have VZ nor T in my portfolio but know it is very popular among our DGI peers. Always love reading about fresh buys even as the market grinds higher. That's what true DGI is about. Staying invested no matter where we are in an economic or market cycle. As long as those dividends roll in it's all good.

    Congratulations on the purchase. How do you feel about VZ in the short-term here? Think they are changing their product offerings or directions as a company? Like them a lot? Would love to hear what you think!

  4. I added a small position in VZ using my funds from Loyal3. I am presently use AT&T and loving it. To me VZ is super expensive (although their service is awesome). The price was too good and I could not say NO. However, I don't see it as a long term viable position.
