What Did You Buy Today?

That's a more than good enough return for 25 years. My guess is VZ best growth years are behind them but they are probably still OK in the proper %. I wouldn't advise a young person to make it a core position, or even buy it without a solid dip. But stocks like VZ won't look so bad when high beta ports get clipped 50%.

I'm not sure I have ever owned VZ shares but on dips I sell a few puts and have potential exposure for a month and grab a full quarter's worth of dividends quickly. Same as I do with other safe and boring DIV stuff like HRL when it hits my end of the range. Half of my port is a real snoozer lol.
