Re: Just waiting.... T's EV: $219.53B
VZ's EV: $154.26B
I think it's going to be a while. |

It is a good HOLD stock, but not a BUY recommendation.

I'd say it probably depends on how long you plan on holding the stock for. Certainly not a good short-term buy based on the numbers you're supplying. But if you go with the assumption that fiber (or some substitute thereof) is the wave of the future, then sooner or later AT&T and the MSOs will have to invest in FTTH, while Verizon is already making that investment.
Once we reach that point, then we may very well see VZ in the catbird seat, just like cable has been milking the HFC investments they made several years ago.

Yes, Verizon may be able to leverage better earnings from their fiber investments(but see my previous post to show why that is not a given). But I rebalance my portfolio every 6 months - plenty of time to watch their progress and invest prior to rapid stock price appreciation.

Yes, lets think short term. That's what we need more of. Screw our children and grand children. I am sick of people only think about the current quarter. I am sick of short term thinking. |

kudos:2 | Fee free to invest however you choose. Nobody will stop you. And long term, you'll probably turn a decent profit. |

With the stock market indexes set to lose at least another 50 percent there will never be a better time to sell stocks in general. Stocks rarely make you money when indexes go down. In the long run you'll never beat the indexes. I'd wager money the stock markets will be sharply lower ten years from now than they are today. |

But stock markets are going to be UP between now and mid 2010. Sell now and you will be giving up gains of 25 to 50%. As to 10 years from now - who knows.

And what indexes are you basing this on? Just US indexes? Start thinking of investing in Foreign stocks & bonds.
