Why I Sold My Verizon Stock (And Why I'm Not Looking Back) [View article]
It is really poor timing to sell VZ stock right now,depending on when you bought it. If you were to wait until spring ,one would see at least a 10% reboud in it's price probably near 47 carried mostly by this bull market. I would sell it then.
