/biz/ - Business & Finance

Can we start talking about actual businesses and finance?

Here's one:
>Verizon (VZ)
>currently trading around $39
>52 week high was around $55
>dividend yield between 6-7% and it's gone up every year for 18 years
>debt ratio is 0.39

This seems like a buy if you're willing to hold for the long term. A $6000 investment would pay for itself in dividends after about 20 years. And Verizon is essentially unbreakable in the sense that their infrastructure is all over the country. There are businesses that can't exist without Verizon.
