Telephone or Verizon? Telephone carries the distinction of being a 2011 Dividend Machine see original post . My cell phone service is through Verizon (VZ.) Years ago I switched from AT&T and all the dropped calls to VZ and I would like to own it. After all, VZ has a mighty yield. But it is just a little early. The last quarter Verizon finally made more money than they paid in dividends and that is progress. We can see more progress on paying down debt but their D/E ratio is well above 1 at 1.44. We just have to wait for this exciting company to meet our criteria to be included in our 2012 Dividend Machine list.

Covered Call Opportunities
Square, symbol SQ, is my current favorite stock that is not a dividend machine. To turn it into an income investment, I use SQ's volatiity to buy when it dips and sell calls. See the table above. Note that this call is not included in the post published on 12/12/18 M*
