Q: I purchased VZ about 6 months ago. The thesis was that it was a safe stock to hold during a market correction and it also paid a great dividend. Since then, the stock has plummeted 15% - not much of a safe place to be.
In your opinion, is VZ now a hold in an income portfolio, and is the dividend safe?
Many Thanks
