Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

British Telecom. Pays almost 10% dividend. Losing tradition land lines but gaining on other fronts.

In a bad market, 10% will hold the boat over other stocks.

And if it can’t stand applying pencil to paper, you’d better think it through some more. And if you can’t write an intelligent answer to those questions, don’t do it."

Loyal customer base in UK has been extended to diversified IT services with global reach. And Brit companies are much more popular overseas than American right now.

In fact, BT sees more multiple-service per household growth than its competitors in the UK. Folks may be shy on this stock because it's taken a beating in recent years, but I'm ready to call the worst over and see this as a stock on the rise.
