AT&T, Inc. (NYSE:T)

Defensive

A penultimate(historically good returns), and a dividend yield over 6%, and a dow company, and what the Iphone contract is staying with them....how dare they....well tough....they're AT&T...s**k it. Also checked on valueline - dow companies are a free to see :) has an A rating and has solid projections for the coming years. solid.

Ccompetition in the wireless market is needed. T will provide that competition even if the iPhone monoploy is lossed. Good dividend with a better payout ratio than VZ.

I believe this to be a very secure dividend. I don't expect much in the way of dividend growth but I will use this as a source of current income. T has a cash flow situation much like VZ, except that T has much less debt than VZ and even has a payout ratio actually covered by earnings. Yielding 6.6% ? Around $1,500 will buy 60 shares and put a $25 check in your mailbox every three months. Can't get excited about that? Well, I can...because I like to do it again...and again....and again.....

A hedge pick should the market continue to be as volatile throughout the rest of the year. Meanwhile, dividend is strong, new Iphone to be released soon, good balance sheet, and has significant exposure internationally.

heres my pitch: they suck

They suck, once they lose the iphone they lose millions of customers. I am glad to have left them for sprint. Amazing paying half the price and getting better service! That is what I call value investing.

great dividend for those seeking income generation in retirement. I reccomend this company for anyone nearing retirement and looking for a little boost to social security.

Bearing sentiments about AT&T mobile are all wrong. Nobody has much affinity for their mobile carrier and go where phones are best. T has the best phones, even without the iPhone. It's also cheap and pays out 7 percent.

With a dividend near 7% this company has little to lose in the volitility in the current market. As investors growing increasingly wary of investing little to lose stocks should do better than high risk high reward.

It's been the trend in cellphone stocks for a long time. Buy the handset maker. Sell the network provider. Go back and look at just about any popular handset maker over the past 20 years. Motorola, Palm, Nokia, Ericsson, etc. Apple seems to be the latest hot handset maker, so maybe you should go out and buy it now. I'll just stick with boring old AT&T and it's 6%+ dividends.

AT&T is done. Hello Verizon and hello Sprint!

Talk, talk, talk will help this one outperform the S&P 500.

Discounted P/E based on 10-year average , Nice Dividend, Good Network Capability, Expanding Services

In my current portfolio, bought for dividends. Rethinking now because they can't manage to sell me a damn iPhone online, and their CS reps are no help at all.

Provider with the best mobile phone going. Will stay on top of telecom business

PE low, good dividend

Never give UP on MA Bell.
