Vodafone Group Plc (ADR) (VOD)

Good value play, has a strong dividend yield to account for its recent lackluster performance. Expect things to change for one of the most dominant players in the telecom industry.

The top telecom in the world...that's gotta count for something.

Is now pending regulatory approval on buy of Indian cell phone company; if completed, Vodafone would have excellent capacity for expansion in what is likely to be a growing mobile phone market. Good experience in third world mobile phone networks puts this company in good position for continued expansion in emerging markets even as European market becomes saturated. Holds 45% stake in Verizon which gives company benefit from US market.

Two words: STAY AWAY

Global leader ready to start generating earnings.

Future is not in wires

Strong International Growth

With the US very likely slipping into recession, time to diversify with some non-seasonal stocks ... VOD is one of 'em. Need a better reason, try NOT taking your mobile with you for just One day and you'd be back here voting with me.

I like it's yield and VOD good to shareholders.

Number one or two player in many emerging markets, owns almost half of Verizon Wireless and over three percent of China Mobile. Great dividend and growth potential. What's not to like?

great company, solid investment.

revenues up, 7% dividend, mention in Smart Money article.

Cannot bring any complaints to the table about this company. I do not have much at all to say whether negetive or positive. I think it’s a solid company. But as for speculation, I am not quite sure. I think it is a pretty safe bet and I do believe even if they have a down there will be an up and most likely a very signifcant up. Just stick with them and hold on for the rollercoaster.

Vodafone is selling off assets that do not help their company and be part owner of Verizon Wireless, they have a strong presence in the US and Europe.

Global exposure, a solid stake in Verizon and expanding markets in India and other countries seem to indicate this one should be on the rise again soon...

Dividend Play

huge cashflow, huge dividend, huge global presence, cost cutting is driving margin growth, evolving into a utility.

I've owned Vodafone for about a year now. It has done very well and I plan to own it for quite a while longer. There never was a real moment where I thought 'now is a good time to add it to CAPS' so I figured after a little market-correction is as good a time as any.

Apart from being the best cell-phone carrier in the world, through its 45% stake in Verizon you get to benefit from that company as well. Verizon would like to buy back their stake, but so far Vodafone thought the price was not right, and I agree. Verizon is also a true cash-cow. In case Vodafone sells their Verizon stake it's maybe time to recconsider, but until then I think this is a good investment two excellent businesses.
