Once and for all... what I do and why I think VZ will not hold #1
Funny....you guys do not respond to my reasons for enjoying Verizon's slip. Nor do you respond to the numbers I posted and post again here reflecting my predictions and yes my vested interest in Verizon's losing the number one spot.
So I will repost for those who have a question about my "interest" in this company and what I do.
I am on the INTERNET from 9-4 most days as I trade securities for much of my living. I can do that because I am a professional entertainer who travels extensively and I only work 15 minutes a night in a show. I am on the net in the dressing room as well. Thats why I can post all hours of the day. Incidentally my father owned 15 big rigs and hired drivers so I am familiar with that business and know many there...

YOu have no clue..all you can do is cut and paste information you can not understand.

This information was pasted so that others can see that you are full of crap, not that they didn't already know. I am glad to see that you have been using windows to prepare your posts so that you can grammar check before you copy and paste into this forum!! The make up lady at your clown show revue must have clued you in on that one. 🤣 🤣

Good post...very informative. Learned a lot of stuff about You and the reasons "market-wise" why you did the things you did...and if you're being truthful, then my apologies for some of the things I said previously.
Question...Are you with Cingular (phone-wise) just because of how they are performing in the stock market, past, present and future? Wouldn't you want to be with the company that would be the better performer as far as performance, call connectivity, call quality, etc. (I know, I know...just my opinion!) What if something happened to Cingular in the future...like if they took a plunge. Would you jump ship and utilize another cell phone company? Just wondering.
Thanks again.
Chris

No, you live on the computer. You once blasted me in a thread and said you used more minutes in a night than I use in a year, you sure do change your story a lot. I am glad to see that you might actually have a high school education, your posts over the last two days have been a great improvement, that is if your mom isn't helping you with them.

You know what... It may be the industry taking it's toll on me... But frankly... I no longer care who has #1
Customers hate us all as an industry, we all hate our customers regardless of the carrier we're with... And every carrier offers something the other doesn't.
This whole thread is a waste.

Thanks Kingfrog! If I do choose to try out Cingular in May...will be looking for a good performing, but non-camera/non-PTT-text phone. Just interested in a phone being a phone. Would want it to be "global" or tri-band at least so I can use it in Europe later this year. Thanks again.

I don't use the cameras in the phones either. I have a 5 MP digital camera thats smaller then my phone.(Canon Elf) but I really like the Sony T637. In fact Im buying another as a back up. I always had a moto flip, but I like the bar now. Key lock is perfect on the bar phones and it rests easy between the chin and shoulder in a pinch. Also dont need those belt pouches as the phone is so small and thin the pocket is a fine "carrying case". In the car BT is excellent and syncing with outlook is a breeze as well.
The only problem I do get with Cingular and only here in Myrtle Beach is sometimes I get an echo of my own voice...But I put that in the category of "the technology is not perfect" and can live with those frailities on occasion. I d...

Thanks! I also like the "thinness" and small size of the bar-style as well...but as I statee in another post, my only concern is that since the receiving mic is further away from the mouth, would it pick-up more background noise. Otherwise, I always carry my phone in my pocket, that's why I have flip (LG-4500), but then with the locking feature of the bar phones, it doesn't seem like it would be an issue.
I sometimes get that echo too...so I think all cell phone companies and phones do that.
Myrtle Beach? Is that in San Luis Obispo County? My Aunt lives in Grover Beach. Just curious as I go down to visit her quite frequently. I live in Oakland...so wondering how coverage is in the East Bay.

This post probably belongs on another thread, but it's just another opinion, so enjoy it or lambast it all you want.
Well it’s time I jumped in on a conversation. Where I live, Sacramental, everyone has a cell phone. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a cell phone, and I know lots of people, and they don’t know anyone who doesn’t either. The market is saturated, and churn is what’s bringing in new customers. My local Cingular store was selling like gangbusters til mid-February when the rate plans changed (increased). A lot of folks were trying a new carrier, a new phone, or getting a backup phone. It’s mostly been a ghost town at Cingular since. Around then Verizon started their fantastic two line $59 family plan and business got back...

Thanks for the info and feedback! May I ask why you prefer bar-style over flip? Isn't it better to have the mic closer to your mouth in regards to background noise? But bar phones seem to be less hassle to answer, etc. Your feedback please! 🙂 🙂

I do not think the mouth piece has to be EXACTLY over the mouth. My BT headset proves that in spades. Thats old school thinking. The mics in these phones are not very directional and are pretty sensitive. I like the bar as its thinner and no need for a case. Pocket is fine. I use BT or the wired headset and answer via voice or button. Neve touch the phone. No opening and closing the shell.
People have not had any issues hearing...

Just an FYi Kingfrog, and u can go the Securities website to find this:
Baiting (ie causing any fluctuation) a stock in any form in an open media venue is a direct violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
With your vast knowledge of the stock market (E*Trade probably) I would have thought you would know this.
I would tread lightly because if VZ has an attorney with too much time on his hands...

That attorney is laughing at you son.

yea, i am laughing at him too. hahahhahah. as long as one doesnt give inside information, that isnt posted anywhere, than that is against SEC regulations.
...
oh puh-lease... lets not get into how stupid you sound and how stupid I've made u look.
...
you didnt make me look stopid what-so-ever. you have no idea what the SEC rules are when it comes to posting about stocks and companies. NO IDEA!

no duh... apparently you haven't read my other posts... it was to get flamers like you to bite... and the 2 biggest flamers... Kingfraud and you did...
🤣
🤣

If and when the day comes when I can singly CAUSE VZ or any stock to go up or down by my word alone, well I will buy a hedgefund and do it legally LOL
YOU need to brush up on your mail order paralegal classes. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Oh btw Kingfroggy... I don't know a thing about the SEC or baiting stocks... I just typed that to see how long it took you to respond... I don't even read your posts.
To be honest, I don't know why but for some reason I just despise you as a human being... like if you were choking and I was the only person there to give you a heimlich, I'd say "Wow, that person is choking..." and keep on drinking my pint.

Yeah I know..you "ment" to do that. Keep drinking those pints.....Although your reality is well deserved I'm sure..

LOL, that you keep responding helps re-assure what I have had originally posted.... YOU HAVE OCD.
Other than that get laid because you have way to much time on your hands.

Your right about one thing. I do have a lot of free time. Too much? Never. When you do what I do getting laid is not an issue. Neither is staying sober.

Oh god do you really think I care what you say? Yet u keep on posting... especially to shiiiteee I post knowing that my arse talks more than my mouth... OCD...

For starters, if you're shorting stock, you're not an investor, you're a speculator. In that case, P/E ratio should mean nothing to you because a relative indicator of the value of the company has little effect on short-term investor sentiment. And investor sentiment is what you are trading on, not company value.
What does have an effect on short-term investor sentiment is rumor and innuendo, M&A news and the occasional flips in quarterly reports. That's it.
For the long term investor, what matters are the fundamentals. Until you're able to read the balance sheet and cash flow statements and discover the hidden asset plays (like Verizon's trump cards in licensing), you're likely to have to be content with paltry gains.
