Re: Greedy Investors
Your ring is only half way complete.
You, *A* consumer may believe you care, but many others don't care. Many consumers care about price ONLY and nothing more. So, you are fighting with your fellow consumers.
Those that pay into 401k and others - how do you know you are investing in Verizon? Your money could be in C&H Sugar for all you know, or Home Depot.
There are investors that own more shares that could choke you as compared to your few hints of shares that MAY or MAY NOT be in your 401K or other holdings.
Now, enough of the refuting the 'cute & witty' postings...
Maybe, just MAYBE, it would be nice if Verizon offered the choice of the existing install at a premium or the cheaper method. However, again, it's all about bulk buying power. If enough people don't want the old fashion style install, then the old way of installing goes even higher.
As long as the product works, why should anyone care? Down the road when more and more people install FiOS and the product becomes a regular staple in the Verizon product line, down the road I am sure that installs will go back to the way they once were.
If you want Verizon to be successful with FiOS, they need to make it financially viable.
Those that want it the other way and want it cheap too remind me of the spoiled brat snot nosed kids throwing a temper tantrum because Mommy won't buy them the unaffordable $150.00 Nikes like everyone else has over the $60 Nikes that she can in fact afford. IOW - stop your whining. |

Morningstar.com can tell you how much of each companies stock is in a mutual fund. Try out their portfolio tool: »portfolio.morningstar.com/NewPor···MSTAR#TB
Other investor sites have the same tools available.

| I know... I was making a blanket statement to what was more than likely a blaket statement itself.
The OP may very well have a bit of Verizon in his 401k port. but as compared to what a normal investor may have invested in the company is usually very very little. More so, riding on the coat tails to make a long term, VERY long term, safe return on a little money. The big boys are the ones taking the real risk with real shares, and not the mutual funds. |
