Yes, it’s true that AT&T cut its dividend but you only presented half of the story. They also spun off the entertainment portion of the company in the form of Warner Brother Discovery stock when they cut their dividend. AT&T has come full circle…..first as AT&T, then divested into the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) and now back to AT&T. Neither Verizon nor AT&T are going anywhere. They’ve been around for decades and pay above average dividends. Are they a growth stock? No. Like Jawjateck said….they’re more like a bond. My mom used to call these types of stocks “little blue-haired lady stocks” because so many old women owned them solely for the dividend. I personally believe they don’t do any harm in someone’s portfolio, in moderation of course.

I’ve owned VZ for decades strictly for the dividends and have reinvested those dividends to purchase more shares of VZ. I own shares that cost me around $29 and others in the $60 range. For me, VZ is a dividend play and nothing more. It provides me with $6,000 annually to spend as I choose. As long as the dividend holds I’m good with VZ. I certainly don’t consider it a growth stock. Im not sure what your financial goals or needs are but owning VZ at its current price seems like a conservative investment and would be a nice addition to a diversified portfolio.

Why do I feel the need to get a red pencil out and start grading this thread for punctuation, grammar, double negatives, word selection, etc?

I’m not trying to scare him away. I just like to know whom I’m dealing with.

Mocha…….Jarrod…….Tallmuscl37. Do I have this correct?

Looks like a giant life saver piece of candy to me. The color fits a desert landscape. I like the front of the sculpture, the back side not so much. In the context of an AIDS memorial I’m prone to think it represents the circle of life.

I read the comments left by the 19 reviewers. He must have at one time been into escorting because the reviews describe in detail what transpired in his client meetings…..great kisser, fucked like a champ, big dick, etc. One other item I noticed was that one of the reviewers referred to him as Alessandro. That review was from 2019 so he has probably changed his name.

I suspect there are several members here that have a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 but I doubt many have an income of more than $1,000,000. I can think of a couple of Forum members who routinely let us know how much money they spend on providers. More power to them. I’m envious. In the meantime I’m content to be able to afford to lay on the beach, enjoy warm tropical breezes and cool waves from time to time.

I’m waiting for my capital gains distributions in December and will then cash out of the market and take my very substantial gains from the past two years. I’ll then take a wait and see stance for the next several months. Proposed tax cuts, possible tariffs with accompanying inflation and a ballooning federal deficit don’t bode well in my estimation. At my age I’m looking for capital retention. I’m too old to weather another recession. Only time will tell. I’m taking care of me the best I know how. My financial journey is different from everyone else’s. Will the market hit 44,000? Again, time will tell.

Who is this guy?

I was a licensed massage therapist in Texas several years ago and draping was not required. The client was free to choose if he wanted draping. Unless they’ve changed the law in Texas the LMT and client can agree to what draping the client wants. Of course, the therapist must be clothed. I will research Texas law again to make sure and report back. Reporting back….Texas law requires clients to be draped when receiving a massage in a licensed massaged establishment (think Massage Envy types of businesses). A LMT who conducts business as a sole proprietor is exempted from draping requirements.

Thank you for clarifying that for me @Charlie. That’s very interesting and good to know.

I plead total ignorance on purchasing real estate in Palm Springs but I had a conversation many years ago with a friend of mine who indicated that while you may purchase a home there you may not be purchasing the land it sits on. You actually sing a multi-year lease or something like that. My recollection is that this has something to do with tribal lands. Someone who is more familiar with this topic hopefully will clarify this.

After reading his profile narrative I’d swear he was referring to his encounter with @Handsome_btt Sorry you had such a bad experience @Handsome_btt

That was me. I still do that. If nothing happens, I throw the information away when I get home. If the worst should happen the appropriate people know where to start.

Thanks for explaining that to me. It makes sense to me now. I don’t use Apple Pay or PayPal so wasn’t aware of how those systems worked. I do use Zelle periodically and like how that works.

https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/biggest-us-banks-gearing-up-for-paze-digital-wallet-marketing-campaign-82239264 I received an email from credit card company JPMorgan Chase about an upcoming new feature they’re going to be implementing called Paze. After reading the article in the link above I’m still not sure I understand the benefits of this new offering. Can someone explain to me in layman’s terms how this works and how it’s different from a regular credit card transaction?

Just an observation here and certainly no reflection on his escort skills but if you’re going to post pictures of yourself in a speedo thong it would be preferable to remove the sales tag from the thong before you take the picture. Surely he wasn’t thinking of returning t this swimwear, was he?

When I viewed his profile there had been 162 views and he had been a member on RM for 8 hours. I’m going to keep a watch on this guy. He’s exactly the kind of man that floats my boat. It’s doubtful any Forum members have engaged his services yet but you never know.

Love the ink.

Is this guy Australian? I subscribed to a Dan Saxon’s Only Fan’s site for a month. He sure looks familiar to me.

https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=IA I live in Iowa and decided to check out current gasoline prices to prices from a year ago. Surprisingly to me the per cost of gallon of gasoline dropped more than 50 cents over that time frame. And I just renewed my auto insurance…..$5.00 more than six months ago. The state of Iowa has also exempted nearly all income for senior citizens. An added bonus is that my portfolio has increased over $100K in 12 months. Not everyone is experiencing this doom and gloom people are talking about. I’m not saying everyone is experiencing what I’m experiencing but things are getting better from where I sit. Yes, there is much to do on the inflation front but it appears to me we are heading in the right direction.

I occasionally peruse Chaturbate to see if there’s anyone who piques my interest. Recently, I’ve discovered if I come across a popular guy on Chaturbate and don’t want to wait around for hours until he finally blows his load, you can google the guy’s name and more often than there are videos that have been uploaded to porn sites of their cum shows. Saves me waiting around for what seems like an eternity to see the final explosion.
