Re: VZ vs BCE ... Speaking for myself only, I don't own VZ for capital appreciation, there are other companies I own for that. To me it's the safety of the dividend that matters to me. There is a site called Simply Safe Dividends where they provide dividend safety ratings from 1-100 with 100 being Very Safe. Simply Safe Dividends gives VZ a dividend safety rating of 87 (Very Safe). ... The payout ration is just 48%. Simply Safe Dividends gives BCE a dividend safety rating of 42 (Borderline Safe). ... The payout ratio is 108% according to the site. So in my case, and again speaking for myself only, I prefer the dividend safety of VZ. If I was looking more for cap appreciation from a telecom company, then BCE would appear to be the better choice. I prefer to look for cap appreciation elsewhere than telecom. In this sector, dividend safety is my priority objective.
