Now for the portfolio...
1) Verizon at $31.28, down 5.10% for the year. As I have been talking about all year, there was some clamoring this week regarding the iPhone coming to Verizon this year. This would certainly be great news for both Apple and Verizon, and I am excited about the prospects going forward for both stocks.
