By: Richard_Shaw
Those investors who are skeptical about dividends from the major telecoms AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ), point to the declining wireline revenues as a factor putting the sales growth and dividend stream at risk.

How they managed to do this might require the skills of a Sherlock Holmes in unraveling a labyrinthian maze. A description of the end game follows: About a year ago, the directors of Uranium One listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange as UUU and on the Nasdaq as SXRZF were abruptly informed by the Kazakhstan Government that their uranium properties were to be expropriated. The directors immediately flew out to the capital for an emergency meeting.Read full article... Read full article...
