Telecom Continued

Verizon got slammed today on 4th quarter EPS reports and was down 4% in one day.  My question is how does a stock that has under-performed its sector for an entire year still get sold down on a quarter miss when the stock has been telling investors its a dog for all of 2016? Citigroup, Wells Fargo, FBR, HSBC all had buy/outperforms on the stock going into the Q call.  LOL

Usually this becomes the final push to flush out the remaining bag holders.  Watch for analysts to downgrade Verizon tomorrow and this can create opportunities.  Notice the ratio of VZ and the Telecom ETF IYZ chart below and the level trading beneath the "rejection" line.
