Wondering if anyone else thinks both these stocks may be a decent buy at the current price or maybe one is better than the the other

1, TSV  rising and approaching 0
2, Using TDscan-both have walked across the Sahara desert 
3, Both above 30 linear regression
4, Both showed some price strength mid Feb
5, T at lower BB20 and VZ at upper BB20?? Not sure what to make of this??
6, MS rising 

Any thoughts??

they're at the lower end of their trading range, they pay a big dividend.  You won't get hurt with these, but I also wouldn't expect a big trade.

I would rank this as a very consersative trade.

On T, draw a trend line from 1/28 to 2/18, wait for price to break it without any serious deterioration of other signals (which is a bit redundant). VZ, a break above today's high would be a good conditional buy order. You're a great student Casita.

Thanks Ben and TD for your input.

Ben, I've read a bunch of your posts and have learned a lot from you. Yeah,not the most exciting stocks but  the dividends are both 6%+ so I can make some money as I wait for a 10% or so profit.

Tobydad, I've learned from the best and thanks for the encouragement!!!  I remember reading Worden notes a few months back with a roundtabler that showed his trendline method which he's had some success with. I've used it once before and it really seems to make some sense. Thanks for the help.

Steve

Bigblock, i have to agree with you to a point. Maybe these lines and indicators just make us feel better about a trade but don't really gives us an edge. Thanks for your reply.Steve

I like them both, I think you can buy the stock write a put (if it goes down buy some more)  and be happy all the way around.   -as long as the dividends aren't cut.
