It will take a couple of quarters to see the real effects of VSP

When the VSP was announced the stock price did rise, as it did when VZ 2.0 was announced. It may move again if total numbers of employees leaving due to the VSP are released to the press.

The long term effects of the VSP will not be felt for a quarter or two after employees are truly gone. Once VZ has a couple of quarters under its belt without the VSP'ers and under the new org. structure, investors will have a much better idea whether the company can still execute at or near the levels it did before. If they can I don't expect to see much upward movement in the stock, if they can't I expect to see it take a hit.

OK, here’s your 50¢ OP.

Now let me see the real effects of the VSP

I think the stick movement had more to do with down days in general for the market. Verizon is looked at like a utility /safety stock. When the market goes up, Verizon just sits there. When the market tanks, VZ typically gets a little pop.

Basically for institutions who want to get out from speculative stocks and move to the less risky "utility" stick that has a (or used to) nice dividend yield. I don't think the VSP announcement in and of itself did much With no VSP, the stick would have seen a temporary bump.
