description: "$Coca Cola(KO.US) and $Diageo(DEO.US) both rose slightly by one or two points today, while $Verizon(VZ.US) and $Charter Comm(CHTR.US) also edged higher.

Telecom stocks like $Verizon(VZ.US) and $Charter Comm(CHTR.US), which usually get little attention, have instead become ballast in the volatile market."
