In this turbulent environment, Cramer said that there are a few stocks investors can own and he mentioned Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) among them.

“So what made this list so far? Right now there’s peace among the phone companies. The big price war seems to be a thing of the past. That means you can own both Verizon and AT&T. Both have good yields. Both are reporting better-than-expected earnings. They’re worth owning because their businesses have very little cyclicality. So that’s the paradigm, okay?”

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) provides communication, technology, and entertainment services to individual customers, companies, and government organizations. Its offerings include wireless plans, internet access, and traditional phone services. During March 11’s episode of Squawk on the Street, Cramer remarked:

[On Q1 guidance and recent results] “Well they had a decent quarter last time. So I think that’s interesting. I think that it’s probably an over reaction because people don’t like that dividend versus where bonds are. But interest rates yesterday were terrific for the market but no one really wanted to care. Because people say well that’s just flight to safety. I don’t give a. . .I’m sorry, darn, you know what’s going on… “Verizon’s not. Verizon was more competitive last quarter.” So that’s one to watch.”
