On tonight's MAD MONEY on CNBC, Jim Cramer reviewed some stock basics on risk profiling. He reviewed non-speculative companies for growth and value. He suggested you go to the most household names in the business. Value stocks are like Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T, Inc. (NYSE:T), according to Cramer. But he noted you can't just own stock in two telecommunications companies and think you are diversified.

The value stocks pay high dividends and have no longer seen raw rapid growth outside of wireless and VoIP and tertiary services. They are trying to grow but they have to keep raising dividends. They have enough yield support to keep them from falling out of bed. Out of the two stocks, Cramer likes AT&T better because there will be a lot less competition in the phone space. The lower yield may mean AT&T will more easily raise its dividends into the future.

I believe both AT&T & Verizon will prove to be growth stocks if they can figure out a way to build in a new revenue stream based on advertising . . . Look at Google

What is their new slogan? "Your WORLD delivered". Ask yourself which company could make that kind of statement and pull it off? AT&T. Look around you and read. What are they doing? they are getting ready to own every advertising avenue leading to every human on the planet. Gobble Gobble now..... Google has never been up against Ma Bell and she is out of her rockin chair and stronger than ever...the end
