U-Haul is one of the most essential companies in the United States that has a number of customers who move on a constant basis.

The services include moving trucks, moving equipment, and self-storage for people needs to move furniture when in comes to moving to new places.

It continues to be an essential service that is used on a daily basis.

When asked about Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ), he said, “The fact is that we don’t want to buy a stock just for its dividend, but if it’s not growing. Verizon to me has lost its way, I don’t think its management is very crisp anymore, and I don’t care where you bought it, I care where it’s going, and I think it’s going nowhere.”

Verizon Communications has been one of the most reliable telecommunications company by customers across the United States for cell phone service and internet.

It continues to be one of the most preferred cell phone carriers among its competitors that includes T-Mobile and AT&T.

Verizon continues to have the best mobile service among its customers where T-Mobile partnered with Starlink for revitalizing cell phone service.

The “Mad Money” host said Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV) is a “good one, too, but Leidos Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LDOS), is my favorite.”

When asked about BP p.l.c. (NYSE: BP), he said, “I thought the earnings were a yawner. I do not buy stocks to yawn … I don’t think there’s anything there that is exciting.”
