Portfolio down 3% this morning and still down 3% end of day. At least I got good entry prices for Uber and RDDT. Hedging with RSG, WM, BRKB, Healthcare and REIT stocks in the past week helped a lot. Currently around 85% Tech stocks/Tech dominant ETFs and 15% defensive.
Quite crazy how much low beta stocks have declined. Even waste management stocks like RSG down -20%.
Bought RSG and WM yesterday. Looks like a good move. Everything else in my portfolio is deep red premarket except REITs.
Anyone buying trash companies like RSG?
RSG is certainly AI-proof. "Will NVIDA keep giving at least 20% annual returns like it historically has done for the past 10 years" I've owned NVDA for years - for the company to get back to my cost basis it would have to be in financial trouble. It's been a particularly amazing stock for the last few years, but before that I sat through more than one 50%+ drawdown. You had close to a 40% drawdown earlier this year. It's currently a 4.5T company. Do I think it will continue to be a good company? Yes. Do I think it will repeat this run and become a 9T company? No. Too many people think the market of the last 5 years can continue indefinitely and everyone is all-in on the same stocks. I trimmed a bit of NVDA last year, trimmed a bit more this year. Do well while this unusually fantastic period for investing continues but I just think people shouldn't get too into the mindset that the escalator up goes to the moon. Twice in the last 5 years (2022, 2025) people gave a lot of the fantastic gains from the prior two years back in a hurry and how many people sold at some point in those declines and didn't buy back, or wound up buying back higher eventually? "dividend ETF" I don't think you should go with a dividend etf either. IMO, create a diversified portfolio that has a portion devoted to aggressive growth themes/names, but don't make it every single stock that everyone else has. Find 1-2 things that are the next thing. That's a portion of your portfolio and if it's a portion of your portfolio then it forces you to be selective rather than buying every growth stock that sounds interesting. Take the other portion of your portfolio and find high quality/slow growth (preferably buying when the names are oversold/temporarily out of favor) and maybe a value idea or two. This portion of your portfolio is the foundation - steady, high quality, well-managed companies that have delivered year in/year out for years. Not something as conservative as KO, but to use the example of RSG, something like that. SPGI, AXP, CBOE, MA, JPM, etc. etc (not necessarily those but something along those lines.) These are probably not going to be that exciting, but when the market turns, you're going to likely lose less here. The lowered volatility of this side of your portfolio offsets to some degree the likely higher volatility of the other side. When the market isn't "growth stocks only go up", you'll be happy that you have at least some buffer rather than a portfolio full of highly speculative growth names that are going to lose half the next time there's a 2022 or early 2025. You're talking about the very long-term (which is good! too many people have turned too ultra short-term with investing) and I think what I'm trying to suggest is how do you create something broadly that you can stick with through good times and bad (and there will absolutely be other bad market times in the years ahead.)
$RSG and $WM has outperformed the SP500 the last decade, when all else fails, garbage is there to pick you up.
What's next? Republic Services (RSG) to make deal with OpenAI, so we'll have AI-powered dumpsters 😒
OP if it makes you feel any better I lost 90% of my wealth in 2008-2009. I was in high school and saved $13k from selling candy and having part time jobs. I invested into two stocks ACAS - American Capital Strategies a mezzanine financing company that lended money to various small/midsized businesses (roughly $10-$100 million in assets) and based out of Bethesda Maryland and EXM - Excel Maritime Carriers a dry bulk ocean shipping company based out of Greece (the country). Both proceeded to shit the bed. You have to diversify and buy lots of different companies. Maybe try buying SPY. If not you have to start investing for the long term into some safer companies like: CAT, CSX, ORCL, BX, MCD. Here are a few more: MSFT, XOM, PEP, BK, and RSG. Good luck, you can recover from your losses. If nothing else, just buy SPY (the entire S&P 500), and never sell, no matter what. Set it to dividend reinvest.
V,RSG,ORLY but all trading at a premium rn.
RSG and WM still green. Great defensive stocks.
Not OP but that flood of cash into defensives (WM, RSG, UNH for example) and into gold and silver last minute before the long weekend tells me something fucky is about
If NVDA does well on their earnings, probably. It would be if it can hold it that is the issue. Their high debt load in a time of uneasiness would keep making it drop any time the market is spooked by the AI bubble popping. If you believe in sector rotation correlated to the market cycle, then this stock will lose a lot of institutional investors who would flock to financials, utilities, and things like WM/RSG.
Thanks. Maybe I'm too early to reduce, maybe I'm wrong, etc but I think post-covid, the market has changed. A theme like AI infrastructure plays out faster than it would have previously. What is hot gets hotter quicker than ever and overheats more frequently than ever and what's cold gets colder than ever before - cheap now gets much cheaper. The lack of focus on valuation during the "stocks only go up" periods also makes it feel like there's far less friction behind a rise - you get almost a smooth escalator for hot growth stocks, not a "stair step" higher. When markets do well enough for long enough, people often eventually get complacent and go 100% risk-on. When the turn happens, so many people are already "dialed to 11" so their only option is to de-risk. "Escalator up" (2020-21, 2023-24, 2025 post April low) then "elevator down (2022, early 2025.) The elevator down isn't something of the magnitude of 2008 by any means, but it does feel a lot more 'puke-y" than corrections of the past and the declines aren't across the board. Some things did very well in early 2025 when a lot of popular growth cratered, some things (energy, for example) did well in 2022. Recent significant declines have not been across the board. In terms of AI, there are names I bought or added to in April that I'm already trimming. Many people are all in or all out, but with something thematic like AI infrastructure, for me it's optimally get in early (there was a point in early 2023 when I'd mention something like VST on r/stocks and the response would be crickets, because at that point people were only interested in tech plays on AI, not power ones), enjoy a good run, eventually trim after the easy money has been made (once you start to see ETFs made for a theme, it's not over but it's no longer early) and continue on with a smaller holding at a low cost basis. I've owned NVDA for years and have sold a bit in the last year or so and am keeping the remainder at a cost basis where the company would have to be in financial trouble to get back there. The easy money has been made imo, but the story is not over. Trim here, trim there, reduction there and the sum of all that is eventually re-deployed to whatever I think is the next theme or, if a compelling one isn't apparent and/or other current themes in the portfolio aren't things I want to currently add further to, that money is often then re-deployed into quality/consistency/slower but not totally boring (something like RSG would be an example.)
RSG’s revenue growth is slowing down. WM’s is actually increasing until at least 2027 (according to their investor day presentation).
Actually, I remembered this wrong. I thought RSG had a lower variance (or IV) but they are both similarly low with RSG showing an IV of 20 and WM 19. WM is the largest waste management provider in the US, Republic Services (RSG) is second. Over the past 5 years, WM returned 105%, RSG returned 160%. I’m holding neither of these so no idea what the outlook is. If you look at a graph, both seem to perform well in inflationary periods, too. I recommend doing thorough research on both companies if you’re interested in this kind of stock.
Don't know too much about either. Are you suggesting RSG for it's price variance?
In this department, RSG appears to be the much better stock. Much higher return while maintaining lower variance over the past 5 years.
RSG, ABBV, WMT Fund-wise BRW (Saba Capital Income & Opportunities Fund) is an interesting CEF that has done pretty well since Saba Capital took it over and changed the fund entirely in 2021. It lost 4% in 2022 when the market was tanking and lost comparatively less than the market when the market was tanking in 2025, yet has also done pretty well when the market has.
". I know this may not be a huge amount" A lot of people post on here about "I know it's not a lot" - in my opinion even if you start with $100 in the market, it's $100 that you didn't have working for you yesterday. $8K is definitely a good place to start. "What stocks (or sectors) would you consider “safe” or reliable for someone with a long-term investment mindset? An appealing safer area to me is something like garbage (RSG, WCN, WM, GFL, etc) - a lot of regulatory barriers, highly necessary, isn't going to get disrupted anytime soon and has pricing power (and has certainly shown that over time.) But even something relatively safe like that can be expensively valued at times and while it's safe, it's not entirely recession proof (if a lot of businesses close in a recession or are shut down in something like 2020, that volume isn't there.) So to me that's an example of "relatively safe" - the kind of thing that consistently delivers over long periods, can raise prices with inflation and isn't going to get disrupted any time soon but isn't *so* safe that it's like watching paint dry. Someone could make a portfolio that puts a lot of emphasis on slower/quality growth and some emphasis on a carefully selected aggressive growth name or two so that you can feel you can have some participation in those growth themes if they keep continuing higher over time.
been rollin in RSG for years it's time to shine baby
BWXT and RSG earning coming up on the next few days!! Both are strong energy/nuclear outperforming the market! Strong opportunity for secure 5-10% growth. https://preview.redd.it/73k65xf388gf1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53440c088cb94624f3a5ec9fd4fbabcc08bec616
Remember when you could trade RSG for btc back in the day 🤫🤫😅
Not a bad choice but the much better stock is RSG.
I feel good about GLD at a.under 50 purchase price I also feel WM & RSG are hidden gems in my books
Pretty easy to outperform the S&P 500, if you buy at the right time, and don't panic sell. Some Individual stocks are a lot more volatile so you'll see a lot more up and down. Personally for individual stocks I like PM, RSG, AMZN, GOOG. I bought a lot of Tesla when it was down the other day and panic sold, if I would have held it for a few days I would have been up 5%
Put it in there, you're going to get 4% from spaxx anyway. Then youll have cash available so can purchase lump sums on down days if you want, but it will likely increase over time. Maybe look into some other things instead of the S&P. Garbage industry is doing great right now. RSG 25% annual returns
Trash companies perform well over time , look at WM, WCN, RSG etc. Do your own research though
Sounds like you're doing really well for someone your age, don't jump on to high value type stocks, look for stuff that has good returns over the years not just spikes. Check out RSG (garbage) 25% return yearly
I'm definitely new but doing really well this year, I've been checking the S&P on my buy days (Wed/Thursday) I see which stocks are down that day, I look at the graphs and I see if the company is super volatile or if it looks healthy (RSG, AMZN. For example) then I'll buy as much as I have in my account, I wait for a decent return, then I sell and reinvest the money elsewhere. As of right now I don't want to continue buying index funds with the amount of volatility in the market, they're basically just stagnant and will be for the foreseeable future. If I can get an 11% return and a month instead of a year I'm happy with that. YMMV
Walmart (WMT), John Deere (DE), Republic Services INC (RSG), Procter and Gamble (PG), Microsoft (MSFT).
Fire your planner, he's robbing you. Open a Fidelity account , link your bank and buy some FXAIX(0$ transaction fees, low expense ratio), while it sits in cash you'll make 4% either way.. also look into some healthy growth stocks like RSG (Republic services,)
Some people are getting recession yippy. Bonds (TLT/IEF) are outperforming the SPY/QQQ. Recession defensive stocks (WM, RSG, LMT, KO, DPZ, DG) are all pretty damn green
Looks like some whales are getting a little more defensive. Bonds (TLT/IEF) are outperforming the SPY/QQQ. Recession defensive stocks (WM, RSG, LMT, KO, DPZ, DG) are all greener than SPY while many growth stocks are in the red.
All the recession defensive stocks in my watchlist are on the top of it today (DG, LMT, KO, WM, RSG, DPZ)
Yeah, the big brain plays can be so hit and miss. They just teach us humility and why diversifying is important lol. What I’ve learned is healthcare is not my sector. Every time I’ve tried anything health care related, it takes too long to go green or get a nice profit. A few times have been quick profits like the BDX and ZBH recoveries after their earnings. Others are like UNH. I have better luck with financials, tech, utilities, and consumer staples right now. Yesterday’s surge I saw most of my defensive holdings drop a lot so people could make quick tech plays it looked like. So I picked up more RSG, WM, AWK, SO, and DUK. If they go down lower after all the reports we get this week, I’ll buy some more. But I’m expecting a switch back to defensive stocks going up if any of these reports cause investors to become bearish. I personally think today was a bull trap and we will hit a bear market if store shelves start emptying out nation wide.
Buy some RSG as trash never goes out of style.
Or RSG, both will continue to chug.
I've said lately that I think there's a good chance the playbook that people relied upon for the last dozen or so years (mega cap tech: "collect 'em all", etc) will not be able to be relied upon to the same degree in the years ahead. Just gets downvoted. Reddit has become a much worse place for investing discussion since covid - there was always a focus on a dozen or two popular names, but that's gotten worse and anyone who offers anything slightly contrary to the broader view is just downvoted and there's often no discussion. "now that the strategy isn't working anymore with increased political uncertainty and volatility" During the late 90's tons of money piled into the US chasing the dot com boom. Post dot com bust, money headed back the other way and you saw the dollar index go from 120 in 2002 to 70 in 2008. Since 2020, you've had money pile into the US chasing first the disruptive growth bubble and then AI. I think the AI theme clearly started to erode (Stargate announcement in January feels like it was the top for the data center theme) and money gradually headed in the other direction, then that was massively accelerated by the tariff situation. There are things doing well this year, but they are domestic names with pricing power and generally sturdy/boring businesses - look at RSG up 22%. You had different leadership in the market post dot com and I think the foreseeable future might be some variation on that.
RSG doing much better actually last few years. not sure why
There are stocks doing well, but they're just not the stocks that have done well for the last dozen years. Look at the garbage names, RSG up 20% YTD. MCK up 20%. CME/CBOE/ICE up YTD as volatility beneficiaries. I've said lately on here - not going to be a popular opinion - it feels like we're heading into (if not already in) an environment where what did well post dot com (2002-2007) might be the place to be for the foreseeable future unless something materially changes. You saw the dollar index go from around 120 to 70 in 2002-2008 post dot com as a lot of the money that went into the US during the late 1990's reversed after the dot com bust. Now we're getting into a situation where the AI theme is faltering and on top of that, the tariff situation is sending money elsewhere. The dollar index has gone from 110 to 99 YTD and I think that's creating forced selling by foreign investors who have the double whammy of a tanking index and a tanking dollar. The tariff situation is terrible, but even before that there was commentary from Bessent about the economy needing a detox (Summer of 2024, he thought the economy was in more precarious shape then people realized) and then recently, his "Mag 7 problem" comment. Not saying I share these views, but it does feel like the administration even before tariffs felt that - for some reason - it needed to pre-emptively pop what it viewed as a bubble. That started a little bit before tariffs, but the tariff situation imo massively accelerated it in a way that was disorderly. People unwound a lot of US assets in the years post dot com, but in an orderly way. I think that there is certainly something to AI, but IMO it has become clear that it is not yet translating to results for a lot of companies. I often use the Adobe example, with them calling out $125M in AI-related ARR last quarter - that's not really moving the needle and even if that doubled, it's still not. We had a period where it felt like every week there was some new massive data center investment announcement that was bigger than the previous one. When did that stop? The giant Stargate announcement in January, which was the top. San Fran Fed, 2003: "From mid-1995 to its peak in early 2002, the trade-weighted nominal dollar appreciated by nearly 40% against a basket of major currencies. Since then, the dollar has retraced more than half of the earlier gains. A falling dollar suggests that foreign investors are unwinding some of their dollar-denominated portfolio holdings in order to seek higher returns elsewhere. While a weaker dollar helps stimulate U.S. exports, it can hurt growth in foreign countries that sell goods to the U.S. If a rapid, disorderly depreciation of the dollar were to occur, foreign investors would likely demand higher risk premiums for holding dollar-denominated assets. This development, in turn, could lead to lower stock prices and higher bond yields, thereby slowing the growth of domestic demand."

Definitively, the best positions to hold indefinitely would have to be an index, ETFs/mutual funds. Individual stakes solely? I would prefer to hold something that’s essential to daily living + functionality (a business that’s so simple, as Warren Buffett puts it, an idiot could run it. Because as some point things will be ran by one). Those businesses in my portfolio would be $WM, $RSG, __ , (or something with similar operations)… $TPL, $VIST, __ , (or something within physical assets such as land or oil) Do your own research, as this is not to be taken as recommendations — just transparent DD I’ve done recently that I care to mention.
Follow the big boys…RSG and WM are tariff proof. I’m personally looking to add to NVDA, SPYI and SCHD. Also confident GOOG and AMZN will come roaring back but I’m already set with them. Good times ahead.
Garbage companies. Try RSG or WM. These are recession, tariff proof companies.
I don't blame you but there are still winners right now. WPM, RSG, BRO, BJ, AJG, AZO, ORLY, GDX, IAU, OLLI Gold mining and insurance in particular.
WMT x 3, RSG, MSFT, BRK.B, GE (Aerospace), JPM, XOM, NVDA
WCN and RSG are great stocks with plenty of room to grow. I DCA as they can and will experience periods of volatility.
Currently, the only green on my 30+ stock watch list that covers several industries are the "recession-proof" stocks (WM, RSG, KO)
Full disclosure, I have literally only looked at yahoo finance charts, but trash/waste management companies seemed to not have completely collapsed through the 2008 hullabaloo (WM, RSG, WCN, etc.). The waste management business is interesting because they sort of operate as regional monopolies. As far as I know, Cities/governments generally contract with one company to handle things. That's another thing, businesses is predictable because they operate on contracts for x amount of years. Lastly, it does not matter what the economy is doing, there will always be trash that needs disposed of.
WMT, BRK/B, KO, PG, RSG. If you want me to dive deeper into why. All have preformed well even in bear markets and have also been around a long time with showing that being consistent is more important than rapid growth that can’t be sustained. Also these 5 stocks can hit important parts of peoples daily lives meaning the chances of them going anywhere would be slimmer then lets say a tech company. Backtesting 10 years and equal weight would have have given me better returns than the S&P 500 not by very much at only 2% averaged annually Return a year but with higher gains less of a drawdown and less volatility that would be the way I would go for individual stocks.
just pulled down their latest 10k. RSG's dbt/equity dropping/better and WM is getting much worse from what I see RSG 2023: 198% | 2024: 184% WM 2023: 376% | 2024: 440% I'm not good enough quite honestly to understand anything else, i.e. truly dig deeper into their numbers or whatever. But this could be it. WM has twice the debt/equity ratio and they are going into more debt. RSG is going the other way. On a different note, a couple years ago I checked a bunch of reits. Their fwd yields actually tracked with the debt/equity ratios!! Not sure if that holds true, but this one statistic is pretty powerful. I learned it from reading Peter Lynch's book...
Same! Right there with you - I own both and, right now I'm kind of contemplating switching it all to RSG lol
I only picked up on RSG about a couple of weeks ago and was wondering the same thing. The only basic things I saw was RSG's debt/equity ratio was better/lower. Its market cap is also a bit smaller, right now. So maybe it had an easier time growing?? So, not really sure...
Made over 100k during the dot com era in college…had about $125k from mere $10k and thought I was the shit. Was gonna just quit school and trade stocks full time. Obviously, it blew up and lost it all. It was many many many sleepless nights needless to say. I quit the market cold turkey…not paying attention to the financials. Of course I had zero dollar to my name so that helped. Came back in 2005 and was doing good until the 2008 wipe…. Instead of doing options, I started just buying shares of companies that I could still see kicking and screaming, like Visa, American Express, garbage company RSG and just gradually gravitated towards more stable company and eventually to ETF like VOO and QQQM. I now have a 7 figure investment account looking towards 8 figures in few years, even with the recent market crash. Point is….it sucks like bitch. No joke. But you WILL get over it and you have TIME on your hands. Just stay out of the market for few years, and do a hard reset. The market will still be here and you can take a more calm and slow approach to your investment goals where you can sleep soundly at night REGARDLESS of what the market is doing.
Parked some cash in WMT, WM, RSG just in case
Someone on the other side of my trade about to be assigned 100 shares of RSG that they probably don’t want 
No prob. Trash (RSG/WM/WCN) is another recession resistant (you're going to lose but probably lose less than a lot of stuff) sector. Everyone needs to have their trash picked up, but if you have a bad recession and commercial properties are empty/closing/etc that's less trash pickup, or if you have a 2020 and so much is closed. C-stores do okay in recessions; if you look at CASY that lost in 2008 but not that badly. Couche Tard in Canada is a quality, well-run company down a lot lately (although if you buy the US symbol that ends with an F - and F means foreign ordinary - you have to be careful as some brokers charge a lot to trade foreign ords.) MUSA wasn't public in 2008 but did okay (at least compared to a lot of other things) in 2020. Maybe DG/DLTR finally bounce back if there was a recession. ABT would be another example of quality medical co that has done very well in recessions (although is up a fair amount lately.)
I was going to make a similar comment. I hold RSG in my portfolio.
Fidelity's Equity Summary Score vs. Post-Earnings moves (low ESS = bearish): ABNB: ESS 0.9 / AH +12% DKNG: ESS 0.2 / AH +7% AMAT: ESS 7.9 / AH -5% PANW: ESS 7.5 / AH -5% TWLO: ESS 8.8 / AH -5% COIN: ESS 2.2 / AH +2% ROKU: ESS 2.4 / AH +12% WYNN: ESS 0.4 / AH +1.3% RSG: ESS 6.4 / AH +2.4% (they at least got this one kinda right) Genuinely seems like inversing this ESS is the play going forward.

see how many regards downvoted my comment cus well this is WSB and all they know is spy and tsla. Many stocks opened green because they are safe money stocks like WM, RSG, O and best of all GLD etf. If the day is red for tech it's green for something else
Makes sense. WM has been losing contracts left and right. RSG & WCN growing more than YoY% and taking more market share.
FI WM RSG V WMT - I own them in my long portfolio and have done well.
So was RSG Both looking good
All Railroads and big garbage/recycling companies like WM and RSG that buy every competition. Amazon,Google,VISa,Mastercard,SPGI,MCO. To create a other company like them from scratch is basically impossible,it requires years of time and billions of investment at a lost for a few years.
RSG having your own landfills is owning a toll booth
RSG and WM all the debris will end up in their landfills and they own the toll booth.
Advertisement is only a small portion of their future revenue growth. These guys are collecting a ton of data and information on this site that could be sold in the future for a handsome return on investment. the reason why I would not want to get too carried away with it is because there is nothing stopping other competitors to enter this market. There were so many great companies over the years that have gotten eaten up by the whales. If you are lucky enough to be bought out, then that is good but if the market just naturally starts shifting to a new platform, the reddit might be history and Blueit my be king. I like buying stocks in companies I have bills with. Electric, cell, cable, water, trash. food, HealthCare, Shopping DUK, T. CMCSA. AWK, RSG, COSTCO. UHC, Amazon
Got most of my money in RSG calls and nvidia right now…🤡
What companies to look at if you want to invest in garbage management: 1. Waste Management ($WM) 2. Republic Services ($RSG) 3. Intel ($INTC) 4. Boeing ($BA)
dividends are pointless. Companies make better returns to shareholders via stock buybacks and reinvestments into their business Buy monopolistic stocks with solids dividends and good growth, if you seriously care about it MCO/SPGI Visa/Mastercard MSCI ODFL WM/RSG MSFT AAPL Google META
IONQ isnt there either, sometimes RSG isn't too.

Better trash company would be WM or RSG.
How are this RSG calls looking? Juicy?
Not my top but I really like WM and RSG, grew a lot recently, but I expect more over five years
My time horizon is years. But my biggest concern is why RSG and WM both went from flat growth for decades until 2013-2016 and sky rocketed. I can't find any good reasons looking back at old company/industry news.
I’ll keep this in mind for when markets open. Thinking of exiting CAT MAR FDX JNJ to reinvest into AAPL GOOGL LDOS RSG NVDA. With the ETFs I’ll probably just consolidate into VOO and MGK. Portfolio is worth a little more than 45k
RSG and CLH are my favorites, WM is good tho
I trade options and paying 50 cents a contract at etrade, and even with paying about a thousand on commissions this year, I just get better order fills. I can set a market order care free and my limit orders don't take tons of movement against my position to fill. Coinbase does this with crypto buyers. You pay the fee buy getting the shitty order fills (and they charge commission too). I buy and hold my RSG and VTI with vanguard so I can nibble and not pay fees.
Believe what you want. I've outperformed for 8 years simply buying ASML MSFT AAPL NVDA ORLY ODFL RSG etc. Take a look at the past 5 years performance of those stocks compared to VTI.
So utilities are different, think of them as a monopoly that the government allows to happen. Waste management companies, recycling companies, etc are not always like that. There are certainly scenarios where a garbage company wins a contract to be the exclusive service provider within a district for a number of years or something but that is not always the case. It is possible for more than one company to operate in a geographical zone and they can target different customer bases. They compete with one another for business. Some of them work with local governments, others work with small businesses, others work with individual home owners, others work with industrial waste or factories or have contracts with the government to dispose of stuff, even nuclear waste in some cases. Sometimes they are specialized, or maybe they are a large company that has various specialized units that are licensed to dispose of specific types of waste. From my research, which I admit is amateur at best and I am certainly not a professional investor in any way, some of these companies are run fairly responsibly. They are viewed as stable because they are not tightly correlated to “the market” (there are differing opinions on this and also instances where this is not true, historically). They (generally speaking) don’t have years where they go absolutely gangbusters (there are of course exceptions to this as well) but they also don’t have years where their business goes completely belly up (again, do research and see for yourself). They just consistently do “pretty well”. Also, it is a difficult business to break into (high cost of entry, etc), so the established players are pretty established. Think of it like Home Depot vs Lowe’s or Coca Cola vs Pepsi. They compete against one another. And as an investor, you can benefit from holding shares in both sides of this competition. When HD does well, generally Lowe’s is doing fairly well too; when one is not doing well, the same is generally true for the other. It’s the same theory. Buy WM and also buy RSG, WCN, or CLH.
yep. safe play for fairly reliable returns. $RSG is my play
RSG has a high P/E but i like them both because they’re scaling and acquiring well and have strong stances in their industries
RSG 180-210 Oct/Nov Expiration, HWM Jul/Nov Exp.. All calls 😎
Was I the only one who was watching RSG calls today?
