Steady price appreciation and high dividend over a number of past years. Water infrastructure throughout the world is becoming more important and improving safety standards will drive the need for continual upgrades.

As of today (6/26), this pick is down more than 15%. Does this worry me? No, it has prompted me to buy some shares for my real-world account. Commodities may come and go, and who's to say that petroleum products won't be regarded 50 years from now th...

I'm getting in on this 5 star CAPS stock while it is setting 52 week lows. This global waste management company is trading at good value metrics (P/E 18.10, P/S 0.56, P/B 2.41) and has solid financial strength (Quick .90, Current 1.0).
