Can't find a good reason why anyone would buy this.

Um, yeah. Usually I avoid companies with a P/E of 467. That's just a little too high, you know? I honestly don't see much of anything going for these guys. Margins are shrinking, the company is borrowing money, nothing that a P/E of even 30 could justify. To justify this super-high valuation, earnings need to rise quickly or the stock needs to fall. Folks, earnings aren't going to rise, this stock is going to fall.

"Casella to harness landfill gas" is all I needed to hear.

Casella is a waste disposal company, but they are working hard on a move to more recycling. Many companies are looking forward to "zero waste", so they need to reuse or recycle the things they can't eliminate altogether. Some folks a hoping to hit waste producers with fees, taxes, fines, so I think Casella might be ahead of the game if they come up with green solutions.
