Stocks Of The Month: AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, WM

(you already know about NVIDIA (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA))

(and Apple (AAPL) deserves some of that iPhone X money)

(but what if I told you...that one of my best stocks is...garbage?)

Waste Management (WM) has outperformed the market over the short and long term...

WM 2 yr

WM 30 yr

...while paying a consistently growing dividend (currently yielding 2.1%); growing $14B in revenue at 7%, and earnings at 26%; and showing excellent profit (9%) and operating (18%) margins, return on assets (8%), return on equity (24%), and free cash flow of $1.6B.  Simply put, WM checks all the boxes.  (or, it's some real hot trash)
