I was jumping in at $39 but already with caution because it was rising nicely from $30 and so I was expecting a definite top, but it looks like not and so I'm happy with the green. Otherwise I don't have this business anymore either.
Waste Management
This company specializes in waste collection, treatment, disposal and recycling and is one of the largest waste management companies in the US.
Overall, I see potential with this company as people will produce trash all the time and I like that this company focuses quite a bit on recycling as well.

I'm starting to like this company a lot too. I registered it when it was somewhere around about $150, but my attention was pulled elsewhere at the time, big shame. I think about what you write and the truth is that unfortunately man produces an infinite amount of waste and so the byznis it will always be big and the more greedy man is to be a consumer, the more waste he leaves behind. Plus the fact that they recycle and then turn it into energy, so with the development of technology to make it as green as possible I see a future in that too, making energy from waste. As you say though, a lower price would be a hell of a lot better, it's pretty near the top now.
Stocks from the banking sector are not as stable, but I see potential here.
I was looking at $BAC stock today and I see that the stock is really low right now. I plan to do some more detailed analysis on $BAC, however the price is low and unless I come across something I don't like, I would definitely buy a few shares.
...
The$BAC is Buffett's top, he likes it a lot and believes in it, even though it's down now, he still holds it and so I hold it too and i'm overbought down now.
Investors, do you own or plan to include any Japanese stocks in your portfolio?
The most interesting and well-known Japanese companies :
Toyota motor
Sony
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone
Soft Bank
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group
Fast Retailing
Tokyo Electron Limited
Shin-Etsu Chemical
KDDI

I don't have individual ones, I follow ETFko but I haven't investigated this closely yet. But even Buffett is already pretty bullish on it so the potential is definitely there, but I'm still of the opinion that if I could, I'd go more into India.
I just had them in a post the other day, disregarding the moral aspect, the dividend more than great and hopefully I never had a red position with BTI.
The best known and most interesting stocks in the FTSE 100 index:
Vodafone Group
Rolls-Royce
BP
Royal Dutch Shell
Diageo
AstraZeneca
British American Tobacco
I don't really focus on UK stocks, but I think there are a few interesting stocks. I don't have any UK stocks yet, but I really like $BTI as I think people will keep smoking it and the stock is currently at a very nice price.
I was...

Nice growth, the last year has not been the best of times. It's also created a pretty cool opportunity.
