3M shares are up more than 16% this year -.
Recently, this company has been facing many lawsuits and many indictments and because of that, $MMM stock is also down so much. A lot of people who bought $MMMstock obviously don't like these lawsuits and the falling stock, so they are thinking whether to sell 3M stock or still hold it.
I still hold 3M stock and I keep buying more every...

I'm watching them from afar. I found out about them here, as initially by all they do it looked good, but unfortunately those problems. I understand the popularity of those who hold them, but there are too many lawsuits and quite serious ones for me, what I've read has confirmed quite a lot of how it has affected health. There might be some of those expenses factored in, I might not see that as a bad thing, but especially what about reputation, I'd be more worried about a drop in orders.

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

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
For me, Japan is definitely fine for diversification and I think these companies are worth mentioning...

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.

I have $BAC and a little less in $JPM. I'm not going to buy any banks right now, I expect the Fed to keep raising rates, so for now I'm waiting to see where the market goes in the second half of the year.
