EKS, maybe you can help me out. I think WM is good long term, including dividend increases, and have put it into my daughters account for that reason. I only see myself as a value investor in that I like a bargain as much as the next guy. Buffet is, and has been high on RSG. When I look at the numbers, I don't get why. They have a much higher pe, minimal cash to high debt, Net Income Avl to Common (ttm): 380.80M / Total Debt (mrq): 7.12B. Levered free cash flow 60% of WM rate. I just don't get it. I must be missing something because of the two, WM seems a nobrainer to me.
