“Okay, then I’m going to tell you that I think Jim Fish is doing a remarkable job at Waste Management. And that’s one of the reasons why I’m putting him on tonight. Up ten dollars!”

The CNBC TV host continued to praise Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM) later in the day on Mad Money:

“Last night, we got an excellent quarter from WM, the garbage disposal operation/provider of comprehensive environmental solutions, formerly known as Waste Management. This company delivered a healthy top and bottom line beat, driven by strength in the core business, along with mostly positive guidance. That’s why the stock jumped more than 3% today… This one’s important because the garbage business can actually give you a great read on the economy.”
