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.
