This Trash‑Hauling Giant Could Be the Only Industrial Stock I'd Buy and Never Sell

Industrial stocks tend to be very cyclical. Their revenues and stock prices typically rise during an economic expansion and fall during a recession. That cyclicality makes them more difficult to buy and hold long-term, since it often makes sense to sell when the economy appears to be nearing a cyclical peak.
However, garbage collection tends to be a relatively resilient business. That's why trash-hauling giant WM (NYSE: WM) might be the only industrial stock I buy and hold forever.

Long-term investing is the key to sustainable returns in the stock market, but sometimes it can backfire spectacularly. For example, if you purchased $1,000 of Carnival Corp.

That means more than a decade of growth and billions in stock buybacks essentially evaporated during the coronavirus pandemic.
The good news is that Carnival's
