Try building a competing hazardous-waste incinerator. That’s where the $CLH thesis starts. Clean Harbors owns the facilities, holds the permits and handles waste that customers need properly treated. Q2 revenue reached $1.74 billion, up 12%. Net income rose 34%. The facilities are expensive to build and operate, and environmental compliance adds another hurdle. An unpleasant job can make a very interesting business.

The National Weather Service is forecasting hazardous beach conditions along the entire California coastline. Large waves, strong rip currents, and unpredictable sneaker waves can pull people into the water. Cal OES urges anyone visiting or living near the coast to stay off rocks and jetties, remain out of the water, and monitor local weather alerts and instructions from local officials. These hazardous conditions are being caused by powerful swells generated by Hurricane Genevieve, as it moves away from California.
