  "account": "If you are concerned about an impending stock market crash, there are certain industrial stocks that may be worth considering. Waste Management (WM), Lockheed Martin (LMT), and Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) are three industrial companies that could potentially benefit during a market downturn. Waste Management collects trash and recycling, a service that remains in demand regardless of the economic climate. The company has recently acquired Stericycle, a major collector of medical waste, which expands its reach. Waste Management's revenue and cash flow have increased over the past quarters, and it offers a dividend yield of 1.8%. Lockheed Martin, a major defense company with a $117 billion market value, also provides a dividend yield of 2.7%. The company's revenue grew by 11% year over year, and it has a record backlog of $230 billion. Stanley Black & Decker, a dividend-paying company with a 3.8% yield, has been strengthening its financial position by paying down debt and cutting costs. Its valuation appears attractive with a forward-looking price-to-earnings ratio of 14. These industrial stocks may offer a margin of safety in the event of a market crash, providing stability to a portfolio.",
  "summary": "These industrial stocks have a lot going for them -- and meaningful dividend yields, too.",
