Goldstreet&Bond Wealth Report

Sir, General Stack, Sir
This is an interesting play that just might hold up in down markets.
Look at the the economy and see what sectors are in trouble and guess what a lot of people in those are going to be doing shortly -- looking for new careers. My son DuffBeer jr is a great example. His MBA would not help him to become a Cisco network guy and going back to Purdue was going to take way to long. His choice was a private school that he could get the knowledge needed to get his CCIE and get back into the working world.
Now look at effects of the subprime meltdown lots of change going to happen there. Many many people are going to be going back to school !!!!!! Loan officers,processors,appraisers,realtors,home inspectors,trades people,managers and on and on
Guess what DuffBeer has been doing for the last 22yrs ??? Realtor.
I am very serious about learning stock buying , selling and protecting your profits . I am a sponge for all the information that we being shared.
These schools have had high rankings in IBD also.
Now I am going to go to Flossmoor Station and grade some crafted brews . Cheers DuffBeer

I was going to back you up to the HILT - but since Duff already has - I now wish to change my mind.

as for you Duffer dog-fight Face - Yes sir, No, Sir & No excuse, Sir - Kah-PeeSH ? If I order you to Jump & defecate - you can ask 2 questions - How high & what Color. OK Delta Uniform FoxTrot FoxTrot !

...Education is the last resort of desperation during recesssions. Graduates that can't find a Job return to Continuing Education. Laid-offs are supported with various government plans. scholarships, grants, and subsidized Loans or ex-employer Union Benefits. Ed. is 3 Hots & a Cot for HARD Times.
...If you believe in a coming recession, Education will be a Growth Industry and a Market Rocket.
...You're getting in before the Market starts 'discounting' the Future. Not a bad place to be - if you're right. Hang in there. Stick to yer gunz. Time will out - eventually.

... High levels of Unemployment also lead to increase alcohol consumption - ask DuffBeer what's the best BET. he's got Champagne Taste & a Beer budget, But he KNOWS what the Good stuff is all about.

The scandal was on the timing of stock options, very common a few years ago, in APOL, Apollo Group. It tanked the stock and it was a good buy as became apparent after they restated earnings and the smoke cleared.

I personally would resist the segment because of the very high P/E, P/B, P/S, P/CF characteristic of a growth situation. A graph of revenue for APOL is beautiful, up & up for 10 years. I like the growth but don't like to pay the high multiples.

Duff Beer and Viking Warrior note the popularity of education in difficult economic times, retraining for new careers, etc. I went back to school in the 90's and could relate to that. My concern or reservation would be that the industry could be like specialty retail: expansion is rapid until outlets have been located in all available locatons. Then it hits the wall and growth stops and multiples contract rapidly.

Perhaps management outlines growth plans abd projections somehwere in the financial statements or on conference calls.
