Apollo Group: Industry Bellwether Continues Exceptional Growth

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:39:30 GMT

The for-profit education business has enjoyed a nice run as unemployment rates continue to rise ever higher. The largest of the sector is Apollo Group (APOL), owner of The University of Phoenix. Apollo reported earnings after the close on Monday which handily beat what the street had expected. Third quarter profit rose to $201.1 million, or $1.26 per share, from $139.1 million or 85 cents per share. Revenue topped a billion ($1.05B) from $835.2 million last year, up 26%. Clearly, the current operating environment has propelled the online educator to substantial enrollment growth. The earnings beat was not unexpected as analysts have been raising estimates for this quarter over the past few months. Shares are trading about 9% higher in Tuesday mid-day trading, which is in contrast to the broad market indices[More...]

Education Stocks Are About To Collapse

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:15:06 GMT

Most investors like to pick stocks they think will rise. Short sellers pick stocks they think will fall. Enron is Chanos' most famous short sale. Chanos knew Enron was a broken company before the stock market. His "short sale" of Enron made a fortune when the stock collapsed... and made him famous on Wall Street. Jim Chanos is a smart guy and he's made a lot of money for his investors. Here at DailyWealth, we always pay attention to his investment ideas... as they are almost always profitable. Right now, Jim Chanos is selling short the for-profit education business. "Kids are graduating from these schools," Chanos says, "with associate and bachelor degrees... and running up $30,000... $40,000... $50,000... $60,000 in debt. In many cases, the cost of these diplomas is the[More...]

Dividend Aristocrats Strike Back

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 13:54:00 GMT

In a week that saw major US indexes fall to fresh multi year lows, there is a group of investors who still remain optimistic. No, this is not a scam touting penny stocks that would bring instant riches. It’s also not a post about some computerized technical analysis program that will turn stones into diamonds. The strategy is called dividend growth investing, and it is the fundamental way of picking shareholder friendly stocks, which reward their owners with an increasing stream of dividend income. Some of the best dividend stocks are included in the Dividend Aristocrats index, which[More...]

54 Stocks Returning 15%+ in January

Sun, 01 Feb 2009 18:18:00 GMT

As we exit the worst January ever, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the best performers of the past month. Before we do, courtesy of Dshort.com this is a chart that has been passed around a lot in the investing community so I thought I'd share it. Two ways to read this - of the 4 great bear markets the past 100 years, 3 "ended" roughly where we are now... about a 50% loss in value from peak. That's the bullish view i.e. "can't get worse than this" and if we fall to S&P 750 (November lows) but never break through they will be correct. The bearish view is - the 4th bear market ended in a 90% drop, and if you plot the velocity of the decline, what happened to us in Sep - Nov caused us to be in lockstep with the worst of the 4. I'm not calling for a 90% drop[More...]

Jobs Shift From Factory to Finance

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:49:00 GMT

Sep. 7--When Patrick Malone saw unemployment looming in 1969, he didn't mull his next move for long.
Manufacturing dominated New Jersey's economic landscape and there were plenty of relatively well-paid jobs for workers with limited education.
Yet just over a decade later, the Ford plant -- one of North Jersey's biggest employers, with 3,300 workers -- closed.
