Growth rate year over year is substancial with future growth rate of 87% in the next year. No debt and a quick ratio of 2.5

More importantly, this company has developed its niche in the military community; on the GoArmyEd website because of its name its at the top of the list. Much like it makes a difference whose name is first on a ballot box, this is the first name to strike your eye.

The name 'military' also tells most servicemembers that professors will be understanding to deployment scenarios. As troop drawdown in Iraq occurs military members will have the opportunity to once again focus on college.

APEI is focusing on branching out into the civilian sector to what seems like to be much success. The college website is easy to navigate, has affordable tuition ($750 per semester hour), the books are free, and it offers everything from certificates to masters degrees. What's more, military tuition assistance (TA) pays 100% of active duty servicemembers' financial costs.

I attend AMU as a servicemember currently in Iraq and so far I've been able to enroll seven other Soldiers into AMU. You can attend this college no matter where you're stationed because it's the only university that's completely online and covered by the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOCAD) agreemeent.

This for profit university is around to stay; it'll soon be chewing up its floundering competion, namely Apollo.

Good growth industry (online postsecondary ed.) and customers are funded by US Govt. Strong ratios give APEI staying power.

The current economic situation will drive up the number of people wanting to increase their marketability.

The new administration has a stated goal of increased investment in eduation along with providing for our veterans.

The online platform provides great capacity for growth without big infrastructure investments.

The geographic market is worldwide.

All of this provides for great market growth potential. Add no debt, lots of cash, good profitability and growth to the mix and this looks like a good pick.

With military folks making their way back home in the coming years, this one is poised to pick up some of the government money going to educate vets.

Strong fundamentals and strong financials, the company has no debt and can tune it's enrollement rate by throttling its web presence. Some analysts believe they should raise tuition, but they strive to make education affordable for our armed forces. Little if any credible negative press online, unlike their competitiors and they are working hard to make the business work over the web. The IPO was part of a research assignment for my MBA, my team liked what they saw so much, several of us bought in during the class, back in the high 20s!

APEI provides educational services to the military. The company has very good fundamentals and should continue to grow especially witht the new GI Bill being signed into law.

Education is rapidly growing.

APEI is on rapid growth track and has great market in military seeking additional degree

Third quarter financials demonstrated growth is continuing and P/E is inexpensive compared to other education stocks
