They have a strong potential for philantropy and already have a big hand in it. While this doesn't directly relate to revenue, they are still capable of transforming education, and they way we get our news. They are going to spend money in various endeavours, without a major new product or service I don't see anyone making money off their stock, but they will continue to run things from behind the scenes.

Just took a test at one of their centers and I cannot imagine that as the world becomes more regulated, and professionals need testing for certification that this part of their business will grow rapidly

PSO has this little thing called Power School - it is an amazingly powerful tool for parents - I call it grade porn and anybody who admits that they really care about how their kids do in school will be addicted. It is a small part of this company but do the math - it could be HUGE
