A for-profit post-secondary education services corporation. The Company offers a variety of academic programs through its holly-owned subsidiary Strayer University, Inc., both in traditional classroom courses and through Strayer University Online.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Would stray away from this one at $155 - growth fully priced in at this level - likely technical pullback within 8 weeks.

People lose their jobs, they go back for continuing education.
As long as Education funding is out there, should do good.

Great company but unfortunately the valuation is out of control. 2.8B market cap off of 318M 07 revs and a 65M 07 net with approximate 20% growth rates??? Too bad this has been run up so much since its such a good company, but I just have to go short. Also note the insider selling....they all know this is way overvauled at 199.51 a share. It has to come down at some point, but I have no idea if that will be soon (months) or a year or two.
