Way overbought at $123, can see it drop below $100 within the next few weeks.

Clean books, but maybe too high a share price. Would buy on any weakness towards the lower end of the 52 week range.

Picked by the Apollo CEO as the company he admires most and his fiercest competition. No long term debt, nice steady earnings growth over many years, great ROE & ROA, opening new campuses.
