CAPS Rating:

A for-profit, post-secondary education company which serves the growing segment of the population seeking to acquire career-oriented education.

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.

ANY EDUCATION STOCK IS A GOOD PLAY IMO, because the US has to educate all the workers who will lose their jobs due to globalization. With China and India producing prodigies and geniuses left and right, the US will need to concentrate on education to get our competitive edge back.

This company admits students primarily who have not done well academically. Some of these students do not have the skills to be in classes so that they become bad debt risk and also bad PR for the company.

Recs 0 (COCO) biggdave12 (< 20) Submitted: 6/13/08 8:26 PM : Start Price: $12.15 COCO Score: -39.53 Corinthian colleges has been sued for dishonesty toward its students. I know people who currently work for this company and have in the past. Good service to students is not their hallmark. Listening to their frontline employees is not their hallmark. Their goal is to make glossy promises and get the customers money and run. Also, they are selling off schools. Overall, private sector schools are crooked and treat their employees like crap. They vastly overcharge students and their parents. It is just a matter of time before the government hears enough complaints and makes some tougher laws to protect consumers.
