Timing the crash requires inside information. If people are using this information to bet on the stock, that's insider trading. People do it all the time--but it is illegal. However, it would appear from the last few weeks of trading that the "merger" deal with Apollo Global Management may not materialize, at least not under the stated agreement. But for workers it almost doesn't matter. In either case, mass layoffs will be necessary. In early October, Apollo Education will crunch the final numbers. But word about the numbers and the merger may not get out until after the election. It should be interesting to see when the next quarterly report will be--it should be in late October, but it could be delayed for two weeks. Remember, President Obama's friend and former DoED official, Vistria's Tony Miller, is tied into this deal.

I just had Taco Bell, and can guarantee a huge drop in the men's room in building six tomorrow.
