It is like watching a jumbo jet collide with mountain. Stock will be below $5 soon as the deal is dead. Institutional buyers will not touch
anything under $5. The company is done. They will be gone by January. Every investor knows this and they are cashing in any stake they have. Something is better than nothing. If you have 401k with them in your portfolio or on an ESPP, get it out... — read more
The stock will be under $8 within a week. It will be hovering in the $6 range by EOM. Under $5 at the end of October. Hopefully by Christmas
the plug is pulled on aid and it stinks below a $1. They declare bk come January. It is looking more like an ITT repeat as the days go by.
Tim is the best!
Tim, you are the best leader and President. You make the effort to get to know your staff and look them in the eye when you pass them in the hallway. It doesn't matter that you don't have a PhD and are our President. You represent us well and thank... — read more

Are Apollo Education and University of Phoenix Making Stipulated Benchmarks?

I always know when sh*t is about to hit the fan at this place because this board starts heating up. I see people are starting to get a little
crazy. Usually this is a good sign that something big is about ready to go down. If another severance package is offered, I am out the flipping door. I should have taken the April offer. Guess I figured these clowns could turn it around. I heard the... — read more
