APOL - Great Minds
Short Screen message board readers may recall that Hesperian called for shorting the for profit education sector back in April ( http://shortscreen.com... ). Earlier this month, I noted that famed short seller Jim Chanos announced he was also short the sector ( http://shortscreen.com... ). Now Steve Eisman, one of the handful of professional investors who shorted the subprime mortgage sector, has announced that he's short the for-profit education sector too ( http://www.marketfolly... ).
You heard it from Hesperian first.

Should be an interesting day for this sector Friday ( http://news.yahoo.com/... ):
"The Education Department will propose much-anticipated regulations Friday that would cut off federal aid to for-profit college programs if too many of their students default on loans or don't earn enough after graduation to repay them."
