Let's try to get a read on the future of higher education using the data. (This is not an investment thread, I would not ever invest in education stocks unless I became schizophrenic and retarded). Remember, if you are planning to be an academic this industry will be the one paying your bills.
I selected the stocks for many higher-education related companies and I am comparing them to the S&P500 (the top 500 U.S. companies) and to a financial services ETF (my industry) since the start of the pandemic. In the OP I'll try to make a short summary for those not familiar with these charts so hopefully, we'll have a deeper discussion within the thread.
Red line: This is Chegg. I'm sure all of you fuckers know what this shit is. The chart says (see the right markings) it is 93.31% up since Corona. This means that if you had invested in that piece of shit in March, you'd had doubled your money by now. Right out of the bat this doesn't look good. This piece of shit service outperformed not only the market and financial services, but also all of the other education stocks. This means that in the future these kinds of services will have a larger presence in universities. Yeah, this world is doomed.
Yellow line: 2U, Inc. This is a company that sells technology consulting and services to universities too retarded to hire their own competent staff. Basically a leech and it is up 51% so again, not the best sign. Though it is pretty obvious why it is up with universities scamming students by selling online classes at in-person rates.
Orange line: Grand Canyon Education. This is another leech in universities. Basically, if half your university's staff is diversity officers who don't know shit about fuck then odds are part of your tuition goes to paying LOPE to actually run your university as they offer operational services. You may notice that this is the last one to be positive (9% since Corona) and so far all we have are leeches and fucking Chegg.
