Here’s A Great Stock Tip For You All!

If you want to make a lot of money and screw over millions of children, particularly inner-city children, all at the same time (and who doesn’t want to do that?), then join my favorite Governor Paul LePage and invest heavily in on-line learning.
Studies have shown on-line learning to be a total sham when it comes to educating children, but hey, when the State will pay someone like K12 Inc. or Rupert Murdoch or Bill Gates seven to ten thousand dollars or more per student and all you have to do is provide a kid a $300 computer, some cheap software and a couple dozen teachers of dubious quality in some data center in Florida to service all those millions of students simultaneously, who cares? The returns to shareholders will be enormous!
Assuming, of course, the CEO’s of these companies don’t steal all the profits first. They seem like honest guys.
