Bookkeeping: Short DeVry (DV)

We said in January or February (can't remember when the adult education bubble was at its peak) that this was an overhyped sector. At the time we had a successful short of ITT Educational (ESI) even when the sector was in a bull run. Now as I scan the charts in the group, this sector is showing a lot of weakness - just a handful of names.

I've decided to pick one and went with DeVry (DV) as a short - it's been rejected at the 50 day moving average for the past 8 days so I like the risk / reward here. If it begins to break north of that level (currently $45) and then passes recent highs of...

So if you believe in the "market knows all" and is "Oracle like in nature" the downdrafts of stocks ...

Recession-proof stock #1: ITT Educational Services (ESI) Graphic_rating_buy ESI

Filed under: Stocks to Buy, Recession, Best Stocks for 2009

Recession stock: ITT Educational ServicesOne group of stocks to own during a recession is the education space, and my favorite name is ITT Educational Services (NYSE: ESI).

With unemployment rising, workers having difficulty finding jobs turn to education as a way to improve prospects.

With the growth of the Internet, the educational space has changed over the years. Brick-and-mortar schools have fallen behind the online degree providers. With a cost-effective and flexible program, online schools have been experiencing solid growth during this recession.
