☆ How Wall Street Giants Made Billions Preying on College Students
  + stars: | 2024-09-10 | by ( Ryann Liebenthal | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
In 1970 there had been only 18,333 students enrolled at degree-granting for-profit schools, less than a quarter of a percent of the total number of college students. In 2010, Tom Harkin, chair of the Senate's education committee, began a two-year investigation into for-profit schools. But even more shocking, federal money flowing to for-profit schools accounted for 25% of all federal student aid and 47% of eventual loan defaults. Students' money enriched every corner of the for-profit industry except one: quality of instruction. In fact, these for-profit students were actually worse off than if they hadn't gone to school at all.

Like Tesla and Palantir, GameStop was a popular stock to short among hedge funds, though GameStop took it to a whole new level. "That's how I feel about these GME posts that are using the 'P' and get in so we can cause an 'S' words that are no-nos." That was enough to make WallStreetBets the seventh-largest holder of GameStop stock, ahead of some of the big Wall Street investment firms that had shown interest in the stock.

☆ A teacher-turned-entrepreneur shares the 'brilliantly simple' business book that helped her buy a local bookstore and make it profitable

Main Street Books sits, appropriately, on Main Street in Davidson, North Carolina, where Fitzgerald has lived since 1997 when she started her freshman year at Davidson College. When asked about her top choice in the business book category, she cited "The E-Myth," written by small-business consultant Michael E. Gerber. "There are a million business books and 'The E-Myth' is brilliantly simple," said Fitzgerald. It's a nuts-and-bolts business book." However, you won't find it at Main Street Books, where shelf space is precious.
