In case you missed the investment boat a few years ago I pointed out the growing importance of for-profit-colleges and recommended a few stocks that tripled.
Now I see the underlying data behind that investment success. Non-profit higher education institutions have grown by over one million, 46% since 1980 while the smaller number of for-profits has grown from 112,000 to 600,000 a significant growth of 500%.
A prime source of this growth has been overseas Asian students who have increased in numbers from 165,000 in 1980 to over 360,000 now.
