No, I'm asking a serious question.

Buy a credit default swap on student loans.

>thoughts
it's not really a bubble and it won't burst.
>profit
invest in smaller institutions who sell access to individual, highly specialized courses rather than "credits"
also invest in agriculture

I've been hearing this a lot lately. Are you a Taleb fan too?

I think colleges that offer job guarantees or tuition refunds are likely a growth market that will fill some of the void left by Postsecondary collapsing, but I'm not sure if any of those are publically traded.

This is a really long term play.

I hate that I'm posting zero hedge.

Its difficult to find a large pool of these. They haven't been packaged as far as I know. They aren't a large position in anybodies holdings. The big companies are merely service. SLM and NelNet, and Navient. T
Their expense ratios will increase but its not direct.
The biggest pool is the US Gov, but they have obscene recourse and much much bigger problems.

The people who could afford to take private debt, however likely were quite well off.

Because of the Layers of recourse, Its very difficult to value and package these.

So 50k loans 5% for 5 years simple. Cosigned even better . 1041 monthly.
Income based repayment.
Min Payment for 25 years.
210 per month .What the fuck value dat yield.
I signed up for 5 but got 25. gimme gimme
Oh wait they're finally earning money Pump it back to 5.
Ugh they're sick paying me, and they paid if off, after a decade, of paying full price.
but wait there's more
in the event they don't pay the government pays me.
99.99% of bankrupt people don't even apply for student loans with their bankruptcy.
