This is completely insane. "Shorting the Higher Ed Bubble." Hedge funds are making a killing shorting for-profit colleges, student loan providers, textbook companies, and student housing REITs. It's clear from data; the student loan bubble is collapsing https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/e5490e_d28addc85ae047aaad8b22a8bfd002f8.pdf …

To rebut the obviously silly "for many, costs now exceed the value of the degree" claim, check this:http://awealthofcommonsense.com/2018/04/is-college-worth-the-cost/ …

That doesn't refute anything. It says that on average people that go to college make more money. That in no way means that college is a good deal or good decision for everyone.

Do you genuinely think there's a person on earth who would back an argument as broad as "college is a good deal or good decision for everyone?"
-
Do you think there’s a person who would back a statement such as “college is becoming a better deal?”

It already feels like this isn't a discussion of the misstated facts of that research piece and instead a broad, amorphous and unenlightening debate about higher ed ROI.

It’s clearly declining in both

The evidence that it's declining in the private loan market is what?

Discover and Sallie Mae (and other private lenders) have nothing to do with Federally guaranteed loans. That this analysis doesn't reflect that reveals a profound misunderstanding of the market.

Credit quality of private student loans has skyrocketed higher since credit crisis. Federal quality has diminished (as Obama admin increased lending limits and lowered credit standards for PLUS).
