Mcgraw Hill Companies (MHP)

[vallence]

McGraw-Hill Publishing or Barrick Mining Company? I my previous article "Compare MHP McGraw-Hill Publishing and ABX Barrick Gold ", I ask the reader to compare the option to either buying Barrick Gold Mining or McGraw-Hill Publishing. As stated I own neither company. In the past two months since the posting of this article the news has become even more grim, the unemployment now over 22%(the real figure) and home defaults falling off the edge of the Grand Canyon after a brief calm as the legal wrangling on foreclosures have been resolved. There is no doubt that the gold and it's gold and silver mining companies are just beginning their real bull market now and there will be years of increasing prices. You have to be living under a rock not to known this.

It is also obvious from recent news now being published on the main networks which means the story is already old news, that many of the college degrees today are not worth the paper they are printed on(much like the USD). It has also been in the news that the universities and colleges have grossly over expanded in the past 10 years and are in the beginning of a rapid contraction. Being an intelligent reader you can add these basic facts together and come up with the effect this will have on the publishing companies supplying those big fat glossy new text books with even fatter prices on them to prospective students.

The Student population at colleges and universities around the country and world is going to plummet and the students that do make it in will not buy the text books(See article on the site, "Below is a recent article from the New York Times"). Professors will keep their current text and use them until the pages fall out. Professors will also put several copies of the book used on reserve at the university library for their students to check out for the standard 2-3 hours to read and or copy select pages. McGraw-Hill and publishing companies like them with their egotistic driven thick, glossy books are going to be as lucrative as stock in the housing industry is today. So the question is do you want to be in a declining industry or a rising one? Think about it and Sell MHP and buy into the mining companies.
