Are the private college shares you own also bought and sold on the capital market, or are they only for internal use, including university lecturers and staff? Education stocks are stable stocks, and you can increase your stock ownership to increase passive income from dividends.The private college is very big with a student population of 30,000 which is why I never hesitate to buy 10 stocks. The other 5 stocks were bought in a government-owned university, the university where I work.
