Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:MWW)

Job market is gonna get hot in this time frame. USA will rebound in election year.

Bad quarter. Will increase x-fold when economy improves

322. Monster Worldwide (NYSE: MWW) looks cheap based on their expectations but I have to wonder if their expectations make any sense. Why are they forecasted to grow so fast? Regardless, no matter how you look at this one, $8 appears to be a solid bottom to start climbing the price mountain. I like that the company referenced keeping their powder dry for lower prices before initiating a buyback and that type of discussion is all I need to set a higher price target for Monster. Target: $10-$15. I'm betting CAPS points on this one, seems easy enough.

When this economy recovers people will be kicking themselves that they did not buy this stock when it was so cheap. Insiders are buying now and Insider buying is a great sign. I work at a business and I know when we are doing well and we are not. I believe they would not be wasting their money if they did not KNOW that their business is going to be successful.

Hiring has to pick up... right??

oversold, ready to rebound - The Job Market will recover

Oversold on econonmic fears. They will profit on increased hiring as the global economy heats up.

economy picking up and the yahoo tie up could work well

This met a high level screen to indicate a buy and strong outperform against its peers (other tickers in its industry). My 1st version of this spreadsheet devles deep into the company's balnace sheet and recent income statements, combined with other relevant price data for the company including insider/institutional holdings, short interest, debt levels, etc.
Testing capabilities of this 1st version of my automated, valuation spreadhseet matched with my personal criteria and see how it holds up.

When unemployment goes up, people star to look for jobs...

If Monster was good, then recruitment and staffing agencies would be out of business. But alas, no.

Also lot's of competition from smaller niche players centered around communities and tech sites on the interwebs.

Plus LinkedIn is a better platform for job adverts and CVs - which is all this Monster really is.

Plus that jobless recovery thing. Tell that to the people on food stamps the families and in shelters. It's Depression time baby. Time for the Xanax.

It acquired a great chinese company to develop chinese market. It will never stop

They suck at finding people jobs. not sure how theyare still in business. They need to stop letting the people trying to sell you things access to resumes.

BUY now, first target - 30-35$, perhaps share will go above 30$. I prefer to SELL at 30$.

When employers start hiring again this company is going to profit. They have zero debt and and low p/e in relation to the industry average. Their price to book ratio is quite low too.

will be bought out imo

If we're looking towards rising unemployment, shouldn't this stock be looking MORE attractive, not less? Maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about :(.

Craigs list and a slowing job market will continue to erode sales and profits.

1) Monster just took a couple big hits in the news and the market has over-reacted. Short-term it should rebound to the upper half of its 52-week range.
2) Monster.com is still the market leader and continues expanding its usefulness to career-minded people (i.e. premium consumers.) I still use it even though I have a job I don't intend to leave any time soon. Long-term growth justifies a higher PE ratio.
3) A strong economy increases demand for advertising. A week economy increases demand for Monster.com's services. Either way offers above-market growth potential.
