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.

Although its nearly impossible to find a job on Monsters that actually hires, it forces companies to comply and post jobs to fulfill the status quo.

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.

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 :(.

Great company & great fundamentals. ...Take over target for Goog, MSFT & Yhoo.
The New CFO (ex symbol technology) is a specialist in selling the company to big sharks.

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.

A company with a catchy name that fails to live up to expectations. I attribute the trend of slightly raising earnings but rapidly falling net income to a last-effort attempt at stepping up marketing for recruiters.

Going to be a difficult year for MNST... Executive shake-ups, "free services" online alternatives, slowing job markets, and direct-hiring policies of some companies... its services are very tied to the economic sentiments of the market...

Why has Monster outperformed the S&P since 1996? It has a catchy name and I'm almost fearful to give this stock a thumbs down not because it deserves it (be/c it most certainly does0 but because so often stocks go up be/c of hype or a name or some other frilly reason that has nothing to do with the core business. Aside from the fact that P/E is 170 (and if it gets bought out, the owners of MNST will have done a great job swindling someone out their money), I give it a thumbs down be/c the infrastructure is crap. Has anyone randomly done a search on Monster? If you search within 5 miles of your zip code, the computer program incorrectly pulls up over 5000 jobs in a 50 mile or more radius. I even called customer service and got nothing but excuses and we're working on it. After a few weeks I gave up. What company allows a serious computer infrasture problem to impair the only service they offer for weeks on end??? A LOSER. That's who. You want to know who has a much less exciting name but an infrastructure that works? CareerBuilder. What job seeker wants to peruse through 5000 jobs over a 50+radius to find one job. A company can provide a crap service and crap customer service only so long before the stock price is affected. This company and it's "services" are a first class zero and it only reminds me more that all the research on fundamentals can't beat experiencing a business first hand and MNST being an online business is an easy one to explore. Simply not impressed.
