Spherion Corp (SFN)

CAPS Rating:
*****

The Company provides temporary staffing services, managed services and permanent placement services within North America.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

They've had an earnings pop, which may to have peaked. Business is low margin, and the state of the economy is up in the air. I think they may be good long-term, but not over the next 6-18 months.

this company is shady. check out the recent headlines: denial of benefits to the spouses of their deceased employees; discriminatory hiring practices. this "thumbs-down" is more of a wish than an analysis. i hope they fail miserably,

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
