CAPS Rating:

Provides staffing services to a diversified group of customers through offices located in major cities of North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim.

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.

I think staffing firms won't be hit so hard by this recession. There's volatility in job markets, not necessarily shrinkage. But if you need a buy-in time, wait to purchase MAN and KELYA when positive employment numbers come out. Nonetheless, it's easy to pick this now based on technical bottomin...More

Recs 0 (KELYA) myname86 (< 20) Submitted: 5/27/08 4:34 PM : Start Price: $21.04 KELYA Score: -6.52 With the global economy like it is, jobs in the states are hard to come by. However, temporary companies like Kelly Services have jobs readily available in the states and abroad. As people continue to be laid off they might be forced to consider temporary work.

Recs 0 (KELYA) nkirkwood31 (< 20) Submitted: 5/09/08 10:26 AM : Start Price: $20.81 KELYA Score: -5.90 Unemployment is up. It seems harder and harder to get a job. Serivices like Kelly Services are great for people having trouble finding a job, they make the search easier. I predict an increase for them, especially over the summer months.

Recs 1 (KELYA) ResearchLover (< 20) Submitted: 3/27/08 3:24 PM : Start Price: $20.58 KELYA Score: -7.84 I think staffing firms won't be hit so hard by this recession. There's volatility in job markets, not necessarily shrinkage. But if you need a buy-in time, wait to purchase MAN and KELYA when positive employment numbers come out. Nonetheless, it's easy to pick this now based on technical bottoming looking like it has passed, low(er) forward PE and this argument: If the dollar stays low, then job losses and gains will shift independently in different sectors (e.g. loss in inflation-sensitive sectors, to gain in domestic manufacturing, export-dependent jobs). Looks like a good scenario for temp agencies to me. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
