Manpower, Inc. (MAN)

CAPS Rating:
***

The Company is in the employment services industry. Its five major brands- Manpower, Manpower Professional, Elan, Jefferson Wells and Right Management provide a range of services for the entire employment and business cycle.

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 players 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 forgot that I wanted to track this one for personal reasons, and I also happened to miss a big jump at the same time. Oh well.

This stock had is coming off an 11 point pop on April 18. It seems that Manpower actually performs better in bear markets, as companies lay off employees and turn to cheap temp labor.

As firms tighten their own payrolls, the natural way to hire employees is through staffing ... Saves on Benies & Welfare, payroll & advertising costs for open positions ... Also allows a company to downsize bloated HR departments ... Good pick for the downturn ...
