Shares of Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) And Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) remain in
bearish trends suggesting that the market and the employment picture remain
questionable at best.

The stock market could bounce in the next few days. After all, the hype over the Facebook IPO is clearly on the rise and stocks are clearly oversold after nearly ten down days in a row.
But the action in Goldman Sachs and Manpower is abysmal. Goldman, who will participate in Facebook's IPO and who is selling a major stake in the company as part of the IPO, remains a Wall Street belwether. This stock is all about the market. When it rises the market tends to do well. And as it has done recently, when it falls, it's a pretty good sign that trouble lies ahead for stocks.
Manpower is all about employment, in both the U.S. and Europe. This stock is plunging to new lows on a regular basis as well.

The combination of both stocks falling suggests that investors are increasingly concerned about the market (GS) and the economy (MAN) especially with regard to the situation in Europe, where Manpower does a lot of business.
Our gut tells us that even if the market bounces, if these stocks fail to join the bounce, we will likely see more downward activity to follow.
