Monster CEO open to selling all or part of company

NEW YORK (Reuters) - MONSTER (MNST.NQ)Worldwide Inc is open to selling all or part of itself and expects to have data ready for potential buyers fairly soon, Chief Executive Sal Iannuzzi said in an interview.

"At a certain price, anything's for sale," said Iannuzzi, whose company runs the Monster.com jobs-search Website.

Monster shares are up about 17 percent so far this year, outpacing the 12 percent gain of the Standard & Poor's 500 <.SPX>, having rallied since Iannuzzi told an investor conference early this month that the company was considering "strategic alternatives."

The shares were off 2 cents at $9.28 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
