Het aandeel Reed Elsevier lijkt afstand te gaan nemen van de koersen waar 't jaren op gestaan heeft, de 10 tot 12 euro.
Afgelopen vrijdag werd op de Eur 13,87 gesloten en de omzetten zijn behoorlijk. De EUR 13 limiet heeft zich laten kenmerken als een drempel, maar die is nu ruim genomen.
De winst voor 2006 wordt op ca. EUR 0.75/80 geschat, daarbij verwachten wij (red. XEA.nl) een dividend van EUR 0,40 totaal over 2006.
Nieuwe schoolprojecten zullen er komen en blijven komen, ook de samenwerkingen, met uitwisselingen via internet (gegevens) zullen toenemen.
Zullen dan eindelijk de woorden van de heer Davis CEO van Reed Elsevier waarheid worden, je kan je geloofwaardigheid niet ophouden, door steeds "jouw" eigen opties (personeels) qua uitgiftenprijs te moeten aanpassen.
De zon lijkt te gaan schijnen en beleggers hebben daar oog voor gekregen.
De koers zal dan ook, door de extra vraag naar Reed Eslsevier kunnen aantrekken, want ook Reed Elsevier kan door een opsplitsingskans in 't nauw gedreven kunnen worden.
De hoog Laag van de afgelopen ca. 52 weken waren: EUR 13,62 en EUR 11,07 en daar zitten wij nu boven (hoog EUR 13,62).

Critical Thinking Assessments Determine Great Leaders, According to New Harcourt Assessment Report
03 January 2007
Psychometric tests are most practical and cost-effective method to determine great leadership skills.
Identifying effective critical thinkers after they've become successful is simple. However, identifying this elusive trait before a person assumes a leadership role is far more difficult, but vital to developing strong leaders within an organisation. To address this issue, Harcourt Assessment today released a new research paper titled, The Difference Between Good Leaders and Great Leaders: How to Assess for Critical Thinkers in Hiring and Development.
"A good resume or a degree from an esteemed school is no guarantee that a candidate possesses key critical thinking skills that steer organisational strategy and decision making," states Michael Pilnick, SVP, Harcourt Education. "Today's HR professionals can assess critical thinking skills using a variety of methods."
The free white paper defines the key elements of critical thinking skills, explores the role of critical thinking in talent management, and illustrates how assessment tools are vital for effective management selection.
Many companies incorporate critical thinking as an important talent differentiator in their employee selection, high potential and succession planning programmes. Critical thinking and related factors for leadership success can be assessed objectively and effectively, providing an advantage for hiring managers to make strategic hires--and make the most of their current employee pools as well.
"Leaders who consistently make wise decisions or see opportunities that others miss provide the direction that every company needs," adds Judy Chartrand, Director, Talent Assessment. "Critical thinking is a differentiator, and as such, it should play a prominent role in both the selection and the development of supervisors, managers, executives and individual contributors."
Psychometric tests are the most practical, timely and cost-effective method of critical thinking assessment due to their ease of use and quick results. Harcourt's Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal test is one of the most widely used and respected psychometric tests in the market, offering insight into how effectively someone draws inferences, recognises assumptions, deduces and interprets information, and evaluates arguments.
