I think this is to do with making information which was created using government money freely available, I read about a similar activity in the US.

A 250k sell order was swiftly removed when it hit the strip before it was filled - and there is no such thing as mnaipulation of the order book - my ar@e!

We are near or about APRIL lows, yet I dont think that the potential for this company is that bad, good solid co, and yet continues to fall. Other media companies such as BSY, RTR, PSON seeem to be doing ok out of the market rises, but REL seems to be reluctant to move upwards.

could even fall further between 16:00 and 16:30......!!!!!

What a day for me to go long at 459. I wrote above 'stron support around 460' and thatwas true.
It must be to do with this takeover today, maybe its a bit dilutive.. and no figures were released sow e can not know.
I'll just have to rise it out. Reed always bounces back.

Were now ? Breaking support at 4.55-460.The chart is dreadful,looks like its nearest support is 4.30 or 4.00. The brokers are fairly positive but the chart suggests this is going down. Looks like a good short.

[billdaly] 12/12/2003 15:08

No, down further.

[billdaly] 12/12/2003 12:27

L2 looks a bit better, might bounce from here - US may give it a lift also - they are flying

[dawntrader] 12/12/2003 12:15

Read in the Sunday Business that this stock drop was over done, they usually get it right but has fallen heavily again since Monday price of 479, I do think that in the medium term (3-6 months) this stock should do better, dont understand why doing so poorly now, touching levels we saw in April 2003. Will take a small long position on March prices.

good luck
Dawn

Sold 460 PUTS in this stock today at 459p. Hope support around here holds...
phew!
Bought REL's 550 March CALLS for the princely sum of 2p each, so If the stock can get to even 520 by mid February I'll treble my position there. If not, lose 2p.

A buy order for 1 share on the strip at the moment - a sign?

[billdaly] 12/12/2003 09:09

Anybody have a clue what this means to the price?

AMSTERDAM (AFX) - Royal Swets & Zeitlinger Holding NV said that it has sold
its Swets Test International (STI) to Reed Elsevier's unit Harcourt Assessment
Inc, based in the US.
No financial details were disclosed.
STI will be integrated into Harcourt Assessment International's existing
operations and will report to the vice president international operations Ian
Taylor, based in London.

[hectorp] 12/12/2003 09:01

Seems some good support around 460 level, over the last two months ( chart)...

[royaloak] 11/12/2003 13:30

Hi, Bill, lot of stock on offer at 460, auto order to buy at 460 / 460.25 !

[hectorp] 10/12/2003 16:02

Amvescap, now Freddy Mack..hmm. I'd not like to call the bottom this week gents.
( decent posters , nice to see)
not filled this AM so still fising with my Options. may try again around now.
Hector

[billdaly] 10/12/2003 14:05

It could be that big sell order and more being dribbled in by a bot.

[royaloak] 10/12/2003 14:01

bill, what do you make of all this stock being pushed on the market around 463 ??? Looks like a short term resistance level to me, could be good once it clears!!

[billdaly] 10/12/2003 13:48

Not a bad guess on the bottom - US will push this up to green/blue IMHO.

1% L2 220k vs 80k

[royaloak] 10/12/2003 12:47

Agree Bill, bounced nicely from 460 twice, lets see what fotsie and dow do now!

Of course level 2 can be very misleading, looks very thin above 463 but you can bet there will be a few more fed through on the offer on any bounce!

[billdaly] 10/12/2003 12:33

Yes, even if you discount the 500k buy order the 1% L2 looks good - actual figure is ~650k vs 32k

REL seems to get good support from the US and I think the US will bounce today.

[royaloak] 10/12/2003 12:27

Now 275k at 462 offer, so auto order put in to buy at 462 - 462.25, got my doubts whether it will get there of course the way footsie is!

EDIT: they have just took the 275k off!

[royaloak] 10/12/2003 12:04

Hectorp, I spreadbet this one with idealing, will study more your methods, thanks.

Put in a buy order bid 463 offer 463.5, like to see that 250k cleared at 463!
