It's not the impact of one project and the value of the property in that project,

This month's excellent figures support what we have been saying all along - namely that the value of equities can be expected to fluctuate from time to time, but over time they generally deliver better returns than deposits.

The market has established the value of the shares at that price. If it is rejected, there is very little the minority shareholders can do, as there aren't any other offers on the table.

There's enough value left in resources stocks to remain optimistic. Commodity prices are locked in over fairly long-term contracts for many of them, so there's an element of safety too.

At Schneider, 'Safety First and Always' is our primary core value. We moved forward with the Atlas system to keep our drivers more safe and comfortable. The Atlas Seat Marking System provides an opportunity for our drivers to use the full value of their seat, whereby drivers feel better, perform better and are less fatigued. We knew we had succeeded when we saw 114 fewer lost-time injuries. At the start of the program, our objective was simply to help our drivers, and the financial impact was less clear. Now after six months, we are confident that we have seen a favorable return on our investment.

With the background screening of candidates becoming increasingly important, our partnership with Verifications expands the range of high value services that we can offer our customers. Tightly integrating our resume processing technology with Verification's screening services will help ensure that candidate information is quickly and accurately submitted without the need for manual re-keying. Adding the Verifications screening services to the Resume Mirror Enterprise Applicant Manager will provide our clients with a single-point solution to configure and implement these services into their deployed recruiting solution and processes.
