George Jeandarme and Luke de Boeverre, students of Mandeville academy and Club Cent Cinquate Plus, sound the gong.
Mandeville Academy
Mandeville Academy Gouda started in 2018 as a school for gifted young people, aged between 16 and 25. Mandeville Academy offers a group of ambitious gifted young adults the opportunity to get acquainted with a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines and social issues at the highest level.
Club Cent Cinquante Plus
CCCP is Mandeville's initiative for the youngest, most brilliant children in the Netherlands. This group of children is so smart that at the age of 8-11 they have completed their high school education. They are now too young for the university and even a university-education does not always fit.
For this group it is important that they function "normally" as long as possible. A necessary requirement is that they are challenged enough, intellectually.
For this group of children, Mandeville organizes monthly excursions with lectures, to interesting places in society and business.

944130f76154-9b98-4267-8d80-e2433eebaaf2IEX.nl celebrates ten years of bull market
To celebrate ten years of bull market IEX.nl visitor and ex-Theodoor Gillissen employee Michael Molenaar sounds the gong.
Who will call the bottom?
"Who will call the bottom?", the Dutch investor website IEX.nl asked its visitors on the 5th March 2009 during the darkest days of the debt crisis stock market crash. It turned out the momentum was perfectly timed. Just four days afterward on the 9th of March, the AEX reached 194.99. Then the index turned.... into one long upward trend to rise to this day. It is the longest bull market in stock market history.
Michael Molenaar, like many visitors, took up the challenge of trying to call the bottom- characteristic stockmarket jargon - and he was only a few points and some minutes away.
