We present results from our precision radial velocity (RV) program at ESO La Silla. The achievable RV precision after the upgrade of the CES spectrograph is demonstrated. We apply the method of pooled variance diagrams to compare our short-term with our long-term precision. For the active planet-hosting star ι Hor we determine the influence of stellar activity and the rotation period, and address the question of a second long-period planet. For the RV signal in ∊ Eri we demonstrate the distinctness of the time scales present in the RV and Call data, providing further support for the planetary interpretation in this active star.
