Celebrating Three Decades of BÖRSE ONLINE: The Stock Magazine That Weathered the Stock Market Storms
Let's step back 35 years to a time when preparing to launch a stock magazine was the last thing on anyone's mind, given the economic chaos that had just taken the world by storm. Yet BÖRSE ONLINE, armed with the resolve of its founders, pressed on regardless, determined to turn adversity into opportunity.
Surviving the Storm: Black Monday and the Aftermath
The триггер for the historic market crash of October 19, 1987, came in the form of rumors of an impending interest rate hike. The resulting panic sent the Dow Jones Index tumbling by a record-breaking 22.9 percent. In Europe, stock prices plummeted in Germany, and the downfall continued until the end of October, all while BÖRSE ONLINE was gearing up to unveil its first issue.
Publisher's Courage: The Booster Rocket for BÖRSE ONLINE
And so, on November 6, 1987, the first issue of BÖRSE ONLINE hit the newsstands, carrying the headline "The Bull is Dead." Taken at face value, this declaration might have proved to be premature—or downright misguided—but history shows us that BÖRSE ONLINE turned this proclamation into a strength. Over the years, the seasoned editors behind the magazine learned to expect the unexpected in the world of finance.
Weathering the Storms: Balance Sheet Scandals and the Road to Success
BÖRSE ONLINE weathered its fair share of economic storms over the years. At its peak in the new millennium, the magazine was selling 400,000 copies weekly. But the good times didn't last long. Balance sheet scandals became rampant, and BÖRSE ONLINE exposed the fraudulent practices of a telematics specialist named Comroad.
Focusing on Actionable Insights: A New Approach for BÖRSE ONLINE
After several changes in publishers, BÖRSE ONLINE underwent a renaissance in 2013 under the leadership of Dr. Frank-B. Werner. Werner, a former BÖRSE ONLINE editor from 1988 and then CEO of Finanzen Verlag, introduced his "Less talk, more concrete investment recommendations" philosophy.
In late 2021, Bernd Förtsch, the founder and CEO of Börsenmedien AG, expressed interest in acquiring the stock magazine. With FÖRSTCH at the helm, and the indices starting another downturn, the future for BÖRSE ONLINE looks bright. The editorial team is confident that the current bear market will give way to a bull run.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating: 35 Years of BÖRSE ONLINE
Today, BÖRSE ONLINE stands tall, having withstood the test of time and the trials that come with navigating the world of finance. In thanks to its loyal readers and to celebrate this incredible milestone, BÖRSE ONLINE is offering a 35% discount on all digital subscriptions until November 9. Join us in raising a glass to BÖRSE ONLINE and another 35 years of financial insights and guidance.
