"Gut Stocks!"
That's more or less the standard congratulatory phrase in any sport, isn't it?.
By Beat Fritsch Curling can't be, it's "Gut Stein!"; in ice hockey, at best you shout "Gut Stockbruch!"; "Timber!" the lumberjacks shout, and in golf - you shout "Fooooooor!"is, we think, the encouraging wish that stock exchange traders, foreign exchange brokers and derivatives gurus, Ospels and Mühlemanns shout to each other before they plunge into their daily battle in the stock and foreign exchange jungle.
The expression was certainly apt last week when the Swiss investor magazine of the same name called to LakeSide Zürihorn for the Stocks Awards ceremony. And at the same time to the party for the first anniversary of the weekly title of the HandelsZeitung publishing group, which provides investors with stock market information. In his birthday speech, publisher Ralph Büchi recalled the market mood at the time of the launch, which was still characterized by fat profits and an exuberant boom.
"If we had known what was going to happen this year, and not just on the money markets - our knees would have been weak, to say the least," Büchi said in his speech to 250 guests. While the headline of the first Stocks cover was still "Stocks for winners," only one year later the teaser "Stocks for the nervous" would have been much more appropriate. Nevertheless: Stocks has correlated negatively with the market this year, and for once this is a negative development that gives pleasure, Büchi reported. While the stock market crumbled more and more over the year, Stocks continuously gained.
Publishing director Patrizia Serra and advertising manager Musti Asaf therefore also had reason to be pleased, and they probably made a significant contribution to the success. And with them also the advertisers Daniel Matter and Erich Baumgartner from Matter & Partner, who look after the Stocks advertising budget. Soon, the latest campaign will be on display.
Considering that it was a bankers' event, the line-up of advertisers and media people was impressive. Apparently, word has spread in party circles about the quality of the Stocks and HandelsZeitungs events. This was reflected not least in the speedy and professional handling of the award ceremony. The three best individual analysts, the three best analyst teams and a stock of the year selected by the readers were honored. Stocks Editor-in-Chief Reto Lipp and the event manager of the HandelsZeitung publishing group, Bettina Möhr, managed to get the award ceremony through at a brisk pace in half an hour. This was appreciated by the bankers present, who share a common trait with the advertising profession: they don't like to listen for too long. Especially not when an aperitif buffet is waiting outside. Möhr received special compliments for her moderation - a score of 10 out of 10. If a TV trend scout had been sitting in the audience, the publishing house would probably soon have to fear for the event manager's future.
Gebi Schregenberger didn't like the whole thing very much. He first sat at the bar on the lower floor, but then took pity on the croupier at the lonely riverboat table and therefore lost himself a little with the dice.

went "long" at the Stocks investor magazine party. And in stock market jargon, that means a strong commitment (buy) in a stock or commodity. Red wine flowed however none, only white wine and champagne. And that means in stock market jargon that one went "short" with the red, because that is the short form for a so-called short sale.
