"Former stock exchange journalist discloses earning a substantial €3,400 from a single euro investment"
In a recent interview, German journalist and columnist Jan Fleischhauer expressed a certain regret about a missed investment opportunity he had during his time as a stock market journalist. Fleischhauer, who is primarily known for his political commentary, was a correspondent in New York between May 2001 and 2005, reporting on Wall Street.
During the interview, Fleischhauer admitted to having no "lucky touch" in investments. He shared that he was incredibly annoyed about a near-miss investment opportunity with stocks, specifically Google, Microsoft, Apple, and IBM. According to Fleischhauer, the potential return on investment for every Euro invested in Apple stock in 2001 could have been a staggering 3,400 Euros.
Fleischhauer's wife, who works in asset management, provided a counterargument, suggesting that investing in other companies like Nokia or AOL could have resulted in no returns. However, the search results do not contain relevant information about which stocks Fleischhauer regrets not investing in during his time as a stock market journalist, nor do they include data on the performance of those stocks compared to firms like Nokia or AOL.
At present, Fleischhauer's current investments include a house, a substantial loan for the bookshelf in his living room, a press pension fund from Allianz, and ETFs managed by his wife. The full interview discussing politics, pensions, and citizen's income can be seen on the Börse ONLINE YouTube channel.
Interestingly, Fleischhauer compared political parties to stocks in a later part of the interview. This analogy underscores Fleischhauer's deep understanding of both the political and financial landscapes. Despite his regrets about the missed investment opportunity, Fleischhauer remains an influential figure in German journalism and politics.
