So I decided to do my CFA and I moved to AlexBank which was like being at a financial academy. I learned so much, especially since the bank is a subsidiary of Italy\u2019s Intesa Sanpaolo Group and most departments are led by their Italian counterparts. After four years at AlexBank, I decided to move into investment banking and transferred to Prime Holding for a few months before landing my position at Beltone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I currently cover banking and <\/strong><strong>NBFS<\/strong><strong> companies in Egypt and Saudi<\/strong>, but the company has plans to expand into GCC and North Africa in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The best part of my job is seeing how one\u2019s call yields results. <\/strong>It takes time to be able to hone in on that skill and make effective calls, but once you do, there\u2019s a huge satisfaction in it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The worst part of my job is that you always have to be up to date. <\/strong>This also holds true during vacation time. I had to work at a point during my honeymoon and my wife was not happy [laughs]. She knows me well though so she gave me a \u201cbera7tak\u201d and it passed. Work-life balance doesn\u2019t always come easy, but when I can, I try to achieve it by being 100% present in the situation I\u2019m in whether it\u2019s in my personal life or at work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My theory of investing is inspired by Warren Buffet.<\/strong> The most important factor to look at in a company you\u2019re thinking of investing in is whether it has a durable competitive advantage which will help it maneuver through tough circumstances. However, you also have to get the timing right. I\u2019m a big fan of Buffet\u2019s quote, \u201cBe fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful,\u201d which urges investors to buy stocks when there\u2019s a selloff and sell stocks when there\u2019s a hype in the market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m also an advocate for long-term investing.<\/strong> Waiting out a company\u2019s market cycle allows you to harvest the real value when it's recognized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I think the Export Development Bank of Egypt is an undiscovered gem. <\/strong>The EGX30-listed company is on the rise and has great potential in the Egyptian market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All things considered, 2020 was not a bad year for the Egyptian economy.<\/strong> Businesses managed to hold themselves somewhat upright and even the volatility in the stock market was more of a representation of who was participating in trading as opposed to trouble in the economy. I think 2021 will see this upwards trajectory continue, fueled by an evident recovery, successful stimulus programs, and a solid banking sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Less travel has made work harder and less efficient. <\/strong>Online work is maybe 60% as effective as face-to-face interaction. I also think roadshows won\u2019t be back for another year and a half at least and with less volume. Many companies are happy with the cost-saving alternatives introduced during the pandemic and are unlikely to go back to travelling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most of my free time is spent reading. <\/strong>The last great thing I read was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Idiot-Vintage-Classics-Fyodor-Dostoevsky-ebook\/dp\/B000FCKCBA\">The Idiot<\/a> by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. Even though it was written in the 1860s, I still feel that I can meet all the characters he described in the novel in my everyday life and feel the same way he felt. He\u2019s quite timeless in that way. Of course, I also enjoyed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/New-Buffettology-Techniques-Investing-Successfully-ebook\/dp\/B000FC0S7I\/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=\">The New Buffettology<\/a> which looks at the techniques Warren Buffet used to invest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I thoroughly enjoyed the TV series <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1632701\/\">Suits<\/a><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> My favorite character was Harvey Specter, but I also felt that Louis Litt was a very relatable character. When I work I like to listen to classical operas such as Mozart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other than that, I love travelling with my friends.<\/strong> It doesn\u2019t matter what the destination is, but the company you have and the experiences you leave with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m not a very organized person [laughs]. <\/strong>I try to be when I have to, using to-do lists and the sort, but overall I just like everything to flow naturally and not have certain times to think or do things. If I\u2019m working on a research note for example, I don\u2019t always have a clear idea of where it\u2019s going to go. As I write, my scattered thoughts organize themselves and I\u2019m not afraid of adding last minute ideas. I feel that not being rigid makes me more creative.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>The EGX30 fell 1.1% at today\u2019s close<\/strong> on turnover of EGP 1.2 bn (18.7% below the 90-day average).
