My experience and exposure while at the CBE gave me a great boost of confidence for the world of finance. I consolidated my love for finance and data analysis by getting my CFA in 2014.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve been covering consumer and pharma names in the local market <\/strong>and I love these two sectors because they are concerned with things that I feel and live. I experience the food and beverage industry every day, for example, and having this makes me better understand the trends and see what\u2019s happening on the ground on a day to day basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The best part of my job is that it's a continuous learning process and always full <\/strong><strong>challenges.<\/strong> It also gives you a sense of ownership of your work that adds to the satisfaction of when a call you make materializes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The worst part is that there are days that are slow and become kind of a routine. <\/strong>I\u2019m a very dynamic person and on those days I just try to power through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While traveling helps you get to know the client in person, being in the same boat as <\/strong><strong>the rest of the world has fostered new kinds of relationships.<\/strong> They\u2019ve become more dynamic, interactive, and often informal. You get to see them in their own homes and sometimes meet their kids [laughs]. That\u2019s been the case with me at least. My four year-old likes to interrupt my meetings and tell me \u201cMommy, that\u2019s enough for today.\u201d But I do see the roadshow coming back once the pandemic subsides, it\u2019s a critical part of our job.<\/p>\n<p> hat<\/p>\n<p><strong>My theory of investment is to make sure my recommendations make sense for the <\/strong><strong>investor.<\/strong> I continuously ask myself what would the investor want to know about the stock and I write all the information down. I look at all aspects at the same time, so I can get an outcome that is reasonable and comprehensive. Those include the governance, the market itself, the clients, the cost structure, and the current underlying themes and challenges in the sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The most important thing I look at is what would cause this stock to rerate in the short <\/strong><strong>term or long term.<\/strong> From there, you can look at all the other factors I previously mentioned to determine how feasible the rerating is and if there are signals that elude that it could be soon. I create a story and make sure it makes sense to me and the investor at the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I think Egypt\u2019s economic conditions will get better towards the end of the year.<\/strong> The world had expected that by now the vaccine rollouts would be going faster and that the impact of the virus would have somewhat subsided. However, we do see signs that overall sentiment, economic activity, and trading on the capital markets will improve in the country once we\u2019re past the pandemic. Also the narrowing gap between wage increases and inflation is signalling an impending pickup for consumption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The pandemic brought about many trends in the past period. <\/strong>The biggest I\u2019ve seen in the sectors I cover is that there was a huge pickup in the snack food and the basic goods market. Even though cars were hit at the beginning, they managed to bounce back quickly and are now recovering nicely. As for tobacco, it surprised me that despite warnings that smoking could potentially make you more subjectable to the virus, demand and consumption never dissipated. Overall, I would say that the consumption overhang is behind us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I think the technology sector has huge potential to grow in the coming period. <\/strong>The sector proved its worth tenfold during the pandemic and it has as a result started gaining traction and its stocks are performing well worldwide. I believe this growth will soon translate into the local market as more companies come forward with product offerings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If I had to switch and cover another industry, I would go for banking.<\/strong> I like that it's challenging, but still close to home and something I can experience on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The last great thing I watched was <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/eg-en\/title\/80211991\">You<\/a><\/strong><strong> on Netflix<\/strong> and I loved it even though it\u2019s quite abnormal [laughs]. I also enjoyed season nine of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1632701\/\">Suits<\/a>. This Ramadan, I enjoyed Yousra\u2019s Harb Ahleya, Mona Zaki\u2019s Le3bet Newton, and Amina Khalil\u2019s Khali Balak Min Zizi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most of my reading is bedtime stories with my daughter.<\/strong> She loves Aladdin and I\u2019ve probably read the book to her around 100 times already. It\u2019s fascinating to me how she always gets excited as if it\u2019s the first time she hears the story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When I\u2019m not working, I try to spend as much time as I can with her. <\/strong>We watch TV, read, or go to her practices. Every once in a while I\u2019ll work out, but it gets tough to stick to it with family related duties and work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m a very organized person, to the extent that people sometimes feel pity for me <\/strong><strong>[laughs]. <\/strong>I always have my calendar on me and I write down everything I need to do, everywhere I need to go, and even my shopping lists for the supermarket.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>CLOSING BELL-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The EGX30 rose 0.8% at today\u2019s close<\/strong> on turnover of EGP 1.11 bn (10.5% below the 90-day average).
