My passion for investment started more than 2 decades ago. After a recommendation from my best friend’s mother, I bought 300 shares of an Egyptian construction company. I sold it later at 20% of the initial value!

This made me realize that passion isn’t enough. I started working hard to increase my financial knowledge. I read many books, attended seminars, got direct coaching from the best investors in the world, listened to CNBC and Bloomberg for countless hours, joined investment websites and blogs, took many courses and started paper trading.

Eventually, it dawned upon me that my focus was only in Egypt and I hadn’t dared to explore opportunities outside my home country. I started to buy and sell American stocks on the NYSE. Fast forward to present day, I currently own and manage a multi-million dollar portfolio of Stocks, Bonds, Gold, Peer to Peer and Crowdfunding across 6 countries. I wish I had considered the world as my investment field much earlier.

Over the last 20 years, I have enjoyed living in 7 countries across 4 continents as a business executive in several multinational companies. What a wonderful experience it has been, meeting new people, learning about amazing cultures and continuing my financial education journey. It wasn’t in my wildest dreams that this hobby would help me save more money than my full-time job.  A few hours per week enabled me to successfully manage my family and friends’ portfolios, worth multi-millions of dollars.

Recently, I returned to the Middle East and found wonderful people full of potential, passion and big dreams; such as yourself. They aspire to save money for a better future, or to start their own business to earn a bit more, or invest successfully to grow their wealth. However, they often lacked the experience and skills to start. To my surprise, after all these years, the majority are still limiting their investment to their home countries, missing great global opportunities.
