March 16, 2010

Interview with Hamad Abdullatif Al Falah. Kuwait Airways is a diamond, and whoever buys with Kuwait Airways will be a winner.  We have the best pilots, engineers, technicians, and training center that serves many Arab countries.  Kuwait Airways is ahead of our competitors with regard to all of these aspects.  Kuwait Airways is at the end now because our aircraft are older and smaller in number.  If we have a bigger number of aircraft we can offer more destinations and with newer aircraft we will be more competitive and we can capture more of the market.

Kuwait Investments, Global Securities House and Gatehouse Bank

March 15, 2010

Interview with Fahed Faisal Boodai, Gatehouse Bank. When we at Kuwait Global Securities House say cherry picking we look at this from two points. One, from the investor’s standpoint what does the investor and what are the clients needs in this market? For example, In 2002-2003 Kuwait Global Securities House invested heavily in GCC and Kuwait real estate but slowed down in 2004 – that is where the cherry picking comes in and where opportunities began to be handpicked. Most importantly real estate and investment are all about timing. In 2006-2007, Global Securities House started exiting some of these investments and I think that that was very smart because given the economic downturn we recently witnessed Global Securities House would have really been hurt.
