For example, if you want to drop your best time by three minutes, there are no shortcuts, you need to be disciplined and log your progress,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in music, the rhythm of notes and understanding how it works is somewhat similar to market movements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rey, an industrial engineer by training, says that sports and music are highly valued activities. \u201cA candidate can come with a very good r\u00e9sum\u00e9, master\u2019s and graduate degrees, but in my experience, those that are athletes or musicians have strong elements that help them outperform in all aspects of their work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from these advantages, sports and music also serve as an outlet from the significant pressures of work in the financial world, a great boon to those in the field, especially the decision-makers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-69ff21f790531'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <p><div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>Reading to understand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>Rey, who has participated in various IPOs for Mexican companies, also highly recommends reading.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone who considers themselves passionate about the markets must read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lef\u00e8vre,\u201d he suggests.<\/p>\n<p>Reminiscences is a historical, economic and biographical novel that describes daily life in the financial industry in the early 1920s. It is at least in part a collection of several articles (also written by Lef\u00e8vre) originally published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1922 and 1923; it weaves these articles throughout the fictional narrative that follows the life of a finance wizard and outstanding broker at the beginning of the Roaring Twenties and only a few years before the Crash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on a true story, it\u2019s a very fun novel that has inspired thousands of traders. It\u2019s a timeless piece, because it talks more about human feelings and emotions than the markets,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>He observes that the book touches upon the three main emotions that people and the markets experience: fear, greed and hope. \u201cSo, when the price of oil rises, there is greed; when markets are waiting to see what will happen in a presidential election, there is hope; and now with coronavirus, there are moments of fear,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-69ff21f7920d7'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <p><div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>The need to multitask<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>Rey\u2019s career has led him to and through a number of financial businesses and IPOs for several major companies.<\/p>\n<p>He has also experienced traumatic, unexpected and life-changing events: \u201cI was working at an entry-level position when 9\/11 happened. Then, four years ago, there was the election of Donald Trump, which was tough for Mexican markets. Never had we traded as much volume as we did on that day,\u201d he recalls \u2014 then there are other events in which he did not participate directly but from which he learned a lot, like Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes you\u2019re a spectator and other times, an actor,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>He also describes a trader\u2019s work as very technical, but requiring a lot of common sense and passion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to understand numbers and market movements, apart from having basic knowledge that you can usually develop as you study and work; but first and foremost, you have to like it,\u201d he emphasizes.<\/p>\n<p>Rey also warns that it is a stressful job in which multitasking is mandatory. \u201cYou need to have two or three conversations at the same time and be aware of many things. It\u2019s like juggling without letting any of the balls fall,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>In college, he learned to combine several tasks. He worked at a low-paying job as an assistant, then he would take certification courses required by AMIB (Mexican Securities Industry Association) \u2014the agency created to self-regulate brokerage firms in Mexico \u2014 and, in the afternoon, he took classes for his major. \u201cWorking while studying was a very important part of my education. It\u2019s very hard, but very formative,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-69ff21f793d2e'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <p><div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>Overcoming the fear of change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>Rey thinks that the greatest mistake new generations entering finance could make is to wait for change to come from somewhere else \u2014 when they themselves are part of the change.<\/p>\n<p>In turn, the challenge for seasoned professionals is adapting to fast-expanding technology, something new generations often do better.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding Mexico, he hopes for greater financial inclusion in the coming years, both for banks and stock markets. \u201cApps and technology in general have made a quantum leap in terms of providing access to clients and we need to leverage that,\u201d he suggests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking investing and saving easy for clients by providing different means and options is one of our missions,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Another change he has seen throughout his career is women\u2019s growing involvement in finance; in fact, he oversees more women than men and says they are more organized and diligent. \u201cBut most important, they are there because of their skills,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-69ff21f79589c'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <p><div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>Creating talent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>Rey highlights that a benefit of this job is the schedule: \u201cIt\u2019s fixed.
