Running - Tips for Avoiding Injury

Jahanara Nissar is a New York City-based investment strategist with over 18 years of experience as a financial executive. In her free time, Jahanara Nissar enjoys running for exercise and pleasure in the urban sprawl of New York City.

Running in big cities can be a lot of fun, with varied terrains to traverse and sights to see. However, whether you are cutting through a public park or jogging down the road, it is vital to keep your health and safety in mind to avoid serious injury. Running seems straightforward, but you could do more harm than good to your body without proper preparation.

Wearing proper running shoes is as essential as getting them adequately fitted. You have a good pair if it is a bit snug in the heel and somewhat looser in the toes. Even if they seem fine at first, shoes that do not fit or are not designed for running will fail you in the long run by either wearing out or damaging your ligaments slowly over time. To keep the rest of your body in its best shape, make sure to vary your exercise by stretching before and after every run and heading to the gym regularly.

Analysts Raise Applied Materials’ Price

Jahanara Nissar is a New York City technology specialist who serves as the managing partner of Lynx Equity Strategies. A leading voice in her field, Jahanara Nissar, in tandem with KC Rajkumar, raised the Applied Materials, Inc., price target in late November 2021 from $140 to $200.

This price change reemphasized a “buy” rating and reflected a potential 35-percent upside of a company whose shares have remained relatively constant, at the $140 level, since April’s investor day. With Applied Materials’ reported Q4 FY21 revenue at $6.12 billion, the year-on-year increase of 31 percent. With supply chain issues cited, the company notably failed to hit the $6.34 billion consensus.

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Applied Materials ranks among the top companies worldwide in materials engineering, spanning semiconductor, solar photovoltaic, and flat panel displays. Its capability to transform materials at atomic levels for industrial-scale use positions the company positively in several technology verticals.
