I think my presentation is finished. Would anyone be willing to read through it and give me honest feedback?

I'd not have anything usefull to say as it's not my feild
nor do I have the energy, but I want to appear supportive because I feel partially responsible for branding you as pretentious.

Ha!
I have no qualms about being thought of as pretentious. It's not a bad thing. There's a massive gulf between being wordy without having any understanding of the subject at hand and being wordy.

Y'all knows what I mean, aight?

I dunno, can you say it in smaller words?
/obvious joke.

Anyway, It was Berk who called you pretentious, I called you an absolutist.

I am not an absolutist.
IN NO WAY AT ALL AM I AN ABSOLUTIST.

So you're OK with being thought of as pretentious
because you see yourself as wordy, but not wordy without understanding the subject?

I got Black on Both Sides back in the day.
I took it back to the shop to complain- it was orange on one side and silvery on the other.

I should have bought the vinyl instead.

Mos Def is a thoroughly talented MC.
Excellent flow, conscious lyrics, intelligent rhymes. His stuff with Talib Kweli is some ill shit as well.

I think what helped him so much was that producers were falling over themselves to work with him.

Oh, and I also love the Cowboy Junkies.

Question - and apologies if it's pointless, I've been up since half three this morning.
One Slide 9, Tax Relief and Inflation, you could be a bit clearer. So make it clear that whilst inflation is a good thing for borrowers, highlight that this related to Andy.

Also, BoE is (I'm guessing) Bank of England. This is a undefined term.
(, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 22:05, Reply)
Thanks.
And do I need to define BoE when I am presenting to a financial services company? I'll change it anyway.

Does it flow okay and does it answer the question?
(, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 22:08, Reply)
If you are presenting to a FS company, you'd probably be fine with BoE - but if presenting to a varied audience you can't assume anything.
Also...

Slide 6 (Risk) you say there are 4 different asset classes, neither the Pension or Mortgage slide say what asset classes these investments are in.

Finally. The graph. It includes a cash-investment but there is no other reference to cash or the rate used in the document (unless I've missed it).
(, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 22:12, Reply)
The notes on the graph slide state that cash is there as a benchmark.

(, Wed 26 Oct 2011, 22:16, Reply)
Sorry missed that.
Just keep reading it and try and work out what the like questions will be.
