Hints:
* For each "phase" e.g. leading up to, during, post use 3-5 year trends; compare to industry
* Scrutinize the notes to financial statements * Divide and conquer!
*Typically spend 1 minute per slide
* Each slide should only have 3-4 bullets or 1-2 trend lines
* Do not read the slide! * Each slide must have an important point to make, a "so what".
