If I had a large fund with several analysts, I would instruct them to do three things: 1. Sit on your ass and read. 2. Write a point-form report when convinced of an idea with unusual merit. 3. For God’s sake, no PowerPoint or verbal presentations.
And maybe you might be most efficient at showcasing through images! I probably have a bias towards the written word. In my mind, PPT is for great for selling and promoting, and unnecessary for identifying, explaining, and managing sound investments.

I would encourage you to add "go visit a company" or "pick up the phone and call a customer". I found it gave context and perspective to what I read. And often provided nuggets of insight I never would have gotten otherwise.

Well said. Scuttlebutt should've been a fourth point!

Weakness of PPT is that it overly simplifies. Weakness of point-form is that it encourages complexity that ends up overcomplicating. I've worked in both and generally found it comes down to personalities and info digestion preferences.
