Dear Sir

I am not able to reconcile thoughts presented on slide 4 “Scenario analysis under wide range of outcomes” and thoughts presented on slide 100& 101 where you say “Seek uncertainty on favorable terms”. My confusion is in case of uncertainty there will be wide range of outcome and one will have to use scenario analysis to determine whether to invest in such scenario or not. So can you give some examples which despite uncertainty scenario analysis should not be done?
