really open ended question. I would think as long as you realized 8.8% is almost 30% annual which is a strong competitive return and you provided a good explanation for a not too crazy yet no too-risk averse strategy then it should have been fine. I think they were just looking for you to be able to explain a strategy and be someone who is knowledgeable on current market trends, etc.

What would I say? Something stupid probably and I would have bombed it. I think its a great question to ask though. I'll get back to you if I think of something worthwhile.
