Continuum Beanbag Revisited



Alternative risk measures. Bond duration limits. One size doesn't fit all. Apples and Oranges Lemma.

Goodbye Pork Pie Hat. Computational complexity of financial products. Intractability of portfolio-product decomposition. Reverse the efficient set. Duration-based bond selection. International Finance discussions. Monte Carlo methods for bond default analysis.

More efficient sets. Jensen-Renyi Divergence. It never entered my mind. Big questions. Markowitz's mean-variance analysis. Central Park West. Not a good day for staying focused. Irrational promises of seemingly endless weekends.

Subadditivity of asset variances. Reflections of George Polya and student days on vintage wood beneath the green lights. Cheap Russian translations of academia masterpieces. MIT WWII-supply Electromagnetic textbooks on war-reserve recycled paper. Obsolete vacuum structure theories. Maxwellian reality.
