Could I use this for other types of portfolios? Not only in pure Financial assets, but for any products portfolio.

How would lottery have SD close to 0?
@josefyuri171
Overall, 51% of traders think this year would favor stocks, mutual funds, and other equity-based investments, despite Treasury yields and other safer cash-like investments paying big. I’m looking for opportunities in the market that could fetch me $1m ahead of retirement by 2026
@garbeleung5237
Why is the standard deviation of the lottery shown as being close to zero? Shouldn’t it actually be extremely high?
@BRichard312
This approach to investing quite frankly, in my opinion, is somewhat dated. As a Data Scientist, the goal of portfolio management has nothing to do with expected returns or what you will be making in 5 years or 10 years time. I'm not sure in a NON-LINEAR system like the stock market is why that would be pursued. You are not going to get it right – EVER. I don't think you will even be close in terms of prediction.
In the NEW way of investing, post 2022, the objective of portfolio management is to increase the portfolio's market value relative to the returns. That's it. Now, how you do that takes a lot of portfolio knowledge but that, to me is the grand objective of all market investing. If you focus too much on returns, you will lose market value and vice versa. This is where the art of investing is truly realized, because it is the most difficult aspect of investing to get right.
No one cares about what you think you will make in a year or 5 years. It's all an estimate at best. You can calculate that but I'm not sure what the value proposition is for doing that. Start with 1M and a brokerage account and you can expect to make about 7-10% a month on that money if you know what you are doing. That's the extent of estimating.

He spelled commodities wrong…
@TeaWithBud
It's crazy that gold would be listed like that as just another commodity.
It performed very differently over the last four years.
It's now on its way to being remonetized at the international settlement level.
Also, it's fucking gold.
