Re: Secure F vs. Optimal F?

I think the problem with maximizing TWR/dd is that the f value which
maximizes this approaches the optimal f as the number of HPRs
increases...Ralph

btw, I often use this so-called secure f, which is just another value
for f "left" of optimal f, but I do it for more than 1 market system,
andf I make the rather conservative (pessimistic) albeit realistic
assumption that the correlations of all market systems reduce to
+1........maybe I'm just afraid of the universe being perversely
oriented against me!
