Re: VAMI & Portfolio selection

VAMI is just the growth of a $1000 investment from the start of your track
record.  For example, if your first month is down 10% and your second month
is up 20% your VAMI index will be $900 the first month and $1080 the second
month.  What more about it do you want to know?

There are a lot of different ways to pick the securities in a portfolio.
The primary motivation, though, is diversification.  A detailed book that
covers mean variance portfolio theory, optimal portfolios, efficient
frontiers, and utility theory is _Modern Portfolio Theory and Investment
Analysis_ by Elton and Gruber, professors at NYU.  I regularly refer to this
book.

Let me know what else you find on these two topics.

Best,
Aaron Schindler
