  Modern portfolio theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portfolio volatility is a function of the correlation of the component assets.
The portfolio on the efficient frontier with the highest Sharpe Ratio is known as the market portfolio, or sometimes the super-efficient portfolio.
The volatility of the asset, and its correlation with the market portfolio, is historically observed and is therefore a given.

 Market Portfolio
The market portfolio is a theoretical notion used in portfolio theory.
The market portfolio is a portfolio consisting of every issue weighted proportionality to the total market value of that issue outstanding in the market.
A practical shortcoming of the notion of a market portfolio is the fact that it depends upon the universe of risky assets considered.

 Capital Market Line
By combining a risk-free asset with a portfolio on the efficient frontier, it is possible to construct portfolios whose risk-return profiles are superior to those of portfolios on the efficient frontier.
The capital market line is the tangent line to the efficient frontier that passes through the risk-free rate on the expected return axis.
Accordingly, portfolios which combine the risk free asset with the super-efficient portfolio are superior from a risk-reward standpoint to the portfolios on the efficient frontier.

 The Market Portfolio
Definition 1 The market portfolio is a portfolio consisting of all securities where the proportion invested in each security correspons to its relative market value.
The relative market value of a security is simply equal to the aggreagte market value of the security divided by the sum of the aggregate market values of all securities.
This tells us that the market portfolio plays a central role in the CAPM, since the efficient set consists of an investment in the market portfolio, coupled with a desired amount of either riskfree borrowing or lending.

 ipedia.com: Modern portfolio theory Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Modern portfolio theory proposes how rational investors will use diversification to optimize their portfolios, and how an asset should be priced given its risk relative to the market as a whole.
The variance of the portfolio will be the sum of the product of every asset pair's weights and covariance, - this sum includes the squared weight and variance (or) for each individual asset.
For every level of return there exists one portfolio with the lowest risk; conversely, for every level of risk there is one portfolio with the highest return.

Market timing generally involves frequent or unusually large trades that are intended to take advantage of short-term fluctuations in the value of a Portfolio's securities and the reflection of that change in the Portfolio's share price.
The Portfolios have also adopted pricing procedures and guidelines, including procedures for fair value pricing of portfolio securities to reflect significant market events occurring after the close of a foreign exchange on which portfolio securities are traded, or which otherwise may not be reflected in the market price of a foreign or domestic security.
Shareholders seeking to engage in market timing or excessive trading practices may deploy a variety of strategies to avoid detection, and there is no guarantee that the Portfolios or their agents will be able to identify such shareholders or curtail their trading practices.

 Thornburg Portfolio Managers Market Commentary
The effect on the bond market has been uncharacteristic in dramatically flattening the yield curve as one-year Treasury notes have jumped up 237 basis points to a 4.38, as of November 18th, but the ten-year Treasury note has fallen 14 basis points since June 30, 2004 to 4.45%.
Though higher interest rates drive down the market price of bonds (and fund net asset values), remember that bonds in a laddered bond portfolio are able to recover much or all of their lost value as they move closer to maturity.
Market returns in September were modest overall, with the SandP 500 Index up 0.81%, the Russell 1000 Growth Index up 0.46%, and the NASDAQ Composite Index up just 0.04%.

While "hot money" is very useful as a lubricant on the wheels of liquid capital markets in rich countries – it can be destructive in less liquid, immature economies or in economies in transition.
There is nothing inherently wrong with high yields – but the capital markets provide yields connected to economic depression and to price collapses through the mechanism of short selling and through the usage of certain derivatives.
Such diversity of interests is the lifeblood of the modern market economy which is based on conflicts and disagreements as much as it is based on the ability to ultimately compromise and reach a consensus.
