Portfolio Rebalancing Software (or lack thereof)

Post by MachineGhost »

There's a real dearth of sophisticated portfolio management and rebalancing software available to the muppets.  Everything available seems to be targeted to financial advisors or institutions at absurd prices.  Not happy!  Nonetheless, I came across two basic Excel spreadsheets that can serve as useful indicators of whether or not it is time to rebalance:

Ah, you beat me to it pug.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
