The Sortino Ratio is similar to the Sharpe Ratio, it is a measure of risk-adjusted performance which looks at returns through the lens of the risk taken to achieve that performance, but instead of volatility of return, it uses downside variance as its measure of risk.

VETERAN’S DAY: 2024

Posted on November 10, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

GENERATIONS OF VALOR

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd

On Veterans Day, we want to express our deep gratitude to all those who have served in the US military.

  • Here’s one quick factoid: Gulf War-era veterans now make up the largest share of US veterans, having passed Vietnam-era veterans in 2016.
  • And another: The share of veterans who are women is projected to increase significantly, from 11% currently to 18% in 2046.

MEMORY: Fallibility

Posted on November 10, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Memory is Fallible. Think you have a great memory? Think again.

According to psychologist and colleague Dan Ariely PhD, memory is more like a game of telephone than a recording device. Each time you recall an event, your brain makes tiny edits, adding some flair or skipping the boring parts. It’s why you can’t remember where you left your keys but can vividly recall an embarrassing moment from high school.

So, the next time someone says, “I remember it like it was yesterday,” know that yesterday might be a heavily edited rerun.
