A method and apparatus for displaying a financial asset risk-return profile is disclosed. The method includes determining the length of a period; computing an integer number of intervals in a date range set, an interval being an integer multiple of the length of the period; for each interval, computing the number of interval sub-sets in the date range set, each interval sub-set spanning the time spanned by a corresponding interval; for each interval, computing a metric of the interval sub-sets; and for each interval, displaying the computed metric. The displayed financial asset risk-return profile includes a total return component and a hold time component of risk.

A method and apparatus for optimizing a portfolio of financial assets is disclosed. The method includes computing a risk-return profile for each of a plurality of feasible weight distributions of financial assets in the portfolio and selecting as the optimal distribution the risk-return profile having the greatest annualized total return. Also disclosed is a method for providing a real-time design of a portfolio of financial assets.

A paint brush bridle attachment device is removably secured to a paint brush. The device includes a bridle section engaging the bristles of the paint brush, a retaining band engaging the head of the paint brush and an elongated band member which is removably secured to both the retaining band and bridle section.

Combined ornamental and functional buckle such as attachable to belt, shoulder or pack strap, etc. is characterized by front peripheral, channel-forming frame surrounding and edge-overlying an outwardly convex, rectangular face which thus forms a backing surface for a generally planar, inserted display card or panel having its marginal area thus held by the frame. The indicia-bearing panel is typically like a plastic ID card having sufficient flexibility and resilience to be self-anchoring when slid edge-wise into the channel where it may flex opposite to the curvature of the backing surface. A downturned lip of the frame partially overhangs the entry slot so as to form an end abutment for the trailing edge of the panel when completely inserted. Alternate construction of two-piece buckle provides flat-sided keeper for locking insertion at entry end so as to retain both backing plate and display panel held together in the frame, the backing plate in this case not necessarily being curved.
