Any solid money manager or financial
planner will tell you that the key to asset allocation is diversity. If
not, you are playing Russian roulette, and a few bad years with a few
bad stocks, or perhaps your real estate investments and you can watch
your nest egg go to hell in a hand basket. You see, there are lots of
risks out there, every industry and every stock has them, nothing is
guaranteed as that's how the world works. In speaking of how the world
works, and risks and threats out there, let's talk about managing our
inventory and arsenal of major weapons systems to protect this great
nation of ours.
Could we use a personal financial portfolio management theory to help us decide and govern our major weapons system choices? It seems that in Washington DC, they are trying to figure out ways to cut our nation's budget deficit, and they are looking for the Pentagon to do its fair share as well. Still, our military is pretty important, and if we don't protect the American people then all is lost anyway. If we are going to build software to help us with our decision-making process using artificial intelligent algorithms, then perhaps we might take a gander at what Wall Street has done in portfolio asset allocation software strategies.
Sure, the threats are slightly different, as well as the risks and rewards. The trick is to minimize the risks, and protect yourself from all the various threats, some you know about, some you might suspect, and others that will pop out of the lagoon like a black Swan from hell, as in something like the financial economic crash of 2008, which tended to blindside most of our populace, perhaps in a similar manner to the attacks of 9/11, or the attack on Pearl Harbor. Are you beginning to see my point here and how these two different venues are more similar than they appear on the surface?
Consider if you will a personal financial portfolio and how the economy goes up and down, and various industries go through sector rotations. Some years you make money, some years you don't on some industries and stocks, but if the other stocks are going up during those years, it all averages out, and your nest egg is protected. If that nest egg is "all we are and all we've built" in this great nation of ours, then we must protect the American people from enemies both foreign and domestic.
To do this we must have the proper assets in our inventory, allocate the proper investment to maintain our arsenal, and be ready for anything that's ready to blindside us. History proves that I am right, but my question is; what are we going to do about it, and what decision-making tools do we need to win in the long term? Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
