Is there a Sortino Calculator for Stocks and Asset Classes Online?
Ultimately, I want to Diversify my Portfolio using it, where the higher the Sortino Ratio for each of the asset classes -> gets Proportionally Higher Percentages...

And, where the Risk Free Rate = 2% (the average 1 yr FDIC insured CD at Bankrate.com - Nationally)
And, where the Expected Return (1 yr) = depends on the Stock or asset class. However, the LT average for it, would be related to Earnings Growth, P/E, and Dividend Yield (for example) as well as the Fundamentals.
And, where the Downside Risk = related to Volatility of the Stock or asset class.

Rocko, I don't see direct downloads happening in the foreseeable future.

With regards to concerts, we have a youtube channel that we use to upload live performances so people can view them for free!

Check out our youtube channels.

I wish I had written this as a response for your “For Love of Vinyl” column. Brief and to the point.

I do have a question, maybe you can't answer it but you're probably closer to the answer than I am. Does J and R ever plan on selling downloadable digital files (either audio or video) ? And I'm not speaking only of recorded music but also of the concerts that they sponsor.

Doree,
Your appreciation is so vivid, I love the idea of a variety of formats for the music we love. A variety of playback possibilities and situations for listening. Music can be more a part of our lives than ever before. It's all good. I like getting CDs, but I listen to the music thru lossless rips, both at home and mobile on my iPhone. With my decent Ultimate Ears buds I'm hearing my favorite music mobile better than I've heard it before.
So, what I'm saying is I like your passion, but I don't agree that mobile listening necessarily is tinny. And all formats have their place - the music lives.
