520 |a The author presents the theory of portfolio choice from a new perspective, recommending decision rules that have advantages over those currently used in theory and practice. Portfolio choice theory relies on expected values.

Goodall's theory combines the problems of prediction and choice, and formulates solutions based on cost functions that fit the underlying decision situation
