They might say my sample period was off, ... but that's what the theory-- ... using my data for the sample period that I computed-- the expected returns and co-variances says one should do.

他们可能说我的采样周期是有问题的，不过我的结果都是靠理论-,我采用自己收集的数据计算出-,预期收益和协方差可以用来指导我们的投资行为。

What we want to do now is compute the mean and variance of the portfolio-- or the mean and standard deviation, since standard deviation is the square root of the variance-- for different combinations of the portfolios.

我们现在要做的是,计算这个投资组合的均值和方差-,或者均值和标准差，因为标准差的平方就等于方差-,这对任何投资组合都是一样的。
