• maintaining a standard time series for comparison with the time series corresponding to the weight and the desirability of each of the assets in the portfolio;
• displaying, for each asset in the portfolio, a quantity based on desirability versus a quantity based on the correlation between desirability and the standard time series over two specified windows of time;
• and,
• displaying trend information based on moving two specified windows of time from the past to the point where at least one window is the most current window.

11) A system for displaying portfolio risk, comprising:

• maintain a standard time series for comparison with the time series corresponding to the weight and the desirability of each of the assets in the portfolio;
• a display module coupled to the first module an configured to:
• display, for each asset in the portfolio, a quantity based on desirability versus a quantity based on the correlation between desirability and the standard time series over two specified windows of time;
