Printed report could be generated. : Designed system to forecast the most efficient distribution of investment funds. The user would define the different portfolios (i.e. Blue Chips, NY real estate, etc.) and how they would probably perform. The system would then calculate how the money should be invested for many different returns, each at the lowest risk. The results could be displayed at the terminal, printed or saved on a disk file. It ran on IBM PC compatible under MS/DOS, needing 512K of memory. The menus, data input and output were produced in Microsoft 'C' and the number crunching was done in FORTRAN. : EDUCATION: Visual Basic at NYU, RENSSELAER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, B.S. : REFERENCES: (Furnished upon request)
