Abstract

The main purposes of this chapter are to show how Excel programs can be used to perform portfolio selection decisions and to construct option strategies. In Sect. 29.2, we demonstrate how Microsoft Excel can be used to inverse the matrix. In Sect. 29.3, we discuss how Excel programs can be used to estimate the Markowitz portfolio models. In Sect. 29.4, we discuss alternative option strategies. In Sect. 29.5, we summarize the results of this chapter.
