Suppose that an investor would like to split $100,000 between Stocks A and Stock B “today” so as to maximize the expected profit “tomorrow” irrespective of the standard deviation of the resulting profit. In other words, suppose that the investor “drops” the constraint on the maximum allowable value of the standard deviation of profits, while keeping the rest of the constraints in the portfolio problem. Which of the following choices describes the optimal portfolio in this case?
