The present invention provides for maintaining an approximate absolute risk level for an investment portfolio while minimizing trading necessary to do so. A portfolio of long and short position assets can be obtained that is approximately logarithmic, in the sense that that the value of the portfolio varies in constant proportion to a fractional change in a level of a market. When the market level changes by a specified degree, asset holdings can be adjusted as necessary to the maintain the portfolio as being approximately logarithmic, and total holdings can be adjusted as necessary to maintain a specified level of absolute risk.

What is claimed is: 1. A computerized method for investing in a stock market, comprising: allocating funds to be invested among at least: a first portfolio wherein a long position is taken and a second portfolio wherein a short position is taken, wherein the long position has a ratio of its rate of return to the rate of return of the stock market of approximately 1, wherein the short position has a ratio of its rate of return to the rate of return of the stock market of approximately 2, and wherein the long position is approximately 4 times the short position; determining when successive rebalancing times are indicated by tracking a measure of a level of the stock market; and using one or more computers, in response to the tracking, adjusting fund amounts allocated to the first and second portfolios at the successive rebalancing times thereby maintaining an approximately constant absolute risk in connection with the portfolios. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein: allocating funds to be invested in at least a first portfolio and a second portfolio comprises allocating funds to be invested in a first portfolio that has a risk measure that indicates its performance substantially tracks the measure and allocating funds in a second portfolio that has a risk measure that is substantially greater than the risk measure of the first portfolio. 3. The method of claim 1, comprising: tracking a buy position in the first portfolio and a short position in the second portfolio. 4. The method of claim 1, comprising: in response to tracking a measure of a level of the stock market to determine when successive rebalancing times are indicated, determining that successive rebalancing times are indicated when a current value of the measure has changed relative to a previous value thereof by a trigger percentage level; and wherein adjusting comprises: (a) decreasing the funds allocated to the first portfolio, and increasing the funds allocated to the second portfolio, when a value of the measure at a first rebalancing time has increased relative to a previous value thereof; and (b) increasing the funds allocated to the first portfolio, and decreasing the funds allocated to the second portfolio, when the value of the measure at the first rebalancing time has decreased relative to the previous value. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein adjusting comprises: when the value of the measure at the first rebalancing time has increased relative to the previous value, decreasing the funds allocated to the first portfolio to a first percentage and decreasing the funds allocated to the second portfolio to approximately four times the first percentage. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein adjusting comprises: when the value of the measure has decreased relative to the previous value, increasing the funds allocated to the first portfolio to a first percentage and increasing the funds allocated to the second portfolio to approximately four times the first percentage. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein allocating funds to be invested among at least a first portfolio wherein a buy position is taken and a second portfolio wherein a short position is taken comprises allocating funds to at least a third fund comprising an asset with a beta of three. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein tracking comprises: determining that successive rebalancing times are indicated when a current value of the measure has changed relative to a previous value thereof by a trigger percentage level. 9. The method of claim 8, comprising: determining the trigger percentage level based on a standard deviation of a rate of return associated with the measure. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein: the trigger percentage level is approximately 20-30% of the previous value of the measure. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein: the trigger percentage level is approximately 20% of the previous value of the measure. 12. A computer program product or products for assisting in investing in a stock market, comprising a computer usable medium or media having computer readable code embodied therein, the computer readable code when executed causing one or more computers to perform a computerized method comprising: allocate funds to be invested among at least: a first portfolio wherein a long position is taken and a second portfolio wherein a short position is taken, wherein the long position has a ratio of its rate of return to the rate of return of the stock market of approximately 1, wherein the short position has a ratio of its rate of return to the rate of return of the stock market of approximately 2, and wherein the long position is approximately 4 times the short position; determining when successive rebalancing times are indicated by tracking a measure of a level of the stock market; and using at least one of the one or more computers to, in response to the tracking, adjust fund amounts allocated to the first and second portfolios at the successive rebalancing times thereby maintaining an approximately constant absolute risk in connection with the portfolios.
