??? What was that? Could you explain a more about the Hursh exponent and fractals. Since we are talking about recent ideas in finance. Here are some comments on Value-at-Risk portfolio management.

Value at Risk, VaR, portfolio management is said to be "The cutting edge of financial risk management". The value at risk is defined as the amount of money such that a portfolio is expected to loose less than that amount of money 99 days out of 100. The broad acceptance of Value at Risk management has led to reduced short term volatility, as intended. However, there are indications that VaR risk management undesirably raises the probability of extreme losses.
