A really simple flask application about the Modern Portfolio Theory
This is just a simple project I made to redo a little bit of Python and also apply it to some investment management concepts.
The first thing I did was look up at the Modern Portfolio Theory. Then found some interesting blogs posts of people that already applied this theory:

After that I made a jupyter notebook applying the concept of the MPT. And finally I ported it as a flask app and deployed it on https://wwww.pythonanywhere.com.
