What kind of insight did you want? Simply Google "portfolio optimization" and you will find many more interesting techniques.

This is a basic LP problem that you'll come across in a textbook.

How many HN readers read about OR before? Haven't read the blog post yet but it seems like a nice way to refresh my knowledge from some obscure lecture I attended about it ~5 years ago ;)

By contrast, you effectively said, "Heh, I've seen fancier models. BTW, you can just plug your stuff into Google."

Well, yeah, for something so rudimentary. Use a library. Nothing to see here.
