Default Re: what should i be doing with surplus bankroll?

so before you ask me another one, please answer what you'd rather use if not the sharpe ratio to compare attractiveness of an investment?

Speaking only for retirement investing:

Return(include all costs), Volatility, Kurtosis, Skewness
Human Capital Risk

But really all those boil down to a probabilistic distribution of outcomes (in this case, age when we can retire).

A set of parameters should be constructed for those according to an individual's need and then portfolios should be compared based on their adherence to the parameter set.
