I love this project!  Great work in highlighting both your empirical work - and the software (it's a SAS Hackathon after all).  Moreover, I was really impressed by both the dashboard - and the Markowitz portfolio optimization. For the latter, were you able to pull your open-source results back into your primary dashboard, or was that a stand-alone analysis (i.e., done in Jupyter only)?  Doesn't really matter for the Hack, I'm just here to learn from you 🙂

Great job!
