Bernstein wrote and self-published Efficient Frontier, a quarterly online journal of portfolio analysis, from September 1996 to April 2005 - 34 issues, each holding several of his own essays. Every issue has both an HTML index page (efficientfrontier.com/ef/<code>/index<code>.htm) and a single-file PDF (efficientfrontier.com/ef/<code>.pdf); the code is month+year, e.g. 996 = September 1996, 405 = April 2005. The site also carries two runs of standalone essays under /ef/adhoc/ and /ef/0adhoc/. The whole thing is still live in its original 1990s HTML.
