Why do we reject the mean-variance model?

Article Abstract:

A two-stage method is used to analyze the static mean-variance portfolio model. The method determines if the link between asset supplies and returns is symmetric positive semi-definite. If so, then the model can be considered accurate. Application of the model to data on the asset holdings of German firms showed its failure to establish a semi-definite connection between returns and asset holdings.
