Before revision:  As an interesting outcome of this approach, intra-day patterns are recovered without the need of any cross-sectional averaging, allowing, for instance, to estimate the real-time response of the market covariances to macro-news announcements  .
After revision:  As an interesting outcome of this approach, intra-day patterns are recovered without the need of any cross-sectional averaging, allowing, for instance, to estimate the real-time response of the market covariances to macro-news announcements and to build intraday portfolios with very short optimization horizons .
