Description
What is the reason behind this recent change to "Portfolio"? Is there confusion or a conflict in calling it My Wallet?
To me the word portfolio indicates a specific book of assets you are tracking and trading and concerned with the overall profit and loss figures. As a matter of accounting for a business, client, or personal investment; This is a very specific use case.
Not everyone using the BitShares Client is there for trading, or tracking an investment. Some use it purely as a wallet. A place for their USD, EUR, BTC and BTS. Maybe they only use it to load their visa card.
Anyway, I understand the word Portfolio isn't limited to just this interpretation, I just think it is less fitting than the word Wallet. And really I just don't like it, so I had to come up with more of a reason. : )
I can imagine in the future you might be able to define various portfolios within your wallet. Where each portfolio had a different user defined selection of coins from their wallet. This might be used to track specific subsets of their total holdings. Where they could make comparisons, adjustments etc. Or maybe they only want to track the value of certain coins, and not include in the value all the various "junk" the account has picked up over the years. ---- This would be a better use of the word Portfolio.

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. First locate the current “Portfolio” label and review the comment discussion to determine whether “Wallet” is the agreed replacement and how broadly the rename applies. Done means the terminology is consistently updated across the client.
