95% of investors cannot tolerate the swings of such a portfolio, perhaps Curtains is the exception. Will you be happy if the market takes another 47% tumble? I'd wager he won't be.

by "cannot tolerate", you mean sell shares of their funds, right? big difference between not being happy about a 47% dive and selling shares because of it. most poker-playing ppl on this site are considerably more immune to fluctuations than your avg investor.

47%? I don't care, I mean I'd be a little annoyed but no chance I'd sell my shares!

Just out of curiosity when did the market drop that much? I know it dropped a lot maybe 5-6 years ago, but did it really drop that much?
