Yes, they should always know exactly where they should have a stop loss as they place an order initiating a position, but you can't convince them of that. In this bull market, even contemplating a stop loss order has been interpreted as "negative thinking" on my part, and in opposition to the "be long and strong" stance that many investors have taken. I have shut up (except at my own site) to avoid irritating people, and continue to trade as I have always done - with total risk and money management calculations done *before* the trade is made.

This time, even though it's "only down 50%", it's not like something going from $10 to $5. When something goes from $200 to $100, real wealth is destroyed. I think that's why so many message boards are quiet - they're all praying at the moment.
