And for many who have achieved critical mass, anything other than a conservative, low-volatility approach will put their critical mass position at risk. And as Bob has said, it is a terrible tragedy to once achieve critical mass, but then lose it.

Excellent point.

I often replay in my mind the caller who lived in Las Vegas and had a net worth of $1.4 million and was playing poker for a living and earning $40,000 per year. I believe he was in his 40's and asked Bob if a 50:50 allocation was too conservative and Bob stated go for it and made the aforementioned point.

I thought that call was one of the most important I have heard on the show this year and that point should be emphasized more often.
