<But, do I understand you to say that ...if I invest $100 in LSI and if I lost 50% or $50 it will be twice as harmful as a gain of 50% which is still $50...and... will be twice as harmful.

Didn't I lose $50 either way. >

True, but I think his point is that once you lose 50% and your $100 is now $50, it takes a 100% gain from that point to recover the $50 you lost. (The 100% gain required to get it back is twice the 50% loss.)
