Your math was wrong then, as it is now. If you have $70+25=$95 left then you are DOWN 5% from your starting $100.

Thanks for your comments. I agree with most of what you say. Criticism and/or lampooning of persons who put themselves in the public eye goes with the territory, but some of these folks carry it way beyond anything that Bob has ever done on the air. As for people hoping the market will go down, I think that is only natural for someone who is looking for an entry point. In the case of those who are still 40% invested, I see it as a vote for market weakness, but not a devastating crash. It would also seem to imply an expectation that after a reasonable period of time, the bull market will resume. It's too bad that some people take it personally.
