A blowup is an event that makes it difficult/impossible to recover from. LMVTX had such an event, imo: finance.yahoo.com Many investors in the market are likewise. Most of us here recovered, I suspect. Some folks I know from another message board have done extraordinary well. The blowup is a concern for traders mostly but value investors can get into the same situation with a concentrated portfolio or when doing concentrated bets. So I think that Black Swan events are not just a concern for traders. Probably enough discussion on this subject for this thread.
