It's also true that 2008 was a bad year for diversification (which helped only a small amount). This investor, as well as the majority of others, should consider hedging portfolios with options to guarantee that losses don't exceed a specified level. Just like the deductible in an insurance policy. There’s no doubt that this guy had a bad portfolio. It’s also true that 2008 was a bad year for diversification (which helped only a small amount).

This doesn't say how old the guy is or how long he has been investing, but low six figures seems a little low for how much you say he makes, which makes me think he may not be as frugal as he should be. This guy isn't very diversified, that's true, but more importantly he's invested in a way that makes it appear as though what he wants most is to have to think as little as possible about his investments.
