    Damn, if someone is that close to retirement, how would they lose 60%? at that age they should be in something stable like government bonds, not stocks. Hell I'm in some volatile stuff, and I'm only down 36% overall. I've got some individual holding that are down 60%, but those are totally spectulative stocks.
