Wade: Good story.

It is a lesson that everyone should learn BEFORE they HAVE to learn it the hard way. SSK is expressed it well also. Obviously, the younger a person is the more risk they can afford to take, but there is risk and then there is risk. I would consider reasonable risk for a 20 year old to be higher beta, micro cap stocks versus DOW stocks, but diversification should never be compromised IMO.
