Risk Tolerance sounds like a class someone could teach, right?
I will have to give some thought to if I can express some of my lessons in a teachable context, whether that's a post or something else. Mostly I got here just by coping with repeated large downswings and getting better at it as I went along, though.

We are on to something... im telling you...
