I'd like to see him working at a job that has a good retirement plan like a 401(k).

Because they hedge their positions with options, they really minimize volatility. They throw off taxable income, so they're good for tax-deferred accounts.

It's probably a good investment that's having a hard time. Think of the market as the culprit.

If you have something that's had a really good run, now is an opportunity to rebalance.
