Yes, I'm certainly going for the sensationalist headline with this.

But one of my formerly-favorite personal finance bloggers, who has not been heard from on his blog in 5 months, lost $75,000 more on his portfolio since I last wrote on it. I calculate PFBlog's investments at $737,000, where they stood at $896,000 in May. That's down $160,000, or 17%. Ouch.

I'm not sure he could have picked a worse batch of stocks to invest in: AIG, eBay, and American Express. Coupled with steep 30-40% losses in international mutual funds.
