Using real numbers, a 30% hit on a $1,000,000 portfolio is a
$300,000 loss from the highs. I don't know what "only" means in your dictionary, but that's very significant.
Subsequently, you'd need a
42.8572% gain from that hit to $700,000 to bring it back to $1,000,000.
Yes, obviously no one in retirement age should be all-in on equities to begin with.
