I have a nest egg - it doesn't have to yield a return (of course, what you can safely take with you, you take with you...) and is intended for an emergency scenario. The amount is therefore based on my personal emergency scenario.
However, I also have a "safety component" in my portfolio. My less volatile stocks, such as a Coca-Cola, which definitely won't beat the market - that can go if "the shit hits the fan". I would then liquidate it. It's a rather theoretical case, because I've only used my nest egg once in the last 10 years (at 20%). But you never know.
