One could infer that, or maybe look at it like he says:
He doesn't trust the future in an uncertain market and
is switching to a sure thing. One doesn't necessarily
have to go bust to see trends and act accordingly.
I respect him enough not to jump too far beyond what he
says.

How did people survive before health care, retirement and other
benefits, like back in the 1900's?

They saved their money. The majority of people think benefits are
funded by money that drops off some magical tree somewhere, or are
"gifts" from a corporation, when, in fact, they are simply deducted
from your paycheck, either directly or indirectly. In other words,
benefits are just forced savings (not that there is anything wrong
with that!).
