Method and limitations

The calculator applies the selected stock and gold percentage changes to those portions of the entered balance; the remainder is held flat for the shock. Recovery time assumes a user-independent 7% annual recovery rate and is rounded. Scenario defaults are simplified illustrations based on well-known market periods, not exact portfolio histories or future forecasts.

Results are illustrations based on the values entered. They are not predictions or individualized investment, tax, or legal advice. Confirm rules, fees, returns, eligibility, and account treatment with qualified professionals and the relevant plan administrator or custodian.
