Thanks. Helps quite a bit!
You can convert 401k into gold backed 401k or Roth too. I'm not familiar with the details, but that option is available.

Taxed like selling paintings or art, something like 34% Fed tax on your appreciation. Add state and city taxes. It's not all roses. More like SHTF insurance for me, not looking to cash in anytime soon.
