I recall some YouTube stackers doing the very same thing. Taking it on the chin for withdrawing their IRAs and stacking total PMs ten years or so ago. Looking back it took some guts to do but it was the right move in hindsight, and faith in the math. I'm glad you and those fellows had the foresight to do that. I was a newbie stacker but still clung back in the fiat world.
