I don't think precious metals have a place in an investment portfolio. Commodities are meant to be used. Not hoarded and speculated.

I thought my company had one of the best 401k matches around (7% on a 6% contribution) but I've never heard of a company that matches anywhere near 200% of the original contribution.
