Did they give a reason for that (maximum) percentage?

Yeah, it does seem large for Schwab. I've never used them, but I grew up knowing who Charles Schwab was and just associate them with stocks.

Jesse Felder is talking about gold on his podcast. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Honest to God, I don't even remember this conversation, but I logged it in Facebook on 5/7/2011

I am officially past gold. Silly cliff dive charts like this don't even bother me anymore. It's just another asset.
