Reasonably safe, but I'd hold at least a modicum of gold in physical form.

Fidelity's insurance coverage is detailed here:

https://www.fidelity.com/trading/faqs-about-account

1. Fidelity accounts have SIPC coverage up to $500,000.
2. Fidelity carries excess of SIPC with Lloyd's of London.
3. Note the limitations of coverage. SIPC does not insure precious metals, options, annuities, etc.
