Pretty Quick 401k to Palladium IRA Rollover - Anyone Else?

• •Just wanted to share my experience with rolling over a chunk of my old 401k into a Palladium IRA.

Just wanted to share my experience with rolling over a chunk of my old 401k into a Palladium IRA. As a government employee here in Albuquerque, I'm always looking for ways to shore up my retirement beyond just the pension, and with the way things have been going, I felt like diversifying into precious metals was a smart move. I’d been sitting on an old 401k from a previous job, about $80k of it, just kind of passively invested and not really doing what I wanted it to.

I reached out to a custodian last month and honestly, the whole process was smoother and faster than I expected. From my initial contact to the funds actually landing in the Palladium IRA account, it was just under three weeks. I was bracing myself for it to drag out for months, with all the paperwork and back-and-forths, but it felt pretty seamless. They handled most of the heavy lifting with my old plan administrator, which was a huge relief. Anyone else had a surprisingly quick rollover experience, especially from a 401k?

I know palladium isn't as common as gold or silver, but I liked the higher growth potential, plus it felt like a good hedge against inflation. I used that Gold IRA Calculator online beforehand to get a ballpark idea of what my IRA value could look like over time, which was super helpful for visualizing the potential growth. It really helped solidify my decision to go with platinum and palladium over just sticking with traditional paper assets. Thinking about moving another $20k from my current TSP soon, but wondering if the timeline will be similar with a more active account.

Any thoughts on palladium specifically? Or tips for an even smoother rollover from an active government plan like a TSP? Always appreciate hearing what others have learned.
