Like the post, but the bands are large. Gold comprises 5.5% of my VP, 10% of total portfolio (PP+VP combined).

zero
Isn't it just as easily 100% of zero?  I think there needs to be an "undefined" option.

Yes, mathematically, that's undefined.  I also have an undefined percentage of gold in my VP.  Now, that could mean that I have an infinitely large stock of gold...
100% of your gold will be lost in a boating accident

Is the center of a black hole a zero or is it 100%?

I'm assuming more gold lost in tragic boating accidents was near 26.312378, -70.397133
