Imagine someone offered to give you $10000 worth of EITHER gold, palladium, or platinum, on the condition that you hold it for at least two years. Silver not a choice. Which would you choose and why?

    gold, because it's gonna continue to be hyped to the max and should increase percentage-wise more than the others. but heck, if someone's giving it to me, it don't matter much a nuthin' to me what it is.

    I may go with Platinum.

    Platinum is definitely 'low' in price compared to the others and hence, it should have the greatest upside for the next two years.

    If you believe we're going to have another strong downturn in the economy, then I would definitely choose Gold as it is least affected by this.

    Platinum is the logical choice. I'd go Pt, but I'd rather go half and half Au and Pt.

    Silver and some small frac gold. Why leave silver out?

    Gold. It's pretty, and has a much larger following than the others. Everybody knows gold.

    The general public: Palladium--what the hell is that?

    I agree, palladium is very difficult to sell fast.

    Gold, although all 3 will probably do well over the next two years.

    90% silver U.S. non-cull, low grade coinage. Every dime of that $10k would go into that...if it was given to me.
    Now with it being my own money, a 65/35 mix of Gold/Platinum....if silver is not a choice. If silver is a choice, all 90% silver.


    I'm trying to stick to your guidelines, but to me it isnt that easy.

    I own a fair amount of platinum, so I'm not trying to establish a position. Therefore, my next purchase will be gold.

    Oddly, I expect platinum to do better than gold over the next 12 months.
