Bought some Palladium today

Decided to put my money where my mouth is and bought 25 ozs of Palladium today. I have written here and in COINage about how the U.S. Treasury has to issue a one ounce palladium bullion coin this year, so I figure that at some point the Treasury has to buy the metal.

    I see your point, however, would they not have already secured the metal from some source??

    Cheers, RickO

    The way the law reads, the Treasury has to buy all that the two mines in America want to sell it. That will reduce the supply available until the coins are issued, and then they will have a higher markup than newly mined raw palladium.

    Way to go, El Captain.

    I personally love the maples. Regardless of speculation, hope or dreams.

    I'm averse to palladium, but that's just me. What kind of premium did you pay?

    I got a special price from my former employer, Harlan J. Berk, Ltd., who did them at cost as a courtesy.

    A quick look at spreads for 10 oz or more shows a spread of about 8.3% for palladium and a spread of about 4% for platinum in name brand 1 oz. bars. That's still one of the reasons that I gave up on palladium, not as much liquidity. Getting them at cost helps a lot, though. Good luck.
