a 5% pull back from there puts it in the middle of a extremely recent and only a few days long support-resistance area at about 1800. 10% is at about 1700, which is another recent and short support-resistance area
as far as recent and short, 1700 to 1800 to 1900 has been in the last 2 months with it making all time highs along the way. There's not a lot of time to establish broad, long standing support-resistance areas with that movement.
AMZN: Down to $1,889
Platinum..............$764.00 (14 year low)
Gold.....................$1,176
Silver....................$14.42 (will it break below $14 before the dust settles?)

Well, platinum has been walloped this past year or two - that's the reality. No doubt about it.
Is the subsidized USPS still subsidizing Amazon? Not that it matters.
I still don't like Bezos. And I still buy platinum. Why wouldn't I? Buy low.
Agree, buying low is everyone's goal. But mine is to avoid a falling knife. Obviously your hand must be heavily scarred by now. In time it will heal, and I suspect Platinum will be the medicine.
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
I'm still relatively happy with platinum as a component of the mix. Liquidity is a little bit of concern, which makes me glad that I'm done with my registry set as a medium for accumulation. Most of what I add now is just raw eagles or raw maples.
The only problem with trying to avoid a falling knife is the same problem you have in timing the stock market.

Imagine if Jeff Bezos were a "stacker" and not a risk taking entrepreneur? He might have a few thousand ounces of silver, some gold and platinum buried in tubes in his backyard instead of being the richest man on the planet.

When holding silver in particular, you ought to consider several things:
1) Do you anticipate that industrial consumption and industrial demand will be increasing?
2) Do you believe reports that there's an abundance and an oversupply of silver?
3) Do you think that the monetary component of the price of silver is long past and won't be coming back any time soon?
4) Do you think that a "risk on" environment due to government insolvency will eventually bring more attention to silver as a viable asset for barter and/or monetary exchange?
5) Lastly, as Dirty Harry remarked "Do you feel lucky?"
My response to all of these questions, except #3 is "yes, probably".
Time is relative. Sometimes, a decade seems like just yesterday and sometimes minutes seem like hours. As always, I prefer having an asset that I can document and control close to the vest, as opposed to a paper asset that is totally at the whim of HFT programs on Wall Street that's held by some unaccountable brokerage or clearing house a thousand miles away and the Fed's self-serving agendas.
But, that's just me. Your mileage may vary. Besides, if you're inclined to buy $14.00 is a better deal than $14.61.

I'm sure that the taxpayers of New York are thrilled to be subsidizing Amazon now. As if New York had the money, it's the taxpayers who are "taking the risk", if ya ask me.
Amazon closed at $1,502 today. It’s down 25 percent during this market swoon. Was lucky enough to sell at $1,800 and looking for a re-entry point. But this whole market now is the old trying to catch a failing knife.
amazon finally surpassing all time high in the after hours post earnings release. although, record keepers only count regular trading hours. t took a long time to recover...

I went onto Amazon today for the first time in maybe 5 years - to cash in a gift card. If I buy something for more than what is on the card, do I have to link a bank account to my Amazon account or something like that?
I think I'd still rather have the ounce of platinum.

Right now I wish I had shares instead of ounces
I admit it, I am an idiot.
AMZN is on sale this morning
Yup...on sale for $1,800+ per share...time to jump on the bandwagon
AMZN hit an all time high yesterday.
not trying to rub noses. just FYI.
a 5% pull back from there puts it in the middle of a extremely recent and only a few days long support-resistance area at about 1800. 10% is at about 1700, which is another recent and short support-resistance area

Can the OP change title to read:
" A share of Amazon or 2 ounces of platinum ? "
The time has come.
That still would not be a contest...
AMZN: $1,886
PLATINUM: $826
Okay OPA. You're right. Let's make it 3 ounces.
Silver
AMZN: Down to $1,889
Platinum..............$764.00 (14 year low)

AMZN down 6.5% from all time high
Yup...down to $1908..
Amazon.
You can sell it when you want and know what the price will be.
You're a little bid late to the "one year old party."
Your choice was as of 7/2017 & you'd be surprised as to how many picked Platinum.
Well, platinum has been walloped this past year or two - that's the reality. No doubt about it.
Is the subsidized USPS still subsidizing Amazon? Not that it matters.
I still don't like Bezos. And I still buy platinum. Why wouldn't I? Buy low.

Buy low
Beanies babies are low. So is GE. And 1998 Ford Taurus.

Beanies babies are low.
Can we put you on record that buying platinum low is essentially the same as buying beanie babies?
I knew it would happen.
Beanie babies have probably had better returns over the last decade.

The one that can't go to zero.
Wah

I don't care about Amazon, but I still can't get over the $260 spread between palladium and platinum.
My opinion is that the premium for palladium over platinum just won't hold.
Other than the visibility for palladium that was created by the Palladium Eagles, does anyone have some insight?
