    I'm pretty sure platinum prices are dependent on production of cars (50% of platinum is used on catalytic converters). Because of engineering efficiencies they are able to reduce the amount of platinum needed in cars so the demand for platinum lowers while the supply stays the same.

    I guess I'm selfish here- I'd love to see gold go back down around $1,100 an oz so I can upgrade my chewed up $10 Indian in type set. Heck, you gold bugs would probably love it too. Cost average on the way down then really celebrate when it goes back up to $2,000!

    Look at the bright side. If gold drops another $1200, premiums on generic gold will skyrocket!

    Silver Eagles @ 15% premium vs. 90% junk silver @ 1% over spot.

    Gold Eagles @ 4.5% premium with a 4.5% buy-sell spread.

    Gold/Silver Ratio = 79.8

    Platinum on sale @ 65.8% the spot price of gold, but still with a 13% premium over spot.

    Palladium down $39 in one fell swoop, but still $63 over platinum.

    We live in interesting times.

    I called the ceiling at 1312 or whatever it was when David Hall said buy gold. Investors have no reason to buy gold in this interest rate environment

    Actually, I think I'd take silver over any of the other 3. [If I wanted to speculate.]

    I do NOT like silver. Based on being a bullion dealer.
    Prices DROP when spot rises and prices RISE when it drops.
    The spreads are always inconsistent....and.... I have the advantage of knowing WHO buys each.

    But.... not my money. ;)

  • Options

    It's important to remember hourly/daily/weekly price changes do not cause actual loss or gain. Only when you sell are actual losses or gains realized. You are not getting killed or getting rich until you sell.

    Market timing is hard to get right. Lots of market timers win and lose with little consistency. If they are winning more than losing they are happy. But most market timers are on the down side of the equation from my experience.

    I see a greater demand for lithium in the coming years. But that's due to the need for lighter metal, not heavier.

    Retail buy and sell prices may not be the best market indicators.

    Very true. I don't see anything unusual with the current premiums or spreads. Fed Funds and the yield curve have relevance, and so does the debt refinancing picture. After awhile, you just wanna step aside. Gold helps with that.
