Anybody else watching gold vs. platinum prices? Looks like platinum price is always trying to stay a bit higher than gold. I thought platinum was an industrial metal foremost. Hmmmm? The other thing is that I think we will see silver buyers and sellers start coming out of the woodwork in a big way if the rising prices continue. I think sellers may take a second attempt at $50 as the time now to sell and not wait for possibly higher. If I am wrong, that is OK though ;)

Some platinum jewelry around, but, I agree that it should lag gold if gold takes off. It's a puzzle, alright.

I see platinum as a wealth preserver and because of its history and because it is much rarer than gold it should keep being valued over gold. ( In my humble opinion) I think it is a good bet at this time to buy platinum. I'd trade gold for platinum spot for spot at current prices.

I also think silver will run at 50 again very soon, might just break that fence too.

Platinum is very under priced in my opinion. I started buying platinum back when I was $800 an ounce.

This sites are really good to help you learn more.
