				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 used extensively in industial applications. It has catalytic properties. Its used in catalytic converters on automobiles.

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