What would you buy right now??

Assuming you had an amount of silver saved up and wanted to diversify your PM holdings, what would you buy right now of the following 3 choices?

One oz gold?
One oz platinum?
Two oz palladium?

This is assuming that the price differential is not a concern...ie I can buy any of the 3 despite the gold being the most expensive, and anything I might save by purchasing either of the other 2 will just be held on to.

One ounce of gold.

 

I think I would go with the palladium at this point. It is a fairly new offering in the bullion market and has the potential to become a major seller if only because the price sits between gold and silver ($630ish an ounce last i checked if i remember right ) This alone will give it a spot with the stackers though post WW3 it might just end up worthless

 

I would buy Plat, its currently around $100 less per ounce than gold. Historically it should be a bit higher than gold.

 

Haha! One vote apiece! That folks is my dilemma!

 

If it helps i have 2 beautiful natural examples of pyrite-palladium crystals (I think it's prettiest natural form) It has an unusual property in that it must have sun light or warmth on a regular basis (room temp is plenty) or it will crumble to dust. I've had these 2 for going on 15yrs now, just not something you can lock away in a cold dark place

 

I think that platinum is a good buy especially if you believe that the economy might get going.

 

If you took all the gold that has been mined in human history and made it into a cube, it would measure 20.4 meters on each side.

Ahhh the evil RCM!! Costs me money every time I go to that site

 

I'd take an ounce of gold. Although I'd like to have a Platinum Eagle, I'd still go for the gold.

 

You and me both!

 

Thanks for all the replys folks! 2-3 months ago I really wanted to buy palladium on the dip around 590, but I just didn't have the cash. Now its up around 680. I am a firm believer that all three are good buys. I do already have gold though it is not much at all, and yes it isn't often that platinum is under gold (though it has been for a while lately). Hmm...I think that I'll probably get the platinum...but maybe I'll sleep on it one more night

 

Me? I'd go for the gold.......

 

I think palladium is the weakest choice because it is strictly an industrial metal. Platinum is both rare and used in jewelry plus industrial, and is the most susceptible to supply disruption so I like platinum a little bit better than gold as an investment as long as it's cheaper, but I generally prefer gold because it's money and has lower premiums.

 

Easy...gold.

 

I would buy gold. It is so portable and quite easy to hide in your house in small amounts like 1 ounce.

 

Platinum is denser (and therefore more "portable and easy to hide") than gold.
