Yes, but in a vehicle that doesn't have (or need) a catalytical converter there wouldn't be any platinum or palladium, thus my point. With the...
Yes, but only if the defacing/altering is for the purpose of fraud, which would apply if this were a fake error. It obviously doesn't apply to a...

The other problem with palladium is that once the internal combustion powered verhicles are replaced, then it will lose it's main function. No...
I don't know, I only have the perspective of a few small-time investors (me and my dad and my brother), but it is certainly possible that someone...
