[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 606414, member: 5629"]Be very careful using another precious metal as an indicator for another.

Take a look at historical prices for the platinum metals for 2008 (that would be platinum, palladium, and rhodium). Now compare the trend on these metals to the trend for gold for 2008. That is where the danger is in using other commodities as market indicators. Each of the platinum metals fell, while gold remained stable. The reason for this includes industry use and needs, availability, government interference and regulation, etc. Use commodities from the same group or family as indicators, but not commodities outside that group.
