<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buyingsilvers, post: 1479985, member: 18821&quot;]^</p><p>Guess I should clarify.&nbsp; Platinum isn&#039;t nearly as bad as palladium in terms for sale.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For platinum/palladium bullion bars, you&#039;d probably net behind spot.&nbsp; Big dealers usually are at a discount for those, especially the large ones.&nbsp; If you&#039;re talking PAEs, you&#039;d probably get somewhat of a premium on sale, but you&#039;d be buying at a much larger premium.&nbsp; Because gold and silver are more liquid, the spread is a lot tighter.&nbsp;&nbsp; Platinum and palladium tend to sit, therefore dealers demand a higher price on sale over spot and pay less when they buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best pricing on those products may be from ebay, assuming you can make enough to cover their 12% fee to wind up with spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with holding some of your metals (or all of them) for that matter in platinum or palladium.&nbsp; And I do own some of each.&nbsp; It&#039;s all a matter of opinion.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Palladium&#039;s been sitting at around $600 for a while now, but back when it was dipping below $300, it was a GREAT buy, and the price shot up incredibly fast from there.&nbsp; At $1400, platinum may currently be a great buy considering that it&#039;s normally above the price of gold.&nbsp; The fact that gold is, and has been above platinum for a while speaks to the interest in it given the world&#039;s current economic/debt problems.&nbsp; Plat &amp; pall industrial demand is tied to automobile catalytic converter usage, and not so much as monetary demand as is gold and silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
