<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TDRismyname, post: 975399, member: 26939&quot;]Think about emissions control... the ONLY good catalysts for both petroleum production and emissions control are platinum... palladium can be used but requires higher quantities and due to it&#039;s volatility on the market it&#039;s not nearly as desireable. Your car has about 1-3g of platinum in it. Your motorcycle has .5g, your RV has 10g, your laptop has 100mg, your cellphone has 20mg your computer has 50mg, you are surrounded by platinum and don&#039;t even know it! And every year they pass stricter emmissions, yet cars produce more hp... how? You guessed it! More Pt. It&#039;s a GUARANTEED bet, if you look at the platinum chart it looks like palladium but 1 year = 20years in platinum, and right now platinum is at a &quot;reasonable&quot; price, not GREAT... 1300 would be GREAT, but it will hit 3k in the next 2-3y and all the gold investors will be green with envy at the ridiculous gains made by people who invested in platinum, as they sit on their 900/oz gold and wait for the next recession. It&#039;s a proven fact that during a recession gold goes UP and Pt. goes down, as the economy recovers there is a period of neither growth nor depreciation and that&#039;s where we are now, gold is flickering between 1150 and 1250, that fire will soon be extinguished by Ford and GM finally producing good vehicles (look at the 2010 fusion, COTY 2009). Once the auto industry recovers, there is a period where there will be little job growth yet the economy will continue to grow, and finally once corporations feel safe enough to start hiring again we&#039;ll be back to 7% unemployment and gold will be worth 1/2-2/3rds it&#039;s current price. This is over a period of YEARS, possibly 4-5. But gold won&#039;t go higher than 1300, and don&#039;t brag if it hits 1310 and then dies, that 1300 = a rough estimate. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not trying to say gold isn&#039;t cool, I own a few ozs and its better looking than platinum, but it&#039;s too soft in it&#039;s best form and adding platinum to it makes it MUCH harder w/o destroying it&#039;s looks. Platinum is the superior investment if you&#039;re not gonna wait 30 years to get your money, that&#039;s a fact. If you do wait 30+ years, maybe your right gold is the better investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
