[QUOTE="Speedbump, post: 2813685, member: 75637"]The US Mint will start palladium eagle sales in September according to Coin World's web site. Fuel cell technology is nowhere near where it needs to be to make a meaningful impact on the PGM market, at least for the foreseeable future. They don't actually solve any problems and require a new logistical support network that only exists in very small markets and is quite expensive to build. Batteries are where its at unless someone comes up with a more efficient way to make, transport, and store hydrogen. Platinum is used mostly for diesel engine catalytic converters, while palladium is used mostly for gasoline engines. A drop in ICE powered vehicle demand will impact demand on both metals. If you believe that electric cars will start to suck sales away from ICE vehicles on a larger scale, then perhaps stock in mining companies that pull lithium, cobalt, copper, nickle, and aluminum from the ground is a better choice than PGMs. Companies that specializes in mineral recovery may also perform well in the not to distant future.[/QUOTE]
