Dear Platinum, We Need To Talk... | Why Are You So CHEAP And Worth Less than HALF of GOLD!?!

Best time to accumulate is when it’s unloved and unpopular. Stacking platinum hand over fist knowing it’s selling for the cost to extract out of the ground. Also 20-30 times rarer then gold 1/3 of the price of gold!

Sell your platinum now? Are you mad? This is when you buy. Platinum silver ratio is at an all time low. If you're thinking of selling now you bought too high. It's obvious what will happen eventually so in the short term I am very happy to see it go down and will continue to buy until there's no more for sale-- we are already practically at that point now. See the amazing low price as what it is--a gift from God!

Bought my first oz of platinum 2 days ago and later found this video. Maybe justifying my purchase. I see it as undervalued and the "best buy". Never been into it but that just changed. Now I have 3 metals in my stack.

Costco started selling platinum bullion so expect demand to go way up! I'm in the same boat as you, I don't think gold will drop significantly unless the federal reserve gets abolished or something, but even still, platinum is wearable as jewelry, and with wear supposedly gets more brilliant over time. I don't know. I say it's a no brainer. Current world economic situation, terrible. Bullion of any sort looking very attractive right now. Especially considering the rarity of platinum. Silver is not rare there's still lots sitting in mines waiting for the price to rise before they dig it up.

Retail here (Australia), you can get 2.4 oz of platinum coins, for a one ounce of gold. So the ratio keeps slipping away. Well until that gold pull back. I stack collector platinum bullion as well. It's a cheap high psychologically and a long term play. A couple of ounces a year isn't going to wreck my gold goals.

There are pretty massive premiums though.

3 things I have learned since buying my stack. How cheap the silver price is. I was really surprised. (Still can't get my head around that one). Platinum in the 70's and mid 80's was very expensive compared to gold. In terms of wedding bands anyway. And more frustrating, I always thought gold was really expensive until I looked back on historical price charts. Back then, the sovereign ring was a big fashion thing.

Platinum prices won't rise significantly until South Africa slows down production. But mine employment has become a political hot potato. There is huge political pressure on the mine companies there to keep employment levels high. Past attempts to bring supply in line with demand (with the corresponding job layoffs) have been met with riots. So, there is only so much scaling back they can do. Google news stories about the layoffs at "Sibanye-Stillwater mine". Some cuts were made there by casting blame on the Americans and Russians (e.g. they say America allowed Russia to dump its platinum strategic reserves on market to aid ailing auto industry). So, far, it hasn't led to political upheaval. This has lifted platinum prices a little bit. If they can scale back production some more, we will see the platinum price rise substantially.

[@DA-lq9kp]

The Pt price is not going anywhere soon. Industrial metal, there is a surplus and ZA are actively promoting mining to help with employment. The redeeming factor is that Pt is a wonderful tactile metal. I have been fascinated ever since drawing a mixture of H2 and N2 over a red hot platinum wire at school, seeing the wire continue to glow and smelling ammonia. Having carried 10 kg of Ag metal upstairs yesterday, it reminded me that Pt is a much better stash than Ag considering their respective weight to cost ratios. I have a 1 kg of Pt but purely as an indulgence. If you are into metal investments then it should be Au every day. Regard all else through an industrial lens...

No surplus since 2022. 2025 is projected to be the third year of global supply deficit. I wouldn't touch gold at the current ratio unless I needed it to trade in a Mad Max situation.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells use platinum, but that market is about 10 years in the making.
