Not sure how you read that into the post, 50% Gold, 50% Silver outperformed a gold,silver,platinum mix. One day when I get time I'll do a more detailed analysis of various % mixes over various timeframes to see if there is any clear optimal mix.
Bron according to your report : Investing in gold alone was the worst strategy Strategy Return Gold Only 214% Silver Only 302% Platinum Only 226% 50% Gold, 50% Silver 258% The Aussie 236% So Platinum outperformed gold ! Platinum mixed with Au and Ag outperformed Gold ! If you look at the last 18 months Pt/Pd has way outperformed gold and silver or any combo of these.
Maybe I'll cherry pick some other dates to prove my point With palladium I'd want to watch out for premiums, coin premiums are too high I think.
Well getting in now is better than 2 years ago. When Pt was north of 2k. I am not saying invest everything in Pt. Watch this and think - is there a solution ? Is Pt likely to spike up or down? The mines are banking on a 6 week stockpile. Would you ? http://sgtreport.com/2014/02/80000-south-african-platinum-miners-strike-for-a-living-wage/ Add this to the smog and pollution in China and you tell me if Pt and Pd are poor investments. They can't shove a paper certificate up a cars rear end and expect it to work. Unfortunately people are more easily fooled than cars.
3 weeks gone and the 8 week stockpile has only got 5 weeks left... But things are looking terrible. 5 months may not be enough http://www.mining.com/platinum-sector-strike-in-south-africa-leads-to-first-death-89472/
