never, ever, ever trust a mainstream journo sure, if you want to buy bullion from major dealers, some are closed over the xmas break, so there is little way to verify the assertion that there is none to be had but, you can still buy palladium from ABC sydney (this journo's stamping ground), online, if you are a registered customer, see here: http://www.abcbullion.com.au/index.php/default/product/36/palladium this journo perhaps has nfi, but it is nice to see even a mention of pms. Any news is publicity. However, the article seems to extol the virtues of the ETFs, which only encourages the custodian scum. Looks like a promotion to buy into ETFs of many stripes, including government bonds. Is the journo right about this 60% rise in palladium in 2010 - I thought it was more like 76% - but I'm just too bone idle to check myself.
