While it is classified as a precious metal, palladium is better known as a rare industrial metal used extensively in the car industry, which is much like platinum. Although it is quoted in markets where precious metals are traded, the actual metal itself can't be easily bought by investors. There are no coins or tradeable small bars like gold and silver.

Investors who want to access this precious metal must invest in the palladium ETF that offers exposure to palladium in one-tenth of an ounce lots.

The palladium bar sitting on my desk just went into existential crisis!
 
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.

Silver and gold up "33% and 11% respectively"...from when to when

1. Go to www.google.com.au

2. Type "buy palladium", click search

3. Be amazed that palladium coins and bars exist and can be purchased from any of the three Australian based bullion dealers that appear in the first page of results.


Seriously, this article failed the "Google Research Test" of just doing simple a web search on the subject being written about. Journalism doesn't get much more sloppy than that.
 
I think there is a German based palladium stacker who has a blog, and is a member here. Forgot his name, but its something
palladium.

Precious metals investors and coin collectors may soon be able to purchase American Palladium Eagle coins from the United States Mint. The bill H.R. 6166 was passed in both the House and Senate and signed into law by the President on December 14
