  • Should you invest and stack platinum today? While platinum is rarer than gold, it has become cheaper and many people are wondering if it's a good buy. However, a common misconception is to view platinum as a cheaper version of gold, and that's because platinum really isn't a form of money. It is relatively new to the game and hasn't been around nearly enough as gold and silver. In this video, we will discuss the fundamentals of platinum and what you must know before you buy a single ounce. Platinum to me is a fantastic speculation and could outperform gold and silver if certain events happen and the stars align. But if it is for wealth preservation, I would rather stack gold.

    Platinum is a great diversifier in one's stack. As gold has a stock to flow ratio of about 60, gold trades more like a currency (of last resort) than a commodity and is a pure monetary metal. Silver has a stock to flow of somewhere between 20 and 45 and is used industrially more extensively than gold, making silver half commodity and half monetary metal. Platinum has a stock to flow of about 1, is used industrially which makes platinum a pure commodity play.
    A mixture of all these metals in one's holdings makes it more likely that there is always something decently valued to sell if you need to.
    Personally, fair value-wise I like a mix of 70% of gold, 20% of silver and 10% of platinum, although when buying I use a higher margin of safety for silver and platinum than I do with regard to gold.

    • @SeanFooGold

    As technology advances, more demand for exotic metals will exceed supply. The sustainability will not be able to keep up with the insatiable appetite. This applies to everything. Gasoline,meat, fertilizer, rare earth metals, nickel, cobalt, etc... applications of PGM s will find new uses, and the current supply is definitely not enough. So stock up on platinum.

    I mostly agree 100% with your view, except on platinum coins for which you will always find your buyer: I have 13 coins, all bullion type, 1 oz , but all graded by NGC (69 and 70) and I can tell you that there area lot of collectors out there available to pay premiums. The worst scenario you will get the spot value. For the speculation part of it, I recently bought 2 Valcambi 1 kilo bars for the long term. I do not expect any platinum surge before 3 to 5 years. Fingers crossed :-)

  • @daven6883
    @daven6883 2 года назад +17

    I always liked platinum but more as jewelry than for stacking. I started buying some bars/coins back around 2018. Everyone obsesses about the fundamentals of platinum, but who really knows. Looking @ the 5 year chart, platinum has been consolidating since 2016 just under the $1000 mark - sometimes higher sometimes lower. So technically it looks like there is a solid floor at this point in the $800-1k range. It is presently trading @ $936 so in my mind this is definitely a reasonable buy. The nice thing about platinum jewelry is you can be wearing a 6oz bracelet and look great but people think whatever. Do that with gold and you might get killed. While platinum does seem to have a life of its own, if/when gold does really take off definitely expect money to start pouring into platinum soon after. If gold goes to $2500, I don't think $2000 platinum is unreasonable. But if you're queasy about price swings, I don't recommend platinum. I remember buying platinum for > $1k before 2020 and then March 2020 came and spot plunged to $650. I was in shock as to how my holdings could have dropped 35% in value in just a few weeks -- then I snapped out of it and maxed out my card backing up the truck buying more. Less than 1 year later spot had nearly doubled in price. Happy stacking.

    When theres a run on gold and silver people will turn to Platinum as its the cheapest and i believe Platinum will be worth more than both. Platinum was used as money for a short period of time in Russia and i believe England. Also Platinum cannot be counterfeited due to its density and weight. Gold can be counterfeited using cobalt center. Its 30 times more rare than gold and more industrial, uses than gold. Concentrated mining in Africa, hydrogen energy, medicines, glass, auto catalysis, ect. In 5 years this Platinum will be precious again.

    Gold was money way before Rome. First gold money first showed in Lydia now Turkey around 550 BCE (I use BCE because I studied archeology). But even before gold was used as a trading medium but it was very unregulated. Pieces of gold were used but issues with weight and purity where people water down the gold (early inflation).

    Hey Sean, I'm really loving your videos. No hype at all. There are pros and cons to Platinum, for sure. I have been getting a few ounces, and my interest is more toward the uniqueness, and collectability. I don't usually collect coins, but I am trying to get the British Tudor Beast series. I love the Platinum, and I think that the Platinum is very low mintage, but I have no idea how many they are making. Most people go for the silver and gold (me, too), and may not think about the Platinum. Platinum is very hard to strike into coins. I think the premium is fine and fair. To me, bars are great for silver. But, if I'm spending $900 an ounce, I sure want to look at something nice! Have a great day, and keep up the great work!

    excellent take on platinum. My assessment on platinum is even though it is much rarer than gold that is one of the problems. Not enough platinum to make it an investment play and as far as industrial use it wont gain any real long term traction. Another big problem is most local buyers such as coin shops dont understand platinum and are scared to pay even spot prices. They will pay 90% at best and when it comes time to sell platinum the sources to sell are limited. You can sell gold in a heartbeat. 24 hours a day and get very strong payouts.

    Time has passed since this exceptionally good video was posted. As of now Jan 25, 2024 the price of Platinum is much lower at $897 per ounce which is $220 lower than Gold. I am targeting Maple Leaf coins to purchase at an annual coin show in my city in one week. I was going to just buy gold. But gold has not declined and Platinum has declined a lot. Now I will look at prices for Platinum coins before buying. I prefer top brand coins since they are easy to sell. Platinum is fundamentally a much better bargain.

    "While concerns over supply from Russia may be a focus at the moment, demand declines will ultimately reduce the importance of palladium for the global economy. Platinum, predominantly produced by South Africa, and critical for the hydrogen economy will however become more important going forward," he said.
    Widmer explained that Russia's invasion of Ukraine had accelerated global plans to develop green energy to decarbonize and establish safe and reliable power. Using green energy to septate water into hydrogen and oxygen could be a reliable source of energy, Widmer explained.( I couldn't verify the use of 'septate', maybe he meant separate)
    "While hydrogen is predominantly generated from fossil fuels, green electrolysis capacity is expected to accelerate in the coming years," he said. "Based on the current project pipeline, total installed electrolysis capacity could exceed 1GW already this year and 58GW out to 2030."
    Widmer said that the growing hydrogen economy could add nearly 300,000 ounces annually to platinum demand within the next ten years.
    "This puts platinum on a different trajectory to palladium. While concerns over supply from Russia may be a focus at the moment, demand declines will ultimately reduce the importance of palladium for the global economy," he said.

  • @SamanthaIreneYTube
    @SamanthaIreneYTube 2 года назад +5

    The problem with the platinum argument, imo, is the assumption that EVs (which are on the road) will not continue to grow and steal ICE car share of the market, whilst simultaneously speculating on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs which do not yet exist on the road) taking a bigger share of the market. If that’s the case, why even buy platinum over HFCV stocks?

    • @SeanFooGold
      @SeanFooGold  2 года назад +2

      I try to separate stocks from metals in most discussions here. But you are right about EVs will continue to grow and steal platinum's share of the automobile pie. Platinum is more about a commodity play on supply and demand, and it will indeed take sometime for hydrogen fuel vehicles to play any impactful part. So we will have to see if any new industrial demand will rise for platinum going forward. That's why I have some platinum, but definitely its in the minority of my metals.

    I would say invest while its low because its only a matter of time before something causes a huge demand for it, yes the automotive industry may use less for exhaust systems but as they go electric there may be a demand for platinum for other components and I would imagine gold and silver will shoot up in the electric car era as demand increases for all those gold and silver plated electrical contacts!

    The downside to Pt bars is that the packaging they come in -- which is easy to forge -- can be used to conceal their dimensions and make it possible to forge them. To forge a Pt coin to accurate dimensions would cost far more than a Pt coin.

    I agree with you on everything but one thing... which can vary from different people situation and where they live... I personally think the coins are your best bet because in certain States at least here in the United States there's no tax unless there's colorful crap on the coins... therefore when you go to trade in your coin he won't have to pay taxes on it, as well most Platinum coins are of limited mint usually under 25 thousand.. sometimes a bit more depending on what it is.. Like me, I tend to buy the Kookaburras which usually always under 15000 minted... just thought I'd give you some different perspective, thank you for your time 😎👍

    Sean. Please deal with Platinums ability to recycled. I think it’s about 98%. Therefore given its uses, all those cars with catalytic converters on the scrap heap can be harvested.
    Therefore unless petrol car demand rises (and there’s really no reason it shouldn’t as the world comes to the realisation that electric vehicles aren’t clean after all, much like major economies move back to coal as a base for their energy, theoretically in my mind, your wait shouldn’t be too long.
    Combustion engines are nowhere near done. It’s just a quick phase this electric vehicle thing. China, India and Africa hold say 4.2b population, and as you so eloquently spoke about South Africa’s electricity problem, that issue is the same in all those regions.
    As the English would say .. “The combustion engine is dead! Long live the combustion engine”. It’s a short term blip while the world adjusts to changes in logistic patterns and we re-evaluate the cleanliness of “clean energy”. Combustion engines have at least another 10-30 years all other things remaining equal.
    As for how long to hold.. I agree with you. You need to have some guts. But you could also time it by looking at key performance indicaters of the “developing world” and not the developed world. Thats where I think growth is going to come from.
    Keep a close eye on Russia and the USA’s issues over Eastern Europe. If capitalism stays true, another will replace Ukraine and it’s immediate neighbours.

Plus, we need to stop carbon emissions we are at a turning point of irreversible environmental damage. Hopefully platinum can be used somehow in the new clean energy revolution.
