LT PM Charts ----- Well I learned something that I was not expecting to today.... Californium ......... is very expensive on that diagram..
The High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, started producing small batches of californium in the 1960s. [36] By 1995, the HFIR nominally produced 500 milligrams (0.018 oz) of californium annually. [37] Plutonium supplied by the United Kingdom to the United States under the 1958 US-UK Mutual Defence Agreement was used for californium production. [38]


I bet that the Flux Capacitor that was written into the story line of "Back to the Future" got it's name after the HFIR at the Oak Ridge National Lab......

I find it very interesting how the relative prices of Gold Platinum and Palladium change dramatically over time

Platinum crash in the GFC in 2008



While Palladium completely collapsed in the Big Bear Market of 2000-2002



other Long terms charts of PM's and spreads between them...
