true, demand WILL likely soften some more near term. but the longer term outlook stays intact imo...they've been touting substitutes ever since platinum briefly traded above 600 in the late '80s... and nothing has materialized. imo price elasticity of demand is virtually non-existent in the pgm's (in fact only in dentistry is it more pronounced). PAL is attractive because it is ramping production, and that makes quite a difference since it's such a small producer. of course it also happens to be one of the only two pgm producers outside of SA and Russia....there aren't exactly a lot of investment choices in the sector.
