I am buying the metal. My understanding is that SWC's production costs are considerably more than the price of the metal right now -- they stay in business strictly because they have presold some of their production at more than double current prices a number of years into the future. In addition to jewelry, palladium can completely substitute platinum in catalytic converters (you just need 25% more), and has some exciting potential for use in fuel cells. Russia is the main producer right now.
