Palladium does a lot of the same things that platinum does at a quarter the price.

Hello Tommaso, <<I now wish I had stocked up on platinum coins five years ago and I congratulate anyone who did>> ... thank you. And now we get ready for Message 20493000 which will be available to be bought here in HK as bullion Message 20493008 or the US as numismatic. References from the iDotNet and eslashCom days: Message 13973145 <<June 30th, 2000 ... healthy dollops of gold and platinum to hedge a world I do not quite understand ...>> Message 14000098 <<July 6th, 2000 ... One doesn't actually buy gold and platinum, but one exchanges cash for them as they are "near-cash". Once again, I say gold and platinum (not diamond, for the market is ultimately artificial and GE can manufacture it), lots of it, in flight bags, stored in deep vaults, kept company by flight tickets to some islands with grass airstrips, inexpensive huts, good food and friendly people. Neither the US nor the Chinese governments are selling gold as everyonelse is selling down reserves builtup in generations. Some body is wrong on this one.>> Message 14005376 <<July 6th, 2000 ... Safe deposit is stuffed with Aussie platinum coins collected in the past 10 years. These are not meant as an investment at all. Simply an anchor for the boat. Thinking of it as a mini-precious metal backed country named Jay. Yup, we overseas Chinese are nuts, believing in nothing official and trusting no one we can not lay our hands on.>> Message 14680519 <<October 28th, 2000 ... I am not a raving gold bug, closet or otherwise. I have and do own some gold and a satchel of platinum coins. The platinum coins were purchased over a period of my investment life since 1986, at an average price below USD 350 per troy ounce. The gold coins are mostly of the commemorative variety bought at premium to market price for gold. These metals constitute less than 3% of investment assets.>> Message 14861804 <<November 22nd, 2000 Hi Ron, I introduce myself to provide some context to my views as an offshore investor. My home is in Hong Kong and my base currency is the US Dollar. I am at 8% equity, 8% bonds, 3% platinum coins, and rest in cash.>>

hurray for Russia, Thailand & Argentina ! fighting back against the IMF takeover..... [IMF is International Monetary Fund] imf.org "Viktor Hodos a Russian writer explains that the Chabad a sect which Stalin expelled from the Ukraine in the 1930's is now back in Russia and has the ear of Mr. Putin. If true it would help to explain the titanic battle being waged in Russia of trying to wrest Russia's natural resources from the hands of the Rothchilds. From the wealth and power which Mr. Hodos indicates that the Chabad has, it would also indicate that the Rothchilds may have a much more difficult time assasinating Mr. Putin than Mr. Rifat thinks. A couple of other anecdotal events which indicate Rothchild interests under seige is one, a little over a year ago Thailand paid off all of it's IMF loans early and told the IMF to get out of their country and stay out. Next, is Argentina which the IMF refused to extend loans to and forced them into default. I had thought that they did that with the intention of making Argentina into a prototype for the all electronic money which the New World Order wishes to impose on the world. That is exactly how it appeared to be working until recently Argentina's central bank went out and bought 45 tons of gold. When the IMF represenative told the Argentine Finance Minister that they should be setting aside money to repay their defaulted loans the Finance Minister told him that thay would not be setting aside any money to repay the defaulted loans. Which I thought was being awfully polite considoring that the money they loaned them was created out of thin air and not worth anything to begin with." looks like some countries, at least, are finally getting the right idea....btw the IMF is a tool of the Rothschild family banking cartel, which controls much of the world money centers....article ref... savethemales.ca
