Some years ago, Palladium price reached $1,000 per ounce primarily owing to Russian supply embargoes which caught US car manufacturers, who had come to rely on the metal for emission controls. completely off guard. They switched to Platinum and have only very recently and very modestly again begun to incorporate Palladium because of the enormous price disparity with Platinum. It is also unsuitable in diesel power engines. It's quite possible that the emergence of Chinese car manufacturing will add to demand for Palladium. I have owned SWC for some time with lousy results. It is now majority owned by a russian company. I hope that the next time Slider posts he would expand a little on his very positive outlook for Palladium.
