Palladium & Silver (the metals) vs. Gold -- since the post Hurricaine event commodity pop: Palladium $181 to $298 = +64%stockcharts.com [l,a]daclynay[d20050901,20060302][pf][iut!Lj[$go... Silver -- from $6.75 to $10.20 = +51%stockcharts.com [l,a]daclynay[d20050901,20060302][pf][iut!Lj[$... Gold -- from $429 to $569 = +32%stockcharts.com [l,a]daclynay[d20050901,20060302][pf][iut!Lj[$go... Here's reality: If you were in Oil....it's been a whipsaw and you've lost money :stockcharts.com [l,a]daclynay[d20050901,20060302][pf][iut!Lj[$gold]]&pref=G If you were in Natural Gas....you just got your head handed you -- for being greedy and stupid !stockcharts.com [l,a]daclynay[d20050901,20060302][pf][iut!Lj[$gold]]&pref=G [ or, you could have made +40%-50%+ on the short side....] But, then there's the precious metals: If you had $1 Million invested in Gold last September -- Congrats, you've now made $320k. But, here's another way of looking at it: I call it -- Better Returns & Less Risk ...not that anyone here on SI has used the word risk in the last 24 months... But, if you had $1 Million invested in Palladium instead of Gold -- you would have just doubled the returns of gold and made $640k....or, an extra -- $320,000 Dollars ! Or, even if you were in Silver instead of Gold... you would have made $510k ....that's another $190k above and beyond what you made in gold. Being in Gold instead of Palladium & Silver just cost you between $190k and $320k -- if you're a "PWM (Player with Money). If you knock a "0" off that "PWM" and you're a "PWWMM" (Player who wants mo-money) and you've been runnin' a $100k in Gold... you just left between $19,000 and $51,000 on the table by being in Gold vs. Palladium, or Silver. If you had $10k in Gold....you just left between $1,900 and $5,100 on the table by being in Gold vs. Palladium and/or Silver. It's amazing... now that Palladium had doubled the return of Gold and Silver has outperformed Gold by +50% ....the street is just now waking up to alternatives to Gold, Oil and Nat Gas ? Whodathunkit ? Now ...after a +50% 6 month outperformance and today's mid-day explosion! in the Silver Stocks ....the masses are just now, finally waking up to the Silver play...talking about the Silver ETF....Buffett's 100K+ Oz's... yada, yada, yada... I wanna puke.How much has following "the crowd" just cost you ? By the way -- did I say that Free Sucks ! Did you saddle up on ole' Hi-Ho Silver and catch the ride...or, were you sittin' in yesterdays news -- Oil, or Gold ? No Mo Spoon Feedin' Fo Free, Slider
