back in 2001 i wrote to boxer-downbythe river Member 988914 that as far as i was concerned, to invest in china and investing in gold is the same trade, and i am still of this opinion, only more convinced than back then.

... not expensive enough

<<... and 10 ounces of Platinum at $1400>> education.jlab.org
Estimated Crustal Abundance: 5×10-3 milligrams per kilogram

... way too cheap - how many ounces of the very useful stuff do you think there are on this planet?

compared to use-less gold education.jlab.org

recommendation: i urge you to consider buying back the platinum with ever less worthwhile dollars by and by, repent, seek redemption, and leave such platinum hoard to the next generation, in the form of bullion or grand complication equation of time machines.

follow-on suggestion: never ever sell platinum again. for it is like a particularly nice piece of ocean frontage real estate in a very crowded metropolis, once sold, difficult to get back.
