Pt has more upside than downside agreed. I see a worst case around $500 (perhaps only temporarily) and a best case well above $2000, in fact open ended.

>>>" there are few if any danger to a pt hoarding program with a 10 year horizon; there are no dangers to a pt transgenerational cash savings program " <<< I will agree with the first and not the second, especially if you want to go out more than 15 - 20 years. Materials Science takes a long time to develop, but there enourmous incentive when dealing with the most expensive noble metals. Look at what happened to Aluminum, once a precious metal. Remember Julian Simon's bet with Paul Ehrlich on the prices of metals. Look at what happened to silver after digital photography. The massive need for nickel to make really good stainless steel for energy infrastructure can result in considerable platinum byproduct production. Add that to a decline in the catalyst market because of technology, and platinum could be stuck not keeping pace with inflation for a long time. How much Pt exploration has there been in Mongolia, Siberia, China, northern Canada, Borneo, and even Western Austrailia ?
