Easily remedied at some opportune time, should you be so inclined.

The problem with both Pd and Pt is that much of their demand (roughly half +/-) is related to the auto industry... so if the auto industry goes south, it cant help but effect demand and therefore price.

So, if you think auto demand in China has nowhere to go but up... (without pause)... seems like Pd is a natural... as most of its use is for gasoline engines, although more is being used in diesel than before.

If however, we hit a rough spot, a world wide decline in auto production... well then, prices might get cheaper.

Right now of course, its a hard asset play against USD.
