Platinum's unique industrial applications in catalytic converters, anti-cancer drugs, and fertilizer production create durable long-term demand that will support price appreciation.

"Platinum is the magic metal that cleans up nasty diesel exhaust. It converts toxic carbon monoxide to harmless carbon dioxide. It also breaks down toxic hydrocarbons into water... Platinum is also used to manufacture nitric acid, a key ingredient for fertilizers... Its catalytic and anti-cancer properties make it utterly unique."

"For a long time, the metal traded at a premium to gold. But it's fallen behind over the past few years. I suspect that platinum still has catching up to do... once the debasement trade heats back up, it should do well."
