Precious Metals

Gold | view listings

Many people think gold is a commodity like copper, zinc or pork bellies, but it has 3,000 years of history as money. No government created it by edict, unlike today’s fiat (paper) currencies. Gold was adopted for use on its own merits, and it was and still is the best form of money. Currently, we are witnessing a relatively new, 37-year global experiment in paper money. All prior paper money experiments ended in hyperinflation with the currencies becoming worthless. All previous hyperinflations were contained within a single country, but this time, because of the reserve status of the US dollar, it is likely to be global in nature.

Silver | view listings

Most of the aboveground reserves of silver have been depleted. Most of the silver that is produced is consumed each and every year. Silver has two demand drivers – monetary and industrial. The number of industrial applications is growing every year while monetary demand is also growing. It is important to remember that “silver” literally means “money” in several languages.

Platinum | view listings

Platinum is thirty times rarer than gold. It takes six months to get an ounce of platinum out of roughly 10,000 tonnes of ore. Currently, almost all the platinum produced originates in South Africa, the mines are miles underground and electricity intensive.Although there are other precious metals such as palladium, rodium and iridium, only gold, silver and platinum have dual roles as monetary assets as well as industrial commodities.
