      Precious Metals Investing for Beginners: The Quick Guide to Platinum and Palladium

      This book covers the basics and also what you need to know about investing in platinum and palladium. It presents a brief history and background on the precious metals, platinum and palladium, covering some definitions and continuing on about mining, exploration and risks involved in the industry as well as how the investment strategy works. This book also differentiates advantages and disadvantages of investing in platinum and palladium, for example, as an investment for growth and an investment for income purposes.

      Platinum and Palladium: An Introduction

      Platinum and palladium are designated both as precious and industrial metals. Similar to gold these two metals have value even in small amounts. Both metals are in high demand for use in electronics, dentistry and catalytic converters for the automobile industry. Like gold, platinum and palladium have had their highs and lows. In 2007 platinum was $2,000 an ounce, and the price was predicted to climb due to platinum’s relative rarity. Palladium is even rarer and its value is matching platinum’s on the commodities market.

      Demand is continuously increasing for these two metals, but supply and production is in short supply. More than 90% of the world’s stores of platinum and palladium are located in South Africa and Russia and there are only a handful of platinum mining companies in the world. The largest platinum and palladium mining company is Stillwater Mining Company located in Montana, United States. It is the only producer of platinum and palladium in the United States. Investors, commodities and precious metal markets watch the listing on Stillwater’s profile to determine price fluctuations of these two precious metals.

      Ongoing labor strikes in South Africa are definite problems for the platinum and palladium markets. The car muffler industry depends on these metals for use in their catalytic converters and electronics, dental and pharmaceutical industries look to palladium for alloy stabilization. Prices for an ounce of platinum have surged to just under $1500 and palladium is experiencing prices of $850 an ounce. In addition to high prices, these two precious metals have been listed on the supply risk index at number thirteen.

      Greater shortages loom in the very near future. South Africa and Russian the two suppliers of platinum and palladium are experiencing economic hardships. South Africa is having intense strikes and labor issues while Russia is experiencing economic sanctions due to their part in the Ukraine rebellion.

      Platinum

      Platinum was first discovered by Julius Scaliger in 1735. The first tailings were found in the alluvial sands of South American rivers. Platinum is named after the Spanish word platina or little silver. It is colored a silvery-white and will not oxidize in air at any temperature.

      Scientifically, platinum is distinguished by the atomic number of 78 and is listed in the same periodic table as nickel. Six isotopes distinguish platinum: These include platinum-194, platinum-195, platinum 196, platinum 198 and platinum 12 plus platinum-190 or the weakly radioactive portion of platinum (http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/elements/pt.htm).

      Platinum has high resistance to corrosion and can withstand high temperatures without melting. It is considered a noble metal, or a metal that resists oxidation and corrosion. Pure platinum is malleable and ductile and often confused with silver. It is one of the most ductile metals, or has a high ability to deform under tensile stress. Platinum is also measured by malleability or a measurement of by how well a metal changes under compressive stress. Compressive stress includes forming metals into sheets by stretching and rolling without fracturing. Ductile metals easily stretch into wires and can be wrapped around different substances to make industrial products or jewelry.
