    Ya - all good stuff. PA up another 3.11% today so no complaints.

    I did find it interesting how many uses there are for palladium. Catalytic converters, oil refining, fuel cells, etc. Maybe we get some element of 'alternative energy' to keep pushing demand.

  10. First off, even a stopped clock hits the right time twice a day.

    Second off, you're hardly 'killing it' in PAL unless you bought at 3.50ish, and then only with a weak $2.

    SWC seems to give more reasonable price movements.

    I'm NOT saying that PGM's aren't good long-term buys. However, I'm NOT saying also that current prices represent value. And I am certainly NOT saying that either SWC or PAL represent value.

    BTW if you didn't notice my post on stocks, did anyone notice the way SWC was pretty much 'pinned' around 13.50-13.60 all last week until friday and how there was one block of 600K traded on the 6th? Interesting price action. Buyout or other large position being put on or unwound? I am not a good tape reader, so someone else can answer.

    IMHO getting toppy here. I think it may be time to start thinking about getting out.
