Is Anyone Eyeing Platinum?

Golden greetings and silver salutations! Did anyone notice that platinum is near its low of the year?

At a price around $900, it has me thinking...not that I should be looking to spend that much. It is nice to "window shop" though. If it keeps coming down, and I can resist no longer, where do you buy yours from? I checked a couple of the major dealers and the best deal I could find (quickly) was Brittania's from Provident for $932.85 on E-Bay.

Also, how do you avoid those premiums? I do not usually shop for platinum, but those premiums all seem so high. That Brittania was actually lower in premium than most of the generic bars I found.

Before I go, I should say the old disclaimer... I'm not a financial adviser so do not take anything I write as financial advice. Until next time, keep stacking and supporting #SteemSilverGold, #SteemUSA, and #TheAlliance!

The only problem with platinum is the small market, comparing with gold and silver. It takes longer to sell and longer to find good buying deals.

You have a very good point. With platinum you may have a more difficult time selling or need to accept an offer below spot to have a dealer buy it from you.

Never rally looked into platinum. But I'm always looking to buy low. Maybe I'll take a look..

It looks like it´s still in a downtrend. But I´ll keep it on my watchlist.
As soon as the first breakouts out of the downtrend occur, I could think about buying some it.
