Platinum could be a better bet than gold

`` Nick Moore, a metals analyst at RBS, is clear that platinum currently looks a better investment bet. "Platinum is now very cheap relative to gold," Mr Moore says. "Over the past 10 years platinum has averaged $420/ounce higher than gold."'' -- Platinum usually does not stay cheaper than gold for long, though if industrial growth stays relatively weak or gets weaker, compared with gold which is remonetizing for the first time since catalytic converters existed, gold could potentially outshine in the long run.
