Anyone else looking hard at platinum right now? Seems *really* undervalued.

Okay, so I've been eyeing platinum more and more lately, and frankly, I'm starting to think it's one of the most undervalued assets out there, especially compared to gold and even palladium. As someone who's spent decades in the steel industry down here in Birmingham, I’ve got a pretty good feel for industrial metals and commodities in general. Seeing how gold's been performing, and platinum just… not, is seriously making me scratch my head. I'm sitting on roughly half a million in my Gold IRA right now, mostly physical gold and some silver, but I'm thinking about rebalancing a good chunk into platinum.

I mean, think about it. Platinum's industrial demand is still strong, particularly in catalytic converters, which aren't going away overnight, and new hydrogen tech and fuel cells are looking like a major long-term boost. Historically, it often trades at a premium to gold, and right now, it's a fraction of the price. Is everyone just completely ignoring the fundamentals here, or am I missing some massive red flag?

My gut, developed over years of watching global markets react to supply and demand, tells me this gap has to close eventually. We're talking about a metal that's rarer than gold, with significant industrial utility. I know the auto industry's been a bit shaky, but even with EVs gaining traction, there's still a huge ICE fleet that needs maintenance, and the new green tech applications are seriously promising. The supply chain issues we've all been hearing about, especially coming out of places like South Africa, also make me think future supply might be constrained.

So, seriously, what are your thoughts? Has anyone else here in a similar position with their metals portfolio considered making a significant move into platinum? I'm talking potentially moving 10-15% of my gold holdings into platinum. Am I being overly optimistic, or is this genuinely a generational buying opportunity that most are sleeping on?
