Anyone else seeing crazy palladium premiums right now? Custodian reccos for IRA?

Yeah, I've definitely noticed the palladium premiums too! Had some in my IRA for a while now, and was thinking of adding more in a different custodian to diversify, but those current prices are making me hesitate. It's wild out there.

Totally! The palladium premiums are wild right now. You mentioned you run a jewelry store – are you seeing this reflected in the prices you're getting from your suppliers for raw palladium for your jewelry pieces too, or is this primarily a bullion/investment product thing?

It's interesting you're looking at palladium right now. While I get the rebound play for the auto industry, I've been a bit more cautious on it given the volatility compared to gold or silver. The geopolitical stuff in Eastern Europe could definitely spike it, but it also feels like a prime candidate for some pretty sharp corrections if things stabilize. Just something to consider beyond the premiums, which, yeah, are pretty wild.

Yeah, palladium premiums are definitely wild right now. It's tough to justify some of those spreads, even with the industrial demand.

Since you're looking for custodian reccos, I'd suggest checking out Forbes Advisor's list of best Gold IRA companies. They break down a lot of the fees, storage options, and customer service ratings, which can be super helpful when you're comparing. Might save you some digging!

The palladium premiums are indeed eye-watering. My local dealer here in Fresno was quoting me something like 30% over spot for a 1oz coin last week – absolutely insane. Honestly, at that point, you're not really investing in palladium; you're investing in the *hope* that someone else will pay an even crazier premium later. Sticking to gold and silver for my IRA, especially with Advantage Gold Custodian; their fees have been reasonable and their customer service responsive.

Palladium, huh? I remember back in '08, everyone was piling into platinum, and I almost did too. Ended up going with gold *and* silver for my initial IRA diversification, and honestly, it felt like a safer bet long-term. Even then, the spread on platinum/palladium felt a bit wild compared to the more established bullion. For custodians, I've had a solid experience with Augusta Precious Metals for my Gold IRA. Their fees structure was transparent from the get-go, which was a big deal for me after getting burned by hidden charges on a previous investment that shall remain nameless. They handle all the storage and paperwork without a fuss, which is exactly what I need – a hands-off approach that just works.
