    Been weighing my options with the gains I've locked in the past few months, and honestly, platinum is screaming at me. Used to scoff at anything but gold and silver, but the industrial demand combined with the current spot price... it just feels like we're looking at a serious undervaluation here. I mean, historically, platinum has often traded at a premium to gold. We're nowhere near that right now. Feels like a no-brainer to diversify a bit more of my metals allocation into it.

    My Gold IRA is sitting pretty well, north of $2 million, mostly in physical. I'm thinking of rolling over about $250k into platinum, maybe even $300k, through my custodian. Been retired from the street for a decade now, and while I never bet on a single horse, this feels different. The supply constraints coming out of South Africa, the push for hydrogen fuel cells… it's all aligning for a major squeeze, in my opinion.

    I'm in New York, seen plenty of cycles. This just has that familiar smell of opportunity. For those of you who also hold significant metals allocations in your IRAs or otherwise, what's your take? Are you seeing the same potential? Or am I just getting too excited watching the charts? What's holding you back from making a move, if anything?

    And for those with experience, how’s liquidity been for larger platinum sales compared to gold in an IRA? That's always a consideration when you're looking at potentially moving six figures around.

    This mirrors what I've been seeing too. The macro environment right now is making a strong case for physical metals.

    Totally get the platinum vibe! I felt the same way a few years back when palladium was dipping. Everyone was gold-obsessed, but I saw the auto industry demand and just had a gut feeling it was undervalued. Ended up making a decent chunk of change when it finally climbed. Platinum feels like it's in a similar spot right now.

    Interesting take! When you say "industrial demand," what specific industries or applications are you looking at that make you feel like platinum's poised for a big move?

    I hear you on the industrial demand, and there's definitely a case to be made for platinum's potential. But "steal" feels a bit strong, no? Gold and silver just have that historical, undeniable safe-haven status that platinum, for all its utility, doesn't quite match. For long-term portfolio protection, I'm still hesitant to diversify too much away from the big two.

    Plus, the automotive industry's shift. While platinum is crucial now, are we confident that demand won't shift significantly with wider EV adoption? Just something to consider before diving all the way in.

    Ngl I came here expecting the usual affiliate spam but the discussions are actually decent. Way better info than what I was getting from my old advisor.

    Interesting take. I've heard the opposite from a few people though — would love to see some actual numbers on this.

    My advisor told me 10-15% in gold is the sweet spot but I went heavier. We'll see how it plays out.
