Is anyone else looking hard at platinum for their IRA right now? Feels almost criminal how low it is.

Okay, so I've been deep diving into my portfolio allocation again, specifically for my Gold IRA. After the last few quarters in tech, let's just say a little more diversification into hard assets feels less like an option and more like a necessity. I've got a decent chunk in physical gold already, around $300k value, and some silver, but platinum has really caught my eye lately. It's just sitting there, stubbornly low, especially compared to gold and even palladium's historic highs.

I left my executive gig in SoMa last year and suddenly have a lot more time to actually research this stuff beyond just skimming analyst reports. Historically, platinum trades at a premium to gold, or at least parity. Right now, it's trading at a significant discount. We're talking like $900-$1000/oz when gold is over $2300/oz. Am I missing something huge, or is this an absolute steal? The industrial demand outlook for platinum – especially with hydrogen fuel cells and continued auto catalyst use (even with EVs, there’s still ICE production for a long time globally) – seems pretty solid long-term. Plus, it's way rarer than gold.

I've been running some scenarios through the Gold IRA Calculator to see how adding a substantial platinum position (thinking somewhere in the $50k-$75k range) would impact my potential returns over a 5-10 year horizon if it just returns to its historical average price relative to gold. The numbers are pretty compelling, but man, I still hesitate to pull the trigger without more input. It feels almost too good to be true, which usually means it is.

Anyone here already hold platinum in their self-directed IRA? What are your thoughts on its potential in the next 3-5 years? Is there some fundamental flaw in my logic here regarding its valuation, or is this just one of those rare moments where the market is clearly mispricing something for a sustained period? Would love to hear some other perspectives before I rebalance.
