Here is a 1-year view of platinum (blue) vs. gold (purple). PL made new recovery highs this week as gold and silver potentially finished up corrective rallies from their hard decline off their December highs. PL is the odd man out, and bullishness has been running very high here, mirroring the overall optimism about commodities. The parabolic rise in PL’s chart reminds me of gold’s peak last month. Also nice from a trading perspective is that there is a fairly tight stop available against the high.

Hear what the clueless Nobel Prize clown who wants more regulation and more stimulus to fix the economy has to say. How pathetic:
Krugman: Bankers Without a Clue
… the bankers’ testimony showed a stunning failure, even now, to grasp the nature and extent of the current crisis. And that’s important: It tells us that as Congress and the administration try to reform the financial system, they should ignore advice coming from the supposed wise men of Wall Street, who have no wisdom to offer.

Well, he has a lot more in common with the bankers than he realizes. They are both highly statist and favor inflationary policies.

A note on PL — the chart of PA (palladium) is nearly identical. I happen to be short it today.

The main reason for the parabolic might be that a few ETFs on both palladium and platinum have been recently launching.
I don’t have any view on these two, though I believe every asset is rape for a serious correction (but treasuries and dollar, which will probably benefit from the drop of the others)
