Thoughts on platinum

Lonmin to close SA platinum mines, stop growth projects
http://www.miningweekly.com/article.php?a_id=147767

I don't know them, but this is result of the crash in car industry, because platinum is used mostly in cars catalisators. The price for platinum, silver and shell oil will probably go lower, and more and more platinum / silver / shell oil companies will stop producing. Finally we will get supply destruction and we will have eighter:

platinum @ $100 / oz, silver @ $1, oil @ $ 10and you will have no way to get any

or

prices will raise parabolic and pass over old all time higs ($2500 for platinum, $22 for silver, $150 for oil)

or

platinum / silver producers will form something like OPEC cartel and will say - we don't care what the price is, we selling at those prices.

Russell: Gold is being manipulated

From Dow Theory Letter
by Richard Russell
Thursday, November 13, 2008

I've never been a big fan of the "gold is being manipulated" thesis. However, I'm now giving the manipulation thesis second thoughts.

Most of the world's central banks are now in the process of fighting recession and deflation. This requires government spending and the production of enormous quantities of new fiat money. The last thing the central banks want is for the public to realize what they are doing.

Normally, surging gold would be the signal for the public to ask questions -- rising gold is a red flag for the fiat money creators.

It's amazing and beyond coincidence the way gold rallies and then immediately is hammered down below $740. I know that there are huge short positions in gold on the COMEX. I'm no longer a skeptic on the "gold is being manipulated" claim. Somebody is selling gold every time gold rallies toward a breakout above $870, or more properly gold at $840.

I don't think the manipulators (if there are such people) can keep it up.
