Interesting analysis on platinum ETF’s. I think though that a better way for those metal etf’s is to buy futures contracts, rather than invest in the hard metal itself. That creates artificial supply contraints,but also creates expenditures like storage security etc. With futures contracts gold investors can earn some yield on the money invested, but will be subjects to rollover losses.
