[...] The flight to gold continues, from central bankers and individuals alike. Hedge fund manager John Paulson is to launch a gold fund, investing $250m of his own money. One market strategist suggests India’s recent purchase of 200 tonnes of the precious metal could start a gold run akin to that of the 1970s. During that time, gold prices were so high they almost fully backed the dollar: the same event now would see gold rising to $6,300 a troy ounce. Others scorn the rise of gold, which seems muted when viewed in non-dollar terms. They suggest looking to palladium, platinum or silver (see chart). [...]

I invested in palladium earlier this year buying shares of PAL (North American Palladium co) at around 1.46 and sold around 2.70 per share. For silver and gold, I prefer the physical stuff. The physical stuff is far easier to unload with silver and gold b/c people know what it is. It takes too long to help people understand what palladium or platinum do.

I know Jim Rogers is big on the “other” precious metals. Anyone catch what he said on TheStreet.com last week?:

“Aside from gold, what other precious metals do you own?

Jim Rogers: I own silver as well. I would suspect that if you were buying [gold or silver right] now silver would be a better buy. I mean gold is making all time highs, [but] silver is 70 per cent below its all time high. Now, if my thesis is right about commodities that they’re going to make new all time highs, obviously you would make that much more [money] in silver than in gold.

What about palladium and platinum?

Jim Rogers: I own them all. I think probably now the better plays would be palladium and silver but again let me hit you over the head and say I am world worst market timer and trader. I think you would make more money with silver and palladium at this point but I own all four [gold, silver, palladium, platinum].”

Some resources I feel comfortable recommending:

http://incakolanews.blogspot.com/ (his IKN weekly is extraordinary)

http://www.kaiserbottomfish.com/s/Home.asp (subscription- some very technical inf0)

http://www.miningcompanyreport.com/ (sharp)

There are of course many others. Plenty of charlatans out there. Use your judgement (a blessing or a curse as the case may be)
