Platinum is dirt cheap right now

It's trading $150 below gold.  This things a screaming buy.  Sell your stocks, sell your house, sell your wife and grab some platinum.

Or maybe not.  This market is so chaotic right now, influenced by incomprehensible factors- real and imagined- that you might be better off buying ice cubes and importing them to Siberia.  Not much makes sense out there right now.

Witness Congress' recent efforts to limit debit card fees, and then the population's complaints when banks try and recoup those losses with increased fees for customers.  Is anyone capable of thought via the immediate?
