2. Introduction


premier dealer of precious metals
based in the American West. To serve
the needs of investors across
America, Independent Living Bullion
offers top-quality metals, including
gold, silver, and platinum, at highly
competitive prices.

3. About Platinum

Platinum is rarer than gold and has
historically sold for around twice its price.
Despite platinum’s many advantages, less
than 5 percent of precious metals investors
have a position in the metal. Experts tout
platinum as one of the best values available
right now in the precious metals, as it has a
strong potential for growth. Because platinum
is vital to industry, particularly the automobile
industry, it should be in high demand as car
manufacturing in Asian continues to grow
exponentially. As a result, precious metals
buyers should consider having some
platinum in their portfolios.

4. Conclusion

At present, the vast majority of the
world’s platinum supply comes from
South Africa, an economic basket case
of a country! In 2012, platinum markets
encountered a significant supply deficit
of 375,000 ounces as output from South
African mine sources declined -- due to
union-boss-ordered strikes and fragile
electrical infrastructure. Should such an
imbalance of supply and demand
continue, platinum investors stand to see
marked gains.
