Roll up and get your platinum at fire sale prices. Everyone is running for the doors. Of course they are, price is plunging, with no end in sight. Wrong. There is an end in sight, and it’s very close.

Platinum has led gold at times, and if you think gold is in the doldrums, just take a look at $PLAT. SPLAT would be more appropriate. It reached over $2200 dollars before the GFC, and never regained that level before commencing the decline into the next major cyclical low. That’s exactly where we are now – seemingly making some sort of double bottom. Regardless of the chart pattern

it seems pretty clear to me. 1) We are at or around the major 15 year cycle low 2) Stocharstic and other indicators are close to making a turn.

I can see another $50 or so downside, and well over $1000 upside. This is the time to think about slowly accumulating selected miners. Sibanye are one of the platinum producers on my watch list for example. I wouldn’t go all in, just yet, but add  small positions on weakness with a main investment on a confirmed break above resistance. Those are my tactics, but you need to formulate your own strategy. It feels ‘wrong’ but buying when sentiment is terrible is exactly the right thing to do.
