r/Platinum

Gold has been on an incredible run, yet platinum still seems surprisingly undervalued by comparison.
It makes me wonder whether platinum is being overlooked as a long-term investment. Historically, platinum has often traded at a premium to gold, but for years now it’s remained well below gold’s price despite being rarer and having important industrial uses.

If gold continues to price in economic uncertainty, inflation, and central bank demand, could platinum eventually play catch-up? Or has the market fundamentally changed because of shifts in industrial demand and EV adoption?

I’m not saying platinum is guaranteed to outperform or that anyone should rush out and buy it. I’m just curious whether this is one of those assets that the market is ignoring until sentiment changes.

What do you think? Is platinum a value opportunity for the next 5–10 years, or is there a good reason it’s still lagging while gold keeps breaking records?

I have a lot of cool factions that are custom made that either have units I created, or units I have downloaded from the workshop. One problem though..

I used the cheats in the settings of the game to unlock everything. Though, I wanna platinum the game.

Will turning that off make me have to redownload all of my stuff again? Or will I just get them back after beating the game?

Adding a precious metal ETF to one's investment portfolio is a very good idea. This acts to both diversify and hedge your investments. Many investors are already quite familiar with hold and silver ETFs. However, platinum is rarely ever thought about as a precious metal ETF to add to one's portfolio.

One major platinum ETF is the abrdn Physical Platinum Shares ETF. Unfortunately, this platinum ETF isn't really ready for primetime.

Looking at this ETF's historical price returns shows that there really has never been a great time to invest in this particular asset.

Here is the historical data for the abrdn platinum ETF from the years 2010-2025:

Total Return: 5.85%

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR): 0.38%

Geometric Standard Deviation (GSD): 29.99%

Risk-adjusted Return (CAGR/GSD): 0.01%

1-year CAGR: 124.31%

3-year CAGR: 23.36%

5-year CAGR: 13.11%

10-year CAGR: 8.07%

Now, just looking at this raw data, it shows that for this 15 year period one's compounded annual return would have been a very tiny 0.38%. But, the volatility -- or, "risk" -- would have had swings of 29.99% and a risk-adjusted return of a puny 0.01%.

So, generally, just looking at the numbers, the abrdn platinum ETF would have not been a good investment.

However, the 1-year and 3-year and 5-year and 10-year periods look deceptively positive, as those periods show increasing growth. But, again, the over all return has been poor.

At this point, it's probably much more prudent to stick with gold and silver ETFs.

So I’m a platinum dasher in pigeon forge and Gatlinburg tn and yesterday the slow phone service due to tourist caused my app to go crazy and my acceptance rate went down while I was on the phone with DoorDash trying to fix the issue they didn’t fix it and I went to silver I had to dash today and raise my rate by myself to get my status back and as soon as I did I got a 4.00 double order I was forced to take and I try to go to the location but it’s in the middle of a street festival with the roads blocked off so now I’m going to loose my status again because I’m not walking three blocks carrying multiple flower orders in 97 degree heat
