Platinum and Palladium

Today I read a very disturbing article in the Wall Street Journal
about the prices/availability of Pt. and Pd.. Apparently Russia
is one of the main mining areas in the world for these metals.
For some reason (the article did not indicate why) Russia has decided
not to send it's raw material to England to be refined for use
in our markets. This has created an up roar in the commodities market
and the price of these metals has gone up considerably in the month of June.
Unfortunately, the article did not forcast a time table of Russia's intent.

Now Dick Sullivan, I know you're out there and I want to know
what you think about all this. I was told that B&S sent out a newsletter
to "some" of their customer's indicating that the price
of Pt/Pd has dropped and now is the time to buy.
Does this mean that I should stock up now
because in eight months there will be a major league jump in
your prices?

Hey Dick, I'm counting on you to resolve this for me and all those
Pt./Pd. addicts.

Kisses to all those alt. persons not consumed with PC gender garbage.
