Daily Reminder to Diversify Your Metals Holdings
The chart is KEY:
Rarity + a decent number of applications
= GUARANTEED GAINS no matter current price
Keep in mind the chart is LOGARITHMIC
>Yellow/PGEs are top-tier
>Blue/REMs have low recyclability. However, be careful, new tech could increase ability to recycle like how Aluminum became dirt cheap to extract
>Red industrial metals are good for stonks, physical if price > $10/oz
PHYSICAL TIER LIST V4
>S
- Iridium - rarest metal, relatively low price, 2x last 2 years, still discovering uses
- Rhodium - automobiles, 10x last 2 years; however may be lower in future as cars become electric
>A
- Osmium - 2nd rarest, 1/3 the cost of Iridium, still discovering uses
- Rhenium - automobiles, aerospace, reasonably low price
- Ruthenium - electronics, aerospace, & medicine
>B
- Silver - many applications, low cost, widespread use
- Gold - ultimate store of wealth, eternal, stable value
- REMs - rare because of low recyclability, good but few applications
>C
- Platinum - volatile price yet minimal gains
- Palladium - volatile price yet minimal gains
- Indium - equal rarity to silver, electronics
>D
- Mercury - hard to get acquire/hold, fewer applications due to toxicity
- Bismuth - various applications, pretty
