North American Palladium (USA) (PAL)

fools spec play

because currency is just paper.

Palladium is a dear precious industrial metal. It doesn't only hold intrinsic value like gold, it has "logical" value in the fact that palladium and platinum have some very important and special chemical properties that make them VERY important. Especially in todays world, were going green and reducing pollution are trying to emerge as the norm. PGM's are very important for the green revolution, and I see this stock only going up long term! Once their mine reopens, (Pd is over $300/oz now!) this one is sure to move on up.

PALLADIUM IS PRIMARY INGREDIENT IN CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. AUTOMOBILE PRODUCTION CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE. THERE WILL ALSO BE TREMENDOUS AUTO PURCHASE IN INDIA AND CHINA.

I love metals right now. And this company is sitting on a ton of cash.

Hedging against dollars demise

a no brainer cars are going to increase

With massive infrastructure spending and cash for clunkers, there will be demand for palladium, thus driving mining shares such as PAL.

How did this company manage to lose soooo much money in the ripe times of 2006, 2007, and 2008? That is messed up if they run open and underground mines but could not produce a profit while commodity prices were at all time highs.

The huge recent spike in this stock is from investors sentiment turning bullish on commodities, but this is just not the company to own for exposure to this.

high margin business

Shiny metals go up with government spending. So with the current administration picking up where the last left off, even taking it up a few notches, the next few years should see a higher price attached to all valubles.

palladium and PGE's to outperform

5 star caps (recently), and very cheap. Still down over 50% off it's 52 wk high and showing an increased moving average indicative of increased buying interest. I put real money in at $2.50/share. Seems to have resistance around the $2.80/share range, but a solid floor around $2.50. My guess, it'll reach the ceiling one more time, then push through.

T78 & PB2

One of the largest Palladium producer outside Russia. This metal will be in high-demand once the auto-industry recovers. PAL is in an excellent position to profit from an upswing in Palladium and Platinum prices and the stock will explode once that happens. PAL is therefore an excellent hedge against the coming inflation after central banks worldwide flood the market with excessive amounts of money.

The price of platinum will rise in the next year, so will PAL

My 0.02

As demand continues to increase, supply will continue to decrease. I love naturally resource plays. Especially when they are discounted 63% from their 52w highs.

Palladium, Platinum & Gold. If you believe world demand will increase for any of the mentioned minerals then you should be buying this stock now. Platinum alone should be a good enough reason. Don't wait until auto production is back in full swing.

Potential for inflation, future growth as confidence returns...take your pick
