Stillwater Mining Company (SWC)

Supply of platinum from Africa has seen a slowdown due to concerns about electricity supply. This will cause increased prices for platinum over the short term. Some "experts predict this problem could presist for a longer term.

Metal prices way up since most of current SWC contracts to seel metals at prices that are now way below spot price. As soon as these contracts expire during 2nd quarter, SWC will be able to sell at much higher prices which adds no cost / expenses to produce the metals, but increases sale price dramatically. This should add very heavily in a positive manner to earnings.

With palladium supplies from russia assumed to be diminishing, and very few deposits available to mine, this spec stock will surely go up. There are only 2 palladium miners in the western hemisphere, PAL and SWC. Both will do well - palladium is a very rare but very important metal! Its not only precious, it's industrial.

Palladium and Platimun are highly useful industrial metals because of their catalytic properties.

Import of at least 5 chinese cars which do not have catalyst

converters to U.S.A. These cars will sell fully loaded for under

$10,000. No one bought Japanese cars before the 1973 oil

embargo.Detroit tried to make smaller cars, but failed in quality.

Chinese manufacters lack quality, but Japan will take of China's

problem in this area.Also being that American is in the Green

Earth phase,future cars sold in China and India will have convertors.

Palladium is more malleable than gold... Mark my words: This is going to be the next big hit in the Dentistry field. It does not get any cheaper than this. Palladium = Bling Bling!

This is a platinum,palladium play. I live about 50 miles from the mine, only one in the US by the way. The just renegotiated the contract with the miners and layed off some people. When the commodities pop, so should the weasel. The auto industry has a lot to do with this company, catallytic converters and the like. For me it's local. I think it'll be a good one.

price of platinum will skyrocket as the world economic situation continues to decline

PGM's will bounce back, Look for even bigger bounce from these undervalued mining companys. BUY

When things turn around it will be a result of the governments around the world having pumped money of all kinds into the system. This will cause a surge in inflation as economies start to tick up. That's why I've been and continue to be bullish on precious metals and the miners of said metals. Really, anything that is sensitive to inflation is a good place to be.

The armageddon nuts and gold bugs always think that gold is the place to be, but in this case that does not mean they are wrong.

You can blame TMFBreakerDave for me adding pitches to so many of my picks.

One of the best Gold/Silver rush play.

Platinum prices are just starting to spike... I think that it has some room to run. It's pretty low atm...

because currency is just paper.

palladium and platinium on high demand

It doesn't get much cheaper than this, folks (though PAL is probably an even better value). What's more, palladium looks to have a substantial upside in the making, though the timing will be tricky.

Good for the long-term...

Commodity prices.value of palladium / platinum vs gold and limited supplies world wide. Increasing uses in medical / and chemical industries. Volatile yes but cyclical to a degree at the same time. Seems to range betwenn 8-15 over a year each year so a question of timing with the possibility of a breakout?? at some point.

This stock is oversold and has been pushed down by short traders. The prices of Palladium and Platinum are at multi year highs and climbing. Russian Paladium stockpiles may be running out and the other primary producer (South Africa) is in a downward spiral of overused/undermaintained, electrical infrastructure with power subsidised to the point where they can't even buy good quality coal to run their generators let alone afford the massive amounts of repair/maintanence and new installation that would be required to keep the wheels on. If it gets fixed it will take years and in the mean time the only way the big miners can get enouph electricity is to generate their own at a time when their mines are getting deeper and requiremore power to keep temperatures in a workable zone.

Now while this perfect storm is brewing the whole world is yelling that we need to get greener now or we're all gonna die and do you know what is required in every catalitic converter to keep pollution down? You guessed it platinum or palladium so.

SWC was hurt last quarter by their hedged platinum but those options are expiring this quarter and then it up up and away.

In conclusion whats not to like?
