Why I Would Sell Platinum and Buy Palladium

I do not know how flexible the car industry is, when it comes to switching catalyst metals. I understand that retooling may be needed to use palladium for diesels.
Perhaps someone knowledgeable can enlighten us on this.

Safe Haven Investments Amid a Global Crisis

I agree with the author that it is time to load up on oversold PM's and their miners. Oil is bound to go up again and probably sharply.

But I *really* hate this loose talk about war, when a reasonable compromise with Iran on its enrichment program is perfectly possible.

War mongering in this day and age is utterly irresponsible. Hoarding Pd and Pt as a patriotic act (!).
The consquences of war for all of us, not just the Americans who will happily throw away the last of their civil liberties, are just too dire.

I understand that diesel engines need PT for their catalytic converters. Any news of a breakthrough that would allow this to be replaced with PD?
