Palladium - An Investment Alternative to Gold, Silver, or

Platinum

In addition to buying and selling silver, gold, and platinum, Independent Living Bullion also

deals in a lesser-known precious metal: palladium. Several industrial applications use palladium, such as catalytic converters, which use it and platinum to remove hydrocarbons.

Palladium also appears in surgical instruments, and is used in watch making and

dentistry.

Many precious metal buyers consider palladium an industrial product and thus do not see it as an investment. Some jewelry includes palladium, however, either by itself or alloyed

with gold. One can invest indirectly in the metal by purchasing shares of exchange

traded funds. Even better, however, dealers like IndependentLivingBullion.com (1-800-800-

1865) see palladium coins and bars are low prices. Because palladium represents a recent market segment, prices have fluctuated over the years, discouraging potential investors.

Independent Living Bullion recognizes that palladium offers unique investment

opportunities and challenges. The metal is uncommon and production remains limited.

The majority of the world’s supply comes from Russia and South Africa, with lesser amounts mined in Canada and the United States. Its

scarcity makes it a good buy.
