Investing in platinum coins, bullion, mining stocks, or exchange traded funds related to platinum can provide a balance to any precious metals investor's portfolio. Each form of investing, either miners or bullion backed equities, has advantages and disadvantages. While platinum miners can leverage your platinum investment, they face people (strikes/accidents), government, market, and weather related pitfalls. Physical ownership of the metal entails storage costs, security concerns, and the age old fact that holding the metal provides no interest or dividend payments.

The majority of economical platinum mining is done in South Africa (reported as about 80% of production in 2009), the Russian Federation, and Canada. Limited platinum mining is also done in the USA.

Bottom Line: Do your research, invest wisely, and be nimble to avoid being squashed by the big players.
