Platinum should be shooting the lights out, then. There's only about 130 tons of the stuff mined each year (6% of the gold mined), it has more uses than gold (which increase the demand and reduce the supply as it's used up over time) as 50% of it is used for industrial uses, and it's sexier than gold - ask your girlfriend/wife if she'd prefer a platinum or gold ring. So if you really want a long-term store and one that is comparatively undervalued to gold, choose platinum.
