VIDEO - Mickey Fulp: The Case for Buying Platinum Right Now

Investors interested in buying physical precious metals tend to flock to gold and silver, but according to Mercenary Geologist Mickey Fulp, there’s a case to be made for purchasing physical platinum.

Speaking at the recent Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, Fulp said what makes platinum appealing to him right now is that it’s “undervalued with respect to both gold and palladium.”

He explained, “we track platinum-to-gold ratios, and we track platinum-to-palladium ratios, and both those ratios are at or near historic lows — very rare occurrences. That tells you that platinum is undervalued both with respect to gold and palladium. So I am buying platinum right now instead of gold.”

Fulp is currently covering four companies right now: Trilogy Metals (TSX:TMQ,NYSEAMERICAN:TMQ), Integra Resources (TSXV:ITR), Eagle Plains Resources (TSXV:EPL) and Columbus Gold (TSX:CGT). He noted that the last two both have spin outs that he believes are compelling.

Watch the video above for more insight from Fulp on platinum and those four companies. The transcript for this interview will be added shortly.
