Many items are no longer available, and silver and platinum are particularly hard to get your hands on. Here in Japan where I live there has also been a shortage of bullion, both coins and bars.

You weren't kidding about the rhodium, David! Makes me wish I had an ounce or three laying around. I just don't see the same thing happening to gold, however. But therein lies the intrigue of investing. The future is hard to predict. Wow! You weren’t kidding about the rhodium, David! Makes me wish I had an ounce or three laying around.

While it is true that the stock market's short-term prospects don't seem that great, staying in for the long haul gives everyone a chance to buy stocks at a low price and wait for them to go back up (without making the gold companies richer!). Best, Zachary Hi David,

There was more to the email about fulfilling already-placed orders, etc, but the gist was "we are slamming busy, so please call if you need something" Either way, I am not buying - I just found it interesting.

You know, like infomercials "Call within the next 5 minutes to get this deal, but hurry, stock is running out!". I'm just suspicious because, unless you had a pending order with them that they're telling you that they can't fulfill, it's a mass emailing. Do you think they're trying to influence a mass mentality (since everyone else is buying gold, gold must be a good option, so I'll buy gold), or is there really a run on precious metals?
