<br>
<br>Item 1.Back to Platinum.If the price is going to hold,why is the next contract out selling at lower prices.Platinum was around $1000 in the early 80's,around $750 around '87 and now closing in on $500.Would it not be a worthy short?Russia is eventually going to need money and deliver.
<br>
<br>2.Item2.On a 30 year chart Cocoa is just about as low as its ever been.Is chocolate going to go out of style or production ever going to decrease due to weather?
<br>
<br>3.Finally a low price quality stock:AMPH
<br>
<br>With some PR or promo it could fly.Selling at 10 X earnings and just about 1/2 of book value.Very thin float.Initial due diligence below and do your own also.Not a BB stock but rather Nasdaq.
