Buy this metal: more precious than gold

This is absurd: platinum is now trading at USD 1533 spot price and it is now lower/ cheaper than gold at USD 1656. Ratio of platinum/gold is approximately 0.93 although platinum is much rare a commodity than gold.. If I remember correctly, it should be trading at ratio of 1.5 to 1.8 range...
I've always wanted to get my hand on a physical platinum 1 oz coin when it was trading at USD 800 - 1000 range two/three years ago but unfortunately there weren't any legitimate seller in the Malaysian metal market. So if you're in Australia, USA or Europe, this is simply a must-grab physical item..!

AUD may revisit recent low of 3.06 if selling of commodities continue within the week so it's best to stay at the sideline or buy the option at strike of 3.00 if possible...
If you're already holding AUD, then consider doing an XAU/AUD option swap at strike/exercise price of 1600 or 1500 level as XAU/AUD is currently trading at 1700.

Fair value changes with perception volatility

Fair value and PER of share prices of companies changes very quickly in differing market conditions so I would not utilise it as the only tool for buying a company stock. Nevertheless it's still pretty good indicator of whether the company shares you hold in your portfolio has become overpriced wrt. its earnings, market outlook/ projections and regional peers..

Meanwhile a look at some of the companies mentioned by friends....
QL Reso ( nta 92, Q/Q 3.9/ 3.3 sen ). It's overpriced, trading at RM 2.60 and would be one of the stocks I'll go short on. Fair value RM 1.60 to 1.80
Supermax (nta 212, Q/Q 11/10/ 7/ 6 sen). Trading close to PE 11 at RM 2.80, rebounding from RM 2.30 range last week. Worth a nibble below RM 2, screaming buy at RM 1.20 w/ PE 5
HS Plant (nta 230, QQ 5/ 7/ 7/ 9 sen ) Trading at RM 2.40, it recovers everytime it plunges to RM 2 level... This is one company worth looking at when share price plunges below RM 2. Whack hard at RM 1.50 range...

Capitulation

It sure doesn't make much sense to look at fundamentals of a company for great buy at the moment cos' when market tanks every companies share price gives way.. We're staring at the scenario where market hits the panic button at every negative news and investors/ traders find every excuse to dump shares to preserve their capital... What to do in times like this...? Google the term CAPITULATION and do your research ; it's gonna be worth the time...
