It's been a while since my last Platinum prediction article. In fact, it took almost 2 years to run up 31% to finally reach my price target.
At the time it was trading at $780… And from there I expected a 31% rally all the way to $1,193…
And it hit that price target 2 weeks ago!

I'm talking about Platinum.
This precious metal has been in a depressed state for the past 10 years.
In fact, from 2008, the platinum price crashed from its peak at $2,308 down to a low of $780.
And since then we've seen it move in a sideways-downward range.
But in 2019, we've seen a major turn where the platinum price has finally broken out of this downward trend.
