In this article in the Financial Post, Nick Berisheff of BMG BullionBars is quoted as favouring platinum over gold at this point. Here is an excerpt from the article: "

After a year in which everyone seemed to be backing the truck up for gold, investors are turning their attention to platinum, an outperformer versus gold in 2009 that continues to offer better prospects for price appreciation.

In the past month alone, platinum and its near cousin palladium have climbed as much as 12% and 15%, reaching a peak last week after getting a huge boost from the launch of two exchange-traded funds in the United States."
