Gold, because that's what you can trade.
For over many centuries in many civilizations around the world, people desired after gold and trade with gold.
He who has the Gold makes the Rules.

In terms of investment I preffer gold to platinum.
Platinum is usd mostly for car catalyzers (at higher prices jewelry demand diminishes). Car demand is slowing down as petrol prices rises and interest rates go up in the world (see Ford closing factories). Not all chineese will be able to afford a car.
On the ohter hand gold is cheap in historical terms. Gold miners are still making little profits because their costs have risen too fast.

I like gold. Gold is the most popular choice for jewelry. And white gold is an affordable - and popular - alternative to platinum. Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is used in jewelry in almost its pure form (approximately 95% pure). Platinum is a good material to choose if you are harder on things, or constantly on the go, because it wears longer. It is a heavier, denser metal, which allows it to be more scratch-resistant than gold. But I still like gold :)

I was always a gold person but over the last year I am liking the fact that platinum is a stronger metal than gold...the higher the carat count on gold the softer it is...so if you have a band that is 24 carat gold when you hit it on the edge of your desk or something it knicks it....

Platinum. Hydrogen running over a platinum plate creates an electrical charge. This is what causes hydrogen fueled generators and motors (like on hydrogen ran cars) to work. That is also why hydrogen ran generators are expensive.

I like the real GOLD nuggets.
As most gold is mined as very fine dust and tiny nuggets, the larger (over 1oz) nuggets are very rare! Actually they are as rare as large diamonds!
I would suggest you look into large nuggets!
To see the 'live' spot NY gold price and some museum size gold nuggets I suggest you visit a great site I found a few months ago. I purchase a few nuggets from them just about a month ago, and not only are they beautiful to look at but in just the last few weeks they have really moved up in value!
I'm actually saving to purchase others!
The site is: http://www.california-gold-rush-miner.us

The most expensive gold is called Crystalline gold. Some great photos of it can be viewed at:

I like platinum more, both as jewellery and as an investment.
