Gold is extremely valuable because its the best metal for a lot of things, and its rare.
Silver is almost as good and less rare, hence the price.
Platinum and palladium are close to gold in physical/electrical/chemical properties, and supply/demand dictates price.
Palladium has doubled in price over the past 5years.

Besides, for the price, you could have both. A few lb of gold is $100k
