The Roller Coaster That Is Commodities with ETFs

September 28, 2007 at 8:30 am by Tom Lydon

Toon_bookLet’s talk about exchange traded funds (ETFs) for the complex area of commodities for a moment. Are you invested in them? Which commodities have you focused on? Do you have reservations about investing in commodities at all? After all, they are not for the faint of heart.

What questions do you have about commodities?

If there’s something you’d like to know, or if you’ve got a good story or two about your own experiences with commodities that we could include in the book, we’d love to hear them. Surely you know what to do by now — drop us an e-mail or leave a comment!

    Do you know of any etfs that trade in Canadian dollars, that is can be bought and sold with canadian funds?

    There are a number of Canadian ETFs that trade on several Canadian exchanges, including Montreal and Toronto.

    Check with your broker to see if these are available to you if you’re a U.S. investor.
