I have been trading the futures market since the 90's and the high volatility caused by high leverage had its draw backs, but now with ETF's I get the same benefits without the over leveraging.. . I'm curious to find out if anyone else made the change as well?
For example: I use the S&P GSCI Indexes to track the commodities like copper symbol is .SPGSCI... or the pure play, true copper pure play ETF is UBS' iPath Copper fund, trading under the ticker JJC. The fund is designed to mimic the Dow Jones-AIG Copper Total Return Sub-Index through high grade copper futures contracts. JJC trades on the New York Commodities Exchange (COMEX) or The PowerShares DB Base Metals, trading as DBB, is one-third copper. The remaining two-thirds are divided evenly amongst aluminum and zinc.
Just an example... Someone should make a list of comparable futures commodities with the ETF and Indices to track them...
