Here they are, ranked by liquidity. Pls advise if I have missed any good ones (* = has options):
GLD - Gold *(tracks gold)
*DBA - powershares AG (corn, wheat, soybeans, sugar)
*USO - US Oil fund (tracks light sweet crude oil)
SLV - Silver (tracks silver)
RJA - agricultural total return
less liquid but good to watch:
*DBC - net commodity index
UNG - nat gas
*GSG - net commodity index
RJI - net comm index
RJZ - metals total return
RJN - energy total return
XLB, XME, OIH, XLE, XLB also avail but I looking for instruments which mimic the commodities rather than an basket of stocks
So an equal portfolio of GLD (16.6% ytd) , SLV (33.8% ytd), DBA (26% ytd) , and USO (6.2% ytd) would yield 20.7% ytd.
