The Complete List of Commodity ETFs and ETNs

Thank you. Nice to see these listed in one place.

Which of the 6 Agriculture ETFs is Best?

Great summary, Matthew. To BrucePile -- ETF vs. ETN simply: an ETF holds "things" such as gold or contracts, an ETN is a promise to pay. So, Bruce, you are right, an ETN is a debt instrument and you do have a credit risk in addition to a commodity risk. One more item to note: There have been recent IRS changes in the tax treament of ETNs, such as Barclay Bank's single currency ETNs. Once you decide where you want to invest, you should look at the tax implications of ETNs. Just my opinion.
