Looking for a vehicle to beat us inflation and get a better return on my USD than cash.

Can anyone recommend a commodity based ETF that I can trade in USD?

Am I wrong in thinking this might be a good way to go ?

I don't want to trade commodoites directly

Thanks.

I should add, I'd like ETF's on a US exchange so I don't have to pay stamp duty.

Thanks.

There are loads of commodity ETF's suggest you diversify through all sectors, they will hedge $ decline pretty well and are likely to appreciate considerably more than that in coming years.

Just to say JDR that there is no Stamp Duty to be payed on UK. ETF. purchases.
