Hi,

I know the main financial index ETFs, but can someone point to a list (which is pref kept up to date) of commodity ETF, both baskets and individual.

Also are there ETFs for the FTSE, DOW etc as well as more exotic where I can short?

I would prefer to use a regular broker and ETFs for the shorting rather than CFDs/SBs. Is this possible?

Thanks
 
DIA I think is the most liquid Dow ETF
GLD is probably the most liquid Gold ETF
SLV Silver ETF
USO Oil ETF
 
are there "inverse" ETFs which allow you to short sell?

otherwise how does one do it?

thanks!

For all intents and purposes ETF's work like ordinary company stocks and can be shorted just like ordinary company stock.
Although as you mention it there was a family of ETF launched recently which have an 'inverse' component , I think they belong to the Proshares family. give me a little while to look up their site and I'll post you a link.
 
Thats great. Many thanks. Does anyone know if short ETFs exist for UK indicies and sectors?

TIA
