Do I want to invest in commodities?

I want to invest in an index/etf tracking emerging markets and another for commodities, so..?

• which ones are the biggest and track the emerging markets and commodities best, and what is their symbol? thanks

• Answer:

  For commodities I personally own USO which tracks oil, and SLV which tracks silver. You might consider DBC which tracks a basket of 8 different commodities (oil, nat gas, heating oil, silver, aluminum, gold, wheat and corn). FXI is an etf that tracks Chinese stocks.
