I am only basically drilling down as far as Agriculture in general but might be tempted by a grain ETF as they are hottest right now

Ok - I should qualify my conclusions further and say that as someone following a long-term investment strategy it's the 10yr+ data that's of interest to me.

If you're after the 'hot' sector then then my findings might not be appropriate for your strategy. However your other thread was entitled 'Over the next 10 years what do you think will do best, equities or commodities' implying a long-term strategy.

Just noticed that for some reason the Forward ETFS now look to have less performance than normal ETFS. Very odd.
