Commodities have received a lot of attention during the last few years. Much of this comes from the fact that China and India's economies are beginning to take off and they need them to fuel this expansion. Gold, more than the other commodities has gotten lots of attention simply because the US greenback has been in steady decline. As such most folks are worried about the value of their money and need to use gold as protection against inflation. While the average person does not understand the way to trade commodities they can use stocks as a substitute as there are several that mirror their performance.
One of the most well liked gold ETFs uses the ticker symbol GLD. Some of the gold producers include corporations like Agnico Eagle Mines ( AEM ) and Gold Corp. (GG), and Newmont Mining Corporation (NEM) which closely mirror the performance of gold.
