Beyond SLV and GLD....

Beyond SLV and GLD what other ETF's do you hold/watch along the lines of investments backed by metals rather than companies? Are there are ETF's geared for a broader market, i.e. one that holds holds gold, silver, platinum, copper...etc.

I was just trying to broaden my horizons and do not want to look at ETF's or funds that hold the mining companies, no interest in them just the best exposure to the metals.

Just curious for thoughts

There are lots of "exotic" ETFs, but most are traded on European exchanges.

If you have an etrade account, you can trade most places.

In the US, I trade MOO, DIG and DUG, in the non-metal ETFs.

Also, USO and UNG.

There are tons:

DBC - Broad commodity index
DBA - Agriculture
DBB - Base Metals
DBE - Energy
DBP - Precious metals
DBS - Silver
DGL - Gold
PHO - Water resources
UNG - Natrual Gas
DBO - Oil
RJA - Rodgers International Commodities index

But be aware that most of these ETFS hold a combination of futures and commodities contracts, not actual physical product. There are several other ones... and all of the "DB*" ones are run by Deutche bank, which is in serious trouble right now.

There is CEF that holds a mixture of physical silver and gold.
