You can invest by buying the major company shares or by trading in the futures market. However Questor believes the best way to invest right now is via an exchanged-traded commodity (ETC). An ETC is an investment vehicle that tracks the performance of an underlying commodity or basket of commodities.

The advantage of these funds is that they can be bought and sold on the London Stock Exchange in exactly the same way as you would buy a company share. Just give your broker a call.
