Since September 2006, numerous ETFs have been available on the London Stock Exchange [1]. ETCs invest in real commodities (via future contracts or storing gold bars, for example) and not in commodity producing companies, such as mining companies, though of course, mining-company ETFs also exist.
The stated purpose of silver and gold ETFs are to track the price of gold and silver. They are NOT redeemable for the underlying instrument and unless rigid audit methods are put in place (and with the exception of ETFS Physical Silver that publishes on newsbite and audits all bars, there is some debate about the silver ETFs holdings as they do not provide audits) it is possible that there are not physical, serialized bullion physically backing the shares. They are also subject to increased volatility and they only represent a promise. If somebody defaults on that promise, the investor may not have anything to show for it thereby meaning they might have lost all of their investment. These concerns have done little to slow the popularity of precious metal ETFs. ETFS Physical Silver (PHAG LN) is backed by allocated metals and publishes all bar numbers with Platinum, Gold, Palladium as well.

[edit] Leveraged & Short ETFs
Typically ETFs track an index. Using a combination of options, futures, and swaps some firms have designed ETFs capable of tracking approximately -1x, 2x, and -2x the daily returns of an index. In the near future it is likely that ETFs with even higher leverage will emerge. These funds are structured in a sophisticated way and there is significant doubt as to whether or not these funds are appropriate vehicles for the casual investor.[3] (Note that obtaining 2x the daily returns for one year does not imply that one will receive double the annual returns of an index).
[edit] Short ETFs
Short ETFs enable investors to profit from declines in an underlying index without directly selling short any securities. Investors who think an index will decline purchase shares of the short ETF that tracks the index, and the shares increase or decrease in value inversely with the index, that is to say that if the value of the underlying index goes down, then the value of the short ETF shares goes up, and vice versa. Some popular short ETFs include:
ProShares
- ProShares Short Dow 30 - AMEX: DOG
- ProShares Short S&P 500 - AMEX: SH
- ProShares Short S&P MidCap 400 - AMEX: MYY
