Does anybody know if there are ETFs (exchange-traded funds) that focus on video game vendors?

Any turkish ETF's existing might be a better question, forget reccomendations.  Anyhow TKF does seem very good, and is the only one I can find.  You can check www.etfconnect.com to look for more.

I believe the only ETF that Barclay's has with exposure to precious metals is linked to GOLD, not SILVER. Check out their website.

You can invest in the etf gld. Each share is backed by some amount of real gold. \nhttp://anyonecaninvest.blogspot.com/

You won't make much money in MM funds, but you won't lose anything.\n\nMoney market instruments are short term, high credit quality investments.  Some are backed by the government (T-Bills are money market instruments).  Others such as banker's acceptances, eurodollar deposits and commercial paper are backed by high quality corporations.\n\nBetween 1972-2000, there were 11 defaults among the 4354 commercial paper issues rated by Moody.  All were caused by a crisis of liquidity, and all investors were eventually paid.

There are lots of online brokers.  I use ameritrade and scottrade.  there are many more including brownco, etrade, sharebuilder.com and more.. MOst of these can be funded electronically.  Scottrade is the cheapest at 7 dollars a trade but I think ameritrade is a lot easier to use and more reliable.

You can't buy stocks that are listed on an exchange without going through a broker.  Those are the rules.  Big brokerage companies don't rip you off anyway so don't worry.\n\nCheck with a US broker - I'm sure some of them must allow you to trade on the TSE from the US.  Alternatively you might consider buying a Canadian ETF (exchange traded fund) - www.fidelity.com sells them.

You can day trade the ticker GLD, which is a gold-based EFT.  There's one other, Ishares Comex Gold or something like that, but I dont' know the ticker.\n\nGood luck, I hope you don't lose your money.  Commodities are notoriously unpredictable.

Those are good and so is Businessweek and CNN's.  The MarketWatch Virtual Stock Exchange game site has some very good research tools.\n\nThen the exchanges have some resources for you as well.

Another consideration is that ETF's can be bought/sold like stocks. There is no "holding period" as required by many mutual funds that you purchase through a brokerage account or direct from the mutual fund company. So if the ETF sector is heading down (eg. real estate VNQ), you can get out by simply selling your shares.
