<<<But what about the effect of these ETFs in gold and oil? The money that goes into them HAS to be put into futures contracts,>>>

Oil ETF is just a bunch of future contracts, but gold ETFs are collections of physical gold bars.

<<<Usually you have longs and shorts engaged in a zero-sum game, but the injection of ever-larger amounts of cash via the ETFs will quickly bankrupt all the shorts and there won't be any additional contracts for sale.>>>

Futures are still zero sum game.
