Is there a fund that is specific to canadian oil sands and that has a proven track record that you know of? Here's one that trades on the Toronto exchange: finance.yahoo.com If you want one that trades on the NYSE but is a bit more diversified with some non energy Canadian companies as well, there's: finance.yahoo.com Here's a post on the SI oil sands board that lists some of their respective holdings: Message 22182634 I have a position in EWC, as well as SU, PCZ, ECA and CNQ (all traded on US exchanges and all a sea of green today) :-) BTW, here's a blurb from a Business Week article on EWC: ETFs can also be used to play the boom in commodity prices.
