One concern I would have with COW is whether it is actually replicating the performance of its target index. I can't find a chart of the index, which is the livestock sub-index of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity index. Some of these commodity ETFs that are trying to match the performance of futures contracts have been failing badly. They are plagued with high expenses and I have heard that other traders take advantage of them when they have to roll over their contracts on a scheduled basis.
