Jane Quinn on investing in commodities

It's not clear exactly why this Bloomberg article about investing in commodities struck me as being so odd (well, aside from the fact that you'd never hear this sort of thing from Caroline Baum), but Jane Bryant Quinn's mostly positive slant on this sector was, well, refreshing.
About half way through, Ms. Quinn asks, "If you buy, do you want an ETF or an ETN?"

Most financial journalists still poo-poo the whole idea of having some crude oil futures or gold bars counted as part of your investment portfolio - it's nice to see this is changing.
