Re: Newb to investing qustions needing answers

The tax issue you mention is specific to the US. I don't know how relevant it is to the OP (not at all relevant to me).

There are other funding issues to consider. ETFs pay a dividend whereas if you were planning long term investments with futures you'd need a lot of money in your brokerage account (probably not receiving any interest) to cover the large drawdowns that you'd probably suffer.
