Claymore S&P Global Water Index ETF

This is available through a broker for a commission rate of .75%. Is this a reasonable rate and what other fees/charges are normally associated with ETF's? How does taxation work with ETF's? Any opinions on the fund? Finally, can anyone recommend an ETF for LED technology? Thanks in advance.

Personally, I think 0.75% is too high in terms of cost. Even buying 2000 shares of this fund is going to cost you a few hundred dollars at that commission rate (given the etf is trading around $18). I trade ETFs like this for 0.10% with renaissance financial (rfm.ie).. but i am sure there are plenty others too for trading..maybe ig markets, etrade etc ..Shop around and use the money you save to go on a holiday
