The example I was using was a bit over simplified as I didn't want to get into it very deep. Basically you stay in the Fund and collect the dividends, the end of day price effects you only when you go in or come out. And You can circumvent that with the dia for $24 in commissions if you think it's worth it. Other than that holding the Fund and going in/out short via the dia winds up giving you a few other perks taht are more complicated than I have the talent to explain, also you don't need to use the dia but may want to play the dow dogs in reverse, shorting some of those stocks inside the dow that you think have it jacked up the most, the fund hedges the shorts also margin requirements on the shorts are less than on longs. Jim BTW ( drugs , Banks utilities and Tobacco all have a BUSH win "already priced in" I think there will be a let down in those sectors when the profit taking starts. A Sell on the news thingy is in the making.
