"DIAMONDS": A TRADER'S BEST FRIEND

Have you heard about the newest investment vehicle: DIAMONDS (DIA)? This vehicle allows you to buy, sell, and sell short all 30 Dow Stocks in one simple transaction. Now you can have the same power as professional program traders. You buy or sell the entire Dow Industrial's Index just like one stock … and you can sell it short just as easily when you expect the market to plunge.

As you know, mutual funds are priced only once a day … you can only buy them at the close. So if I see a big move starting the next day, a mutual fund "buy" signal would miss the next day's move.

But now we can buy or sell the entire Dow Jones Industrials Index of 30 stocks, at any time during market hours, just like a stock. It's called the "Diamonds" … they trade on the AMEX, (symbol "DIA").

With one "buy" or "sell" order to your broker, transact the entire basket of 30 stocks, just like the pros have been doing for years.

And when I expect expect the market to drop, I can sell short, anytime during the day … and I don't have to wait for an uptick!!

Now Diamonds are no longer just a girl's best friend, they can be yours as well.

See how Diamonds mirror the S&P:
