Why Isn't There an ETF for Diamonds?
By Tom Lydon
ETF TRENDS
February 17, 2012
Exchange traded funds allow the average retail
investor to gain direct exposure to price movements in commodities, such as agricultural
products, industrial metals and precious metals. However, ETF investors are still
unable to invest in precious gems, at least for now. Unlike most commodities, there
is no futures market for diamonds. shape="rect" linktype="1" target="_blank">>>>

Transitions of power are always a challenge.
And the stakes are raised for entities with strong track records. Sterling, parent
of Kay and Jared, has proven itself across recent market cycles to be among the
very best-run chain jewelers in the business. Under the deft leadership of Terry
Burman, the company forged a reputation for maximizing its potential market advantages.

uring the turbulent years of 1930 to 1950, the United States underwent an almost
unbelievable transformation.The country went from an isolationist nation crippled
by the Great Depression, to a hyper-productive industrialized war machine, and,
finally, to one of the world's only two superpowers with influence-both good and
bad-in every country on the globe. linktype="1" target="_blank">>>>

How's your website working for you? Have you updated it within the last four years?
If not, you may be behind the times. It's important for small businesses to
have an effective interactive online presence, without it you could drive customers
away from you, rather than towards you. shape="rect" linktype="1" target="_blank">>>>

Since ancient times, humans have coveted the classic gemstones because they exhibit
a beauty unique to the mineral world. It is this beauty, combined with the perception
of rarity as well as durability, that motivates people to seek out-and spend significant
amounts of money on-the earth's most precious resources. linktype="1" target="_blank">>>>
