GND.. (Too late to short this index; AND going long could be a rather tedious propsition. So maybe consider running with a stock like this.)

I believe there are specialised products in the states that simulate and track this index. (?) Why anyone would want to is another matter altogether.

I never said it did. If it was a pure shipping company, it would probably have gone bust by now given the level of the BDI.It will move according to the dynamics of its various components but will offer upside when (if?) shipping rates (the "BDI") rise.
