While I suppose this is an easy way to play a lot high beta stocks in 1 instrument, I assume its really going to act almost as a levered play on the NASDAQ. When "risk is on" it will outperform, and when "risk is off" underperform.
Now if they could ever come up with a product that gets me access to IPOs of the 'hot stocks' before they come public... call me.
