This blog is primarily about Protected Stocks, which are a unique and obscure class of stocks trading in the backwaters of Wall Street. They track stock indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Like a bond, a Protected Stock has a maturity date. At the maturity date you'll be paid a guaranteed amount even if the stock index that it's tracking plummets in value. And if the stock index increases, your investment will also increase. Wall Street calls them "index linked notes" or "structured products".
