SPDRs are flexible and easy to trade. Investors buy and sell them like shares, typically through a stock broker. Investors can also employ traditional share trading techniques, including stop orders, limit orders and margin purchases (if available).
To purchase a SPDR fund consult your stock broker or financial advisor.
