Pursuant to its authority under Section 12(k)(2)(C) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’), the Commission is extending the Emergency Order. Section 12(k)(2)(C) authorizes the Commission to extend an emergency order issued pursuant to Section 12(k)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act for a total effective period of up to 30 calendar days, if the Commission finds that the emergency still exists and determines that an extension is necessary in the public interest and for the protection of investors to maintain fair and orderly securities markets.

We note that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in authorizing the creation of the temporary Primary Dealer Credit Facility (‘‘PDCF’’), was required to determine that ‘‘unusual and exigent circumstances’’ exist and that the PDCF remains available to the financial firms identified in Appendix A. The Commission continues to remain concerned about the ongoing threat of market disruption and effects on investor confidence, and has determined in this environment that the standards under Section 12(k)(2) for extending the Emergency Order have been met. Accordingly, the Commission has determined that extending the Emergency Order is in the public interest and necessary to maintain fair and orderly securities markets and for the protection of investors. Following expiration of the Emergency Order, the Commission will proceed immediately to consideration of rulemaking, which would become effective after notice and comment. Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k)(2)(C) of the Exchange Act, that the Emergency Order is extended such that it will terminate at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, August 12, 2008. 1 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58166 (July 15, 2008). 2 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58190 (July 18, 2008).

July 31, 2008.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that the 
public interest and the protection of investors require a suspension of 
trading in the securities of Global Diamond Exchange, Inc. (``Global 
Diamond'') because there is a lack of current and accurate information 
concerning its securities. Questions have arisen concerning the 
company's current business operations, control of the company, and the 
company's reliance on Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 
1933 in conducting a distribution of its securities. Global Diamond, a 
company that has made no public filings with the Commission, is quoted 
on the Pink Sheets under the ticker symbol GBDX.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the 
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the above-listed 
company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, July 31, 2008, 
through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on August 13, 2008.

    By the Commission.
