ProShares UltraPro 3x Crude Oil ETF (OILU)

Re: ProShares UltraPro 3x Crude Oil ETF (OILU)

Looks like they acted too soon in closing the fund. We could have done well last week.

True that BUT they did not want it to go to ZERO.

I have a new plan. I was going to buy NRGU at $2.00 $1.75 and $1.50 ( approximately down to $10 - $15 crude ), but our pres started talking and CRUDE ran up to $29ish. Plan foiled! I sold NRGU for a small profit.

I am now going to buy an inverse ETF ETN and ride it down to CRUDE $15.00ish. Then flip back to NRGO for the eventual ride back to $30 CRUDE.

Timeline: Sometime in June 2020.

I try to update these things as quickly as I can on the discussion board.

[buxmaker]

Thanks. I didn't see notice that they were closing, otherwise I would have sold.

[JohnCM]

The fund is liquidated and every share holder receives their percentage of the total balance remaining.

As an ETF loses assets, the fund will lose investors, increasing the cost of operating per investor. ... In the event a firm shuts down an ETF, investors have one of two choices: sell your position before the final trading date, or wait for the fund to close and the check to come in.

[buxmaker]

They closed the fund? Does that mean we end up with nothing?

[JohnCM]

No guesses. OK.

[NotRichYet2]

We all can speculate where the price of oil is going. GOOD bet it is still going to drop BUT that does not mean it will for sure. I, like others can easily just WAIT and see before JUMPING IN

[JohnCM]

What say you?

I am going with $17.00 within 2 weeks.

[NotRichYet2]

You and a few million other people

[JohnCM]

I am trying to get a feel for the bottom.

[RJ Trotts]

Thanks for the info. Enjoy your weekend.

Do you think there are any crazies out there who are thinking of catching CRUDE near the low ( 20, 15, 10? ) and riding the next move higher?

Nice day today. Bullish finish. Hope to see it continue tomorrow.

[RJ Trotts]

Thanks for the info, best to you!

[Noomer]

Stay away from all ProShares ETFs! They are going bankrupt

[RJ Trotts]

Agree with you. No reason for it to trade this way. Unreal.

[zen222]

Dumbest 3x ETF ever. Out at .39

[RJ Trotts]

Wondering the same thing, I want to add some shares, but I want it to reflect the oil price.

[Noomer]

Why OILU down when WTI up?????

[Noomer]

I understand they are closing this ETF but should they not still attempt 3X gains or losses. IT seems only losses last few days despite oil being green. And losses are massive. This is completely crooked in their (ProShares) favor. They should be investigated

[zen222]

No idea, I pulled the trigger and just bought though.

[Noomer]

I been trading ETFs for many months. Can someone explain why OILU is down 22% when oil is only down 1%?

Finally an day. Nice to see. Best to all here.

[JohnCM]

That is good advice. Trade quickly. JUNG paid off in a couple days. CRUDE is tricky, but I just initiated USLV.

I have never studies put, calls, options.

[pay streak]

Yup 100%, do you think he will do that? Was going to buy here but glad I stayed away

[dude iligence]

To stabilize the price of oil, prevent us energy companies bankruptcies and maintain US energy independence all president trump needs to do is place a tariff equivalent to $55 per barrel on all OPEC oil. To make it simple any imported oil.

[Rob~daBanca]

I am gonna stay away from these ETF's. So easy to get burned and there is so many other ways to make money in a bear market.
Options have been pricey but lucrative.

[molee]

I didn't know at the time that it was closing . That's why I asked .

Thanks >> M

[Rob~daBanca]

Updated fund prospectus sent to me from my broker.
It was sent directly to any shareholder

[JohnCM]

From what I see that would leave only one ETF ETN leverage 3X BULL fund
UWT VelocityShares ETN

[JohnCM]

How did you find out??

They are closing this fund in 10 days.

[Rob~daBanca]

Why would you buy this. Its going to stop trading.
It will dive to .50 or lower in the next few days

https://www.etf.com/OILU

"The fund is closing. The last day of trading is March 27, 2020." Like most geared products, OILU is intended as a trading tool, not a buy-and-hold investment. The fund provides 3x exposure to its index for a one-day period. The daily reset function means investors holding OILU for longer periods are exposed to the effects of compounding, and could see returns that vary greatly from 3x exposure. OILU’s Bloomberg index tracks WTI crude contracts that are rolled every other month, striking a balance between spot-price sensitivity, turnover, and contango effects.As a commodity pool, OILU will issue a K-1 form at tax time. Taxable investors will pay a blended rate (60% LT/40% ST) on capital gains, realized or not. OILU provides the same exposure as sibling WTIU, which is organized as an ETN. OILD is OILU’s 3x-inverse counterpart.

[molee]

Do you happen to have a link for that info ?

Just tried to buy w / Fidelity . NO GO .

[Rob~daBanca]

$OILU. They are closing this fund in 10 days. What a joke. Worse then a penny stock.
Should be unlawfawful

[JohnCM]

I am a crude BULL with barrels under $30.00

[fumoney7]

ETF redemption = crazy bullish gains?

[fumoney7]

I took some. I made a list earlier this month about falling oil tickers. I didn't realize I bought 3x ETF. So I'm reading a bit about it and saw this:

https://www.proshares.com/3xetfs/

ProShares UltraPro and UltraPro Short ETFs offer 3x and -3x exposure to major market indexes.

Ok. So I presume the index to follow is $OIL?
And if I understand correctly, if $OIL goes up 10% this will automatically go up 30%?

Thanks.


And I see there are options for a 3x ETF? This sounds like it could be very explosive if all goes well? (not doing options, yet)

[JohnCM]

WOW!!

Futures +833

[surfgreen]

Holy mackerel - down 75%

[JohnCM]

LOW $2.50 Currently $3.00

[dude iligence]

Crude $27.74 down 32.9% OIlU could go to $0 tomorrow POOF! done!

[JohnCM]

IN PLAY!!

US will sanction any country that buys oil from Iran, no exemptions – special envoy

US will sanction any country that buys oil from Iran, no exemptions – special envoy

The United States will put sanctions on any country that imports Iranian oil, and no exemptions are currently in place, US special envoy for Iran Brian Hook told reporters in London.

The Trump administration’s hard-line economic policy against the Islamic Republic continues in response to Tehran downing a US drone last week. After Trump announced new sanctions directly targeting the Iranian leadership on Monday, the US now says they will enforce penalties on those who violate previous restrictions as well...
