Nope. Youβre wrong. The company made an announcement to cancel this ETN: β WTIU is an exchange traded note (βETNβ) which seeks to track three-times the daily performance of the Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil Subindex ER. However, as of March 24, 2020, UBS announced that it would suspend further sales of the WTIU and that outstanding shares would be redeemed by UBS on April 9, 2020. UBS has already had three other ETNs undergo mandatory redemptions: HOML, MLPZ, and SMHD, with the announcement of seven additional mandatory redemptions less than one week later: BDCL, HDLV, LBDC, LMLP, MORL, MRRL, and DVHL. These funds all employed leverage and were invested in risky sectors. Investors may seek damages for violations of sales practice rules and regulations, as set forth by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in arbitration. However, if you invest with E-Trade, TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, or Interactive Brokers or made self-directed trades, this investigation does not apply to you..β

I would have grabbed some early this morning had my account been funded with Ally bank. It might be funded tomorrow or the next day.
Is NOW a good time to buy? For a short term trade ONLY in my opinion. NO LONG TERM HOLD! I would like shares at $2.00 or less, and would probably set on them until congress can pass their spending bill. I'm assuming that will send the popular indexes higher for a few days, and crude should get a bounce with it.
I could see UCO jumping up then to over $2.50 a share.
BUT ... I would watch events in oil closely. What Trumper can do with the Saudi boys is going to be CRUCIAL, I believe. If he isn't able to change their mind about mass dumping on the open market, then come April a barrel of oil can head to $12 -15 very quickly, and UCO can push $1.00 a share price.
My advice: Don't SLEEP long if you have profits in oil investment/s. Too many unpredictable things going on right now.

Roughly 15 years ago and going back further into history, every time the major markets had a huge selloff, oil consistently climbed. It was seen as a "Safe haven" place to park one's profits, which made it rise it value.
Gold ran a close second to oil, and sometimes even better than oil in upwards momentum.
NOW ... gold is no longer a safe-haven component, and it seems that oil has decoupled from market selloffs and now does what it does all on its own, which makes it a bit more challenging IMO.
Right now it "appears" oil is falling with the big drop in the market. Notice I say "appears". One has NOTHING to do with the other IMO. Oil is dropping simply because HUGE shorts wanted it to drop.
And no matter WHAT the major indexes will do once they reach their bottoms, oil is going to rise primarily again because shorts cover their trades and put their profits into LONG bets.
Though I can't prove it, I believe nations and huge corporations are playing with the oil "Yo-yo." EASY way for them to make guaranteed profits when you're with the oil "in crowd" who truly controls the price of oil.
