UBS Halts Inverse And Leveraged ETF Trading (FAZ, FAS)

Here we go again, UBS (UBS) joins other firms and is halting some select ETFs?

“Bearish bets made impossible, compliments of UBS. Either that, or UBS’ recently upgraded (with i7 chips of course) computers just can’t handle the basis calculations. Either way, is something very fried with ETFs going on behind the scenes?” reports ZeroHedge.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Inverse, Leveraged and Inverse-Leveraged Exchange Traded Funds are no longer available for new or additional purchases at UBS

Effective July 27, 2009, UBS is suspending the offering of Inverse, Leveraged and Inverse-Leveraged Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). You will no longer be able to make new or additional purchases and will only be able to liquidate current positions through UBS at this time. Any attempt to execute a trade of such ETFs will be rejected.
