ProShares Short-Term Capital Gains Distributions

Owners of ProShares ETFs got a rude awakening this morning when short-term capital gains went ex for their ETFs.  And they were huge!  Usually funds give investors a little time to make a decision if they want to sell the fund before the ex-date, but ProShares announced the gains yesterday after the close.  This didn't allow owners to do anything but be forced to pay the short-term capital gains tax on their shares.  There's definitely a few traders out there who bought these as a short-term play in a taxable account in recent days that are now stuck paying big capital gains taxes on them.  Next time ProShares may want to give investors more time between the declaration and the ex-date.

I really lucked out on this one. I have some shares of SDS in my taxable account. and i had been thinking of selling those and buying the same number in my IRA. I happened to do that yesterday.

so for once i caught a lucky break on my timing.

and i am keeping all of my short ETFs in my IRA from here on out.

Why can't they sell the ETF in the market and book a loos on their position which will naturally offset the capital gains by equal amount? And you are back to square one!!

Hi,

Once again after crash Nifty has started going up. Now we suggest all rises should be used as an opportunity to exit old long positions.
This bull run will continue for few more days. Overall market is in bearish mood as in medium term its just a small rally due to short covering
and result season.

Happy Trading,

ShareGyan

Now result season is going on and results are not that positive in broader terms. More or less results are mix for Indian companies. Still Indian stock market requires one triggering point which can give clear trend in the market.

Still Nifty is in mix zone. Nifty will be bullish only if Nifty manages to trade and sustain above 3150-3200 level below these levels bears will rule the dalaal street.
Few Stocks to stay away from for short term
1. DLF
2. Satyam comp
3. Bharti Airtel
4. Tata steel
5. Rcom

Hi,

Stock market India is volatile and all those who speculate in market are loosing everyday. Please remember stock market is not for speculation purpose. If one feel investing in stock market is gamble then its better to think again.

One should always note that if they want to invest money they should do proper research be it fundamental research or technical research. Just think how come you can invest
your money without any convincing reason for the same?

Indian stock market is one of the most happening and emerging market. Major Indian stock exchanges are BSE and NSE and both are of world class standards.

So grab good stocks and invest that’s the bottom line.

We hope to see you in major profits.

Hi, i am from trading tips .Wealth in its most primal form comes from under the ground. Plants come from under the ground. Minerals come from under the ground. Water comes from under the ground. Even petrol comes from under the ground. Little wonder then that Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, is called Patala-nivasini, she who resides in the subterranean realm. She is also addressed as Pulomi, the daughter of the Asura-king, Puloman and Bhargavi, daughter of Bhrigus, another name for Shukra, who served as guru to the Asuras. But Asuras are demons who have been shoved under the ground by the gods! What make Lakshmi the daughter of demons? Is this an ancient moral judgment against wealth?
