Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

Stull, Stull & Brody Files Class Action Lawsuit On Behalf of Investors in ProShares Ultra Oil & Gas Fund

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:08:00 GMT

The law firm of Stull, Stull & Brody announces that it has filed a class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired shares in the ProShares Ultra Oil & Gas Fund (the "DIG Fund") (NYSE: DIG), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") offered by ProShares Trust ("ProShares"), pursuant or traceable to ProShares' false and misleading Registration Statement, Prospectuses, and Statements of Additional Information (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with shares of the DIG Fund (the "Class").
In addition to the claims concerning ProShares DIG Fund, Stull, Stull & Brody is also investigating claims on behalf of investors in other ProShares leveraged funds (the "Funds") (see list below), such as whether ProShares failed to disclose in its registration statements: (i) that if shares of the Funds were held for a time period longer than one day, the likelihood of massive losses was huge; and (ii) the extent to which performance of the Funds would invariably diverge from the performance of the benchmark.
