I've written before that I want to switch my roth IRA account from oppenhiemer to a discount brokerage, and I planned on doing it towards the end of this month. I got a letter in the mail yesterday further reinforcing that decision.
It was the oppenhiemer funds account statement. Since my last statement, I have lost close to 15% of value in the fund. This isn't to be unexpected, the markets have had a rough few months. The kick in the teeth comes in the fees that I have been charged for the privilege of losing money. At least with scottrade or something like that, I get charged once when I pruchase, and once a long way in the future when I sell. Anyway, I hope to get the paperwork rolling on this after my big dividend check comes in on the 16th.
