    Money management firm OppenheimerFunds Inc. is shutting down its nearly two-decade-old commodities fund, the firm said, following years of losses and underperformance.

    Oppenheimer plans to liquidate the Commodity Strategy Total Return Fund “on or around” July 15, the firm said last week in a supplement to the fund’s prospectus.

    Obviously, Oppenheimer agreed with my assessment voiced just a week ago in the "What are you buying?" thread:
    " ... I've taken a beating on QRAAX over past couple years. Unloaded most of it last fall on an uptick but continue to cling to a very small stake ... But really, somebody should take that one out to pasture and #*+*#.:)"

    The dastardly deed's been done.
  • Maybe they were just waiting for your validation Hank and you should have spoken (decreed) sooner.
