I mentioned yesterday that the dollar was showing strengthening and I was soundly refuted. I bought the I fund for insurance to protect my C fund and I'm in initially at $21.65 so I can absorb any retreat before the next rebound. It's all in the planning and sacrifice one is willing to make to stay relevant, ain't that right Sugar?

Japan was up nicely overnight, but that dollar thingy is slamming everything.

Who'd a thunk that our dollar would get stronger?

Maybe it is time to take a pause in the "I" fund. It's had one heck of a bull run lately.....

the I Fund losses are not bad at all today.
 
I figure that there is less risk for me by going 100% C fund, because the C fund usually drops less than most other funds and I want to be in stocks. I was planning to exit to G today, but I saw Ebbtracker staying in I, and 12% going to S. Also think that Birchtree is mostly in C. So, I don't want to deal with the currency issue with what seems to be a rising dollar. Moreover, Bloomberg TV insists that Institutional buying is still happening. Since it is the end-of-month, Just maybe the markets will stay up at least until tomorrow (the 27th). Depending on what happens tomorrow I'll decide what to do. Best wishes to all!
 
It feels like I funders got cheated on this rally. But right now, the VIX is telling me to get out. I'm going to the F fund because it's losing today and I'm betting on GDP being low. Besides, it owes me money.:D
 
Looking at the charts the EAFE is not nearly as extended as S and C. It actually looks healthy. I was planning on getting out today, but after the action today I think I'll stay in. GDP tomorrow though. ???

I was blown away by the very low “I” fund estimates, but it’s a risk I was willing to take. Everyone in this forum does a great job and I appreciate it! Thanks and have a great day in TSP land! :cool:
 
The consensus for GDP is 1.8%, but I've seen credible guestimates up to as high as 2.7%. IMHO anything over 2.5% and the market will continue to rock.
 
With the nice bounce in the USD/YEN, the Nikkei might continue rallying but if GDP comes in above est., the dollar will skyrocket.

I'm hoping for a +FV today.

Barclays owes us from yesterday with a postive FV. We need to poke them.

I wonder if the dollar bounce today is preplanning for the GDP. I heard the estimate was for 1.8% but consensus was as high as 2.7%? Maybe it'll sell off tomorrow if its inline with consensus or lower, plus it was such a huge bounce today. Japan has its interest rate decision tonight, thats why the yen was so strong today, I think.
