350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

[jayhawker]

As of 3pm EST EFA is only up $.11

With a bank holiday in London, it seems that TspLookup might have a bug in this situation. I hope I'm wrong, but maybe a good looking over of the code/output is in order.

cheers,

EAFE Final = +.707

InvertedNyBot:

TSPLookup does not track or estimate the EFA. (You can do that yourself.) It estimates the MSCI EAFE. Don't confuse the two as they are two different indexes. Ed.

 

[FundSurfer]

EAFE Final = +.707

That's .707% correct?

 

[jayhawker]

Yep!

 

[Aviator_Guy]

A .707 % gain sure would be a nice bump up in the “I” fund if it plays out today. The UK market is not open today. Since the UK makes up a good chunk (24%) of the “I” fund, I wonder how they figure the “I” fund adjustment. And likewise when the Nikkei was down for most of last week, how did they figure it up? If you purchased 24 % of your portfolio when the UK market was open, do they just sit on any gain or loss on that amount until they open again? Curious minds want to know.

 

[jayhawker]

UK and Ireland were closed. It's the same as if those two markets had no gain or loss for the day. The only effect on the EAFE / I Fund would be any movement in their respective currencies (British Pound and Euro) versus the US$.

.707 = .$$ ?

 

[jayhawker]

.707 = .$$ ?

Should be 17 cents.

Sorry! I was rushing today. Monday's tend to be busy for me!

.18 Close enough!

 

[jayhawker]

.18 Close enough!

They sure are being generous lately! An extra two cents on Friday and another cent today.

I think the buying opp. is for Thursday not tomorrow. The markets will be on FED watch until 215 tomorrow. Then if comments are neutral, rally in the USMs, OSMs the following day.

Scarey.


Just remember-- What goes up, can, and does, come down.

The trend is your friend.... But watch for falling rocks.

I also copied here a message you posted yesterday. Are you considering puting something in the the USM effective cob today? and then shifting some to the I fund at cob omorrow? I think Paladin suggested doing something close to this? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Re: 12%ayear's Account Talk
Remember you have to decide for 2 days not one. Wednesday and Thursday. FED meets 215pm, our deadline is 1200.

Whats the bad news so far? anyone got an estimate?

 

[T2034]

This is really going to hurt, look at the jump in the US dollar.

 

[sugarandspice]

Since the Fed's statement always comes out after the OSM's have closed,then any market friendly news from the Fed may spark a rally big enough to trigger a + FV and more than likely a rally in the OSM's Wed night/Thurs morn. I am definitely looking at playing it. What's the expected news/impact from the Fed?

 

[jayhawker]

Early estimate: -1.072 or -26 cents.

Wednesday, you have the FED 2:15pm. The FED will stay in check, but the future is the key. So, My thinking is 100% S Fund for Wednesday and 100% I Fund for Thursday if all goes well. Will let you know. I strongly believe you will see some profit-taking tomorrow.
