350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

[ebbnflow]

G 11.91 even
F 11.38 +.01 (+0.09%)
C 16.61 -.23 (-1.37%)
S 20.19 -.30 (-1.46%)
I 24.04 -.41 (-1.68%)

That's all folks! That was no ordinary wave. It was a humongous tsunami! We got a -FV of .19 cents.

 

[ebbnflow]

Those who bailed out would have to eat that up (FV), but with the PPI and CPI numbers tomorrow, we'll know soon enough if it was the right decision.

 

[Gilligan]

To move into the I fund or stay in the I fund for tomorrow is suicide, IMO.

Good call yesterday CommTech.

We already ate that -FV today. Those bastards at Barclay tucked us good tonight!!! For me... 1.68 loss -.58 -.08= (1.02%) for the week...

 

[airlift]

I can really say I'm sorry to have taken such a big hit today. However, I am not repentant because I am aware this is a system which has a longer term horizon. We shall see!

 

[Fivetears]

Boy... that sure was fun today. :blink: All we need now is for Alan Greenspank to toss in his two cents. I sure would like to know what kinda software Thunder5 is running. That return is just inhuman. :laugh:

 

[350zCommTech]

They did do what they want. I fund down .41 today.

I 24.04 -.41 (-1.68%)

That's all folks! That was no ordinary wave. It was a humongous tsunami! We got a -FV of .19 cents.

They sure did. The change in the markets was not even .50%. The dollar only accounted for -1 cent. If anything, they should have done 9-10 cents. But -19 cents? That's a tad aggressive.

 

[350zCommTech]

Good call yesterday CommTech.

Thanks Gilligan, but I sure wish I had followed my own advice. If I had known that retail sales were going to be reported today, I would have definitely gone to the G/F fund.

The smart choice would be to take profit today, but the gambler in me thinks we might see more upside tomorrow in the C fund.

 

[charmed855]

Good call yesterday CommTech.

No kidding. That was the last thing I read and it caused me to switch to 100F. I think I owe CommTech a comission on that one. Unfortunately my account won't reflect the save because I posted 5 minutes late and it was deleted.

 

[Robo5555]

this mean we start with a 19 cent deficit tomorow??

 

[wht00ss]

nope, that's a .19 surplus

 

[Robo5555]

Thanks!

 

[Robo5555]

Looks like Japan its taking a beating

 

[350zCommTech]

Shanghai down only 1% after being 2% at the open. Also, the Yen appears to have found resistance and is now moving down. If the Yen continues to fall, a rally will be coming soon. But the key might be tomorrow's government report on retail sales. If they are anything like todays' report, the Yen will rise and there will be more selling.

I hope the sell-off continues tomorrow so I can get back in.

Could they possibly being looking at OSM tonight. So they don't bite it in the #$$. TSP has got to try and keep the loses down from our trading deadline.

Yes, I'm sure that was what they were looking at. I just can't mathematically figure out how they came up with 19.

Folks,

As much as it bites to get caught on the wrong side, you have to keep in mind that days like this rarely turn around the next day. Playing the odds, the smart move was to bail. The FV in the I fund was an absolute contrived disaster, no model in the world could justify adding an additional .8% on to that price drop. So now we have to sit back and wait for vindication. Patience is the watchword of the hour...we are not wrong.....in the words of Bill and Ted "strange things are afoot at the circle K".

That is part of doing business. Always try to pick the best move. We will see what the I Fund brings today. Leave the emotions at the door please when trading. I lost and made a ton of money throughout the years. Emotions are the worst thing to have. Going for the Reststop Monday,I think that Goldman's comments will hit China next week.It seems to always take a few days for comments like that to sink it. Here comes the seasonal MAY along with a toppy market.

Griffin,
I congratulate you for your insight . Playing the odds was the right move. Now I am trying to follow the ebbtracker system, because I believe that its system will make a recovery if it is followed. Wishful thinking? Perhaps. But the ebbtracker has a very good track record.

Another issue. I also believe as some of you here, that there is unreasonable tampering by Barclays in handling the FV issue. This is my conviction, based on the lack of mathematical justification to its application. It seems to have been contrived. If this is so, Barclays would be acting as a bully with us. I cannot understand that Barclays would lose so much money overall with our trading successes, to justify their pleasure by preventing us from making good gains. But, again, I could be wrong, because strange minds could be at work! To me it only seems like Barclays is acting like a bully by concentrating in a relative small group of TSPers who are trying to increase their egg nest legally, when the reality is that Barclays is a global company or consortium that could be making an investment "killing" in Asia or elsewhere.

Maybe they were trying to make the I fund loss about the same as EAFE, which was down 1.98% yesterday. I know the two are different, but the losses would be in the ballpark of one another.
