350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

[Aviator_Guy]

If my math is correct, the “G” YTD has beaten the C, S and I funds YTD. Even if you combine all three CSI funds together, the G fund has a better YTD. I will never call the “G” fund The Mattress Fund again!

I keep jumping around trying to find a good return, but before long, I will begin to sink. I’m Ex Navy here, but I don’t like swimming sub “G” fund rates. Anyway, good luck with your TSP investments.

Tomorrow will be one of the most interesting trading days in a long time, it should be interesting to see it unfold. I haven’t panicked yet, but then I haven’t allowed my wife to see my market loses over the last 5 weeks!!

I don't profess to know the inner workings of these funds so I'd like to pose a question. Theoretically, if everyone has been running to the safety of bonds, then why has the F Fund not made any strong gains?

Hell at this rate the G fund will pass all of them. :blink:

It appears everyone is buying 3 mos t bills, Not 10 yr notes. I think it has to do with fed adding liquidity, but not sure. But your'e right, the F should have smoked the past two days. Hopefully tomorrow.

Foriegn pruchases were down again. China is slowly selling off US treasuries. I read about it this morning, but can't find the article.

Housing numbers and jobless claims tomorrow should help the F fund.

I know how you feel 100% I also. The panic may already started. Is this what they call SHOCK AND AWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk about the shot heard around the world, today's slide is amplifying Australia is now down -4.7% and Japan is down -2.6%.

The BOJ is injecting cash into the money market again.

The Yen carry trade is unwinding at FULL FORCE. We might see real panic tomorrow. USD/YEN at 115.20 could be support for the market, but we're so close to it now that it might be broken later tonight/early morning tomorrow. S&P 1370-5 will be key. If that doesn't hold, oh boy.....

Tomorrow could be a good buying opportunity for the S fund. HP is expected to report good earnings tomorrow after the bell. It might be just what the market needs. Especially if we have panic tomorrow. I'm going to stay away from the I fund because of FVs.

I sure did pick an odd time to join this forum & start learning. :nuts:

From my perspective this has been an insane month and I've learned some great lessons the hard way! I'm sitting at (6.79) since I joined up. I've been humbled by many of you, and grateful for the lessons that have helped reduce my losses. I can at least still say I'm beating CSI since I started tracking

I'll be drinking the cheap beer tonight, so theres plenty to go around.

I agree totally 350z. The dollar also has me scared. The carry trade may be unwinding involuntarily now.

Here is the good news in all of this:

After being down over 7% last night, Japan bounced back and finsihed just (-1.64%) lower .

I think that indicates that we may be nearing the bottom of this cycle.

Then again, it could be that I am just being delusional again.

It always gets to the point were people throw in the towel, then you know its good to go. I am not worrried, I am sticking to my plan of locking in at least.23% a week.

I am not worried. I only wish I had gotten out so I could jump back in.

I'm in I fund today as well. :blink: I'm certainly living up to my Alias today, but in the words of Rocky himself. "It ain't over...till it's over!"

I don't think Japan was ever down that much. The Seoul market was down over 7%.

I think Japan was down somewhere around 3.5%, and closed down 1.99%.

Relax everyone, we will do well in the end. Stick to your plan and don't allow anyone to mess with your mind. Many will come out of the woods and claim to know the markets because they were in the G Fund. I am seen this crap so many times over and over. If you got caught in it, do not panic.CNBC has the end of the world coming. The truth is think about the days you will miss when we rally. I know many will say it is like catching a falling knife, the most overused phrase in this kind of market. Everyone becomes a pro, who don't know crap. Gloom and doom naysayers. Look at people like EBBY,350Z,TSPTALK,GRIFFIN,and other fine members who have a headsup. They think boths sides before making a choice. I admire that. So enjoy your day and focus about the next move.

Bloomberg quote -2.603%

 

[James48843]

Early look says the "I" fund is now showing down
(-0 .52) cents, as of 8:40 am.

 

[James48843]

Weatherweenie-

You are right- South Korea was down 7%, not Japan.

My mistake. I stand corrected.

Hang on folks- this is where it gets good.
