350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

[McDuck]

It appears that there will be an UfV of -0.86%. In addition to the MSCI of -1.16%,
the I-fund should be down at least 2.02% which is - $0.48.

EBB, WHERE DO I MAIL MY $15 CHECK FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST?
The only way that you could have done better would have been to called going into the F-fund yesterday - it was up 0.4% today which is huge for the F-fund.

 

[Jonathan]

I have the MBS (maximum bend-over scenerio) at -28 cents.

Actually, it looks like the EFA might have had a slight uptick at the end, which might put the fv closer to -$.19, even though the DJIA put it right around -$.25. I suppose it all depends upon how Barclay's is feeling tonight.

Nasty sell-off at the end of the day, regardless. I hope you're wrong about the I-fund tomorrow -- I'm all in

 

[ATCJeff]

For us buying the I-fund today, an -UfV would be nice. To have that, the EFA would have to close at or below 75.95.

(Bold added above)

You have to remember that a -FV most likely means that the OSM will sell off the following day. I would say a -FV is a bad sign of things to come!

Greg,

Check out the F fund thread. The AGG chart is useless. Some days it's good and some days it's bad.

Yup, you're right the EFA does put it at -19. But since the dollar was up in the afternoon(slightly), Barclay might go with my MBS of -28.

The Yen contiues to rise and appears to be unstoppable. I funders lookout. You might see panic in Japan.

 

[Birchtree]

If I can see $22.00 I'll be glad to take another 2% for charity.

Do not be surprised by Barclay's number.
Here we go again with CNBC, the end of the world is coming. The Fed statement was stale to say the least. August 7th was about a month ago. Remember a ton of negative news hit the wire after Aug. 7th, which the Fed did not have. LOL, the Fed knows if they do not cut rates, the economy will go into a recession and the fingers will be pointing at them. I tend to stay fully invested at this stage. When you have Consumer Confidence down that is the blood of the economy. Very bad sign. Without spending, you have inventory problems,lays-offs,bad earnings,and global meltdown. The Fed has to try to help the economy or Ben will look very bad.

 

[fabijo]

We've already got a taste of what the Fed will do to the shorts when they get out of hand. Maybe Ben can whack them with another surprise so they get the message: "Keep shorting and see what happens."

Looks like we're back -- and the I-fund is up about $.23 right now, after accounting for a (by my calculations) -$.26 fv yesterday.

Bloomberg has the I fund -.213 which -.23.

Out of curiosity, where does Bloomberg list the I-fund? I can find the EFA, of course, but generally I use ChemEng's spreadsheet, which currently has the I-fund at -$.077 after accounting for the dollar. With yesterday's $.-26 fv given back, it's around +$.18 now.

 

[350zCommTech]

Early estimate: Down .461% or -11 cents, plus 30 cents -FVC = 19 cents.

I'll take 30 cents, too

 

[Robo5555]

EBB master....ur the man!!!!!

 

[Jonathan]

Assuming we don't have a sell-off this afternoon, today's shaping up as a good day for the I-fund. Using Chemeng's spreadsheet (and assuming +$.30 fv payback) I'm showing +$.31 right now (+1.36%).

It's a NO BRAINER folks...

 

[fedgolfer]

you just jinxed the bull rally for the rest of the year

I love to hear that slogan!

LOL!

I should also add that tomorrow's GDP might cause the dollar to rise. I say might because it's actually old news. Regardless, I will spread it around.
