I 24.52 -.16 (-0.65%)

We have an FV of -.24 cents. That's great news! It's four cents better than I thought it would be (-.28 cents). :)

Hmmmm...Looks like they did exactly 1%. I remember when they used to do exactly .5% or 1%. They might have gone back to that.
 
Ebb,
Even with all the FV uncertainty, the I fund was the best performer of the stock funds! Great show!

While the sell-off was big and scary, I don't see any reason to panic yet. The stability of the Yen suggest we will see some profit taking in Japan but nothing terrible. The 10 year yeild actually closed well below the high of the day. If you got in the I fund for tomorrow, you will have a nice cushion. If you're getting out of the I fund tonight, start bending over.

Somebody agrees with me.:D

Nikkei seen slipping on US stocks but yen may help

"But the fall may be limited as the market lacks any major domestic factor for trade, and a softer yen should still support some exporters."

Warning: This is a rant.

This whole FV thing is really unfair and because of our deadline, it's really unnecessary. The people that were in the I fund today should have made money but got screwed instead. And the people that jumped in today are going to make out like bandits. It would be OK with me if they put 10 cent limit on FVs.

Todays news of the 2 Bear Stern hedge funds blowing up was great news to me. I like to hear more of it. Actually, I would like to see them all blowup. Goldman Sacks, Bear Sterns, Barclays, etc...
 
wow, my batting as been horrible lately. Need to see my batting couch. That is why in this business, one day you are a hero, the next day a loser. Key words..Focus on the ball. I thought last night the Nikkei would tank, boy was I wrong. At any rate, I Fund is down 15 cents(early estimate). Let us see what today brings to the table. Remember, investing is like a baseball game, long game with 9 innings and 162 games. So, dust ourselves off and think ahead. Do not look back. Learn from errors and as long as you team is above .500 and closing in first place, we are in business!!:)
 
Hey, wish I could chart all my losses last year (took all the major hits I believe), but I still came out okay for the year, 20+%.....

So, I agree with you, don't look back, because that only makes us afraid.

There is always a lot to be learned by looking back at the hits and misses. I find it helpful to look at my performance this way:

The goal being to remember what you did to make your account go up in relation to the funds, and learn from when it didn't. A major lesson learned for me, based on my little experience, is if I ever take a drop, but still manage to be outperforming the market (see 5-March of this year) I should go all in and forget about it. Being defensive when I should have been aggressive ended up costing me a lot this year.

But hey, I'm finally beating the F Fund (even if only temporarily).

Excellent post, good advice!

I stayed in the S Fund because I was busy and did not complete the transfer into the I Fund. Maybe a good sign. Oh well!!
 
After watching 10-15 minutes of CNBC this morning in the club house, I decided to move to the safety of the G fund. Looking back at the graphs, I see that both C and S funds boldly bounced off their 50 DMAs. Perhaps I should have stuck with my original move to switch to the S fund.

IMHO, todays' bounce in the market does not look good. After yesterday's big sell-off, I was expecting a much bigger bounce. This modest rally is only going to confirm a down trend. The ABX indexes are crashing again like they did prior to February's mini-crash in the markets, but so far, I'm not seeing any unwinding of the Yen carry trade. So, there's no panic yet.
 
1520 for S&P seems to be just in the range for a +FV (.50%)... will the change in the dollar negate the FV? Plus, yesterday FV corrected value .24, will be added to today's FV.
 
Please Note this...Very important..FWIW
