350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

[ChemEng]

-40 cents and dropping. Dollar is rising. Europe is falling.
--------------------------------------------------
0901 update -45 cents and still rising. Not looking good for I fund today.

The French reaction is from exposure to the US sub-prime problem. They don't have a similar problem in the EU (go figure, the rest of the world stood by and watched the US fleece itself yet again :notrust

I would think, that if we can shake it off, so can they. Of course, that still remains to be seen.

The EU is erasing yesterday's gains, and almost at the point of retesting the recent lows.

I think 12% is on the money, they'll figure it out and the market will swing back.

More volatility, did you expect anything less...absolutely no reason to hit the panic button yet. However, it may be a good buying opportunity for those that slipped to the sidelines yesterday.

Do you smell FEAR.....if so, then it's time to buy.

We got news of more hedge funds halting redemptions, which means they're about to blow-up. This is causing the Yen carry trade to unwind. IMHO, we are going to see more of this.

The world did not stand by. They participated.

Breaking News..just In

Like I said earlier on a postive spin.......FED 100% CHANGE OF INTEREST RATE CUT!!!

 

[sdouglas3]

In my mind, a fund like the EFA that is down 2.5% is worthy to start taking positions (in the I-Fund). Not all at once. But percentages of your portfolio being placed to capitalize on buying low and selling higher.

would not be surprised to see the FED cut today. Just a gut feeling though. The reports coming out are all saying 100% of a Interest Cut . Love this bullshit. Also, I am going on my gut here, I bet we close up triple digits today..call me crazy!!! Watch those financials

ECB Injects €94.8 Billion To Ease Jittery Markets
By JOELLEN PERRY

Mounting fears that the U.S. subprime crisis is spreading to Europe prompted the European Central Bank to loan an unprecedented €94.841 billion ($130.2 billion) in emergency funds to European banks this morning, the first time it has taken such action since just after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Will the Fed do something similar?

http://www.cnbc.com/id/20195270 they did.. Ben has a change here to be a hero. He will act or he will face many mad investors.
The U.S. Federal Reserve on Thursday said it added $12 billion of temporary reserves to the banking system through 14-day repurchase agreements.

350...I owe you a few rounds of beer!! I'm on the lili pad with you. Thanks!
Ebb is going all into the I this am. Are you guys doing the same?? This market is crazy!!

 

[atcbullet]

Will Europe sell off enough today to make a possible - fv from our markets good for the I tomorrow. Also the Euro may rebound. What say you guys.

 

[12%ayear]

350z, thinking like a normal person will make you lose money in this kind of market. This market is a crazy monster.

Any FV will depend on where the market goes between 1130 and close. Action up to now doesn't have any bearing on it. But seeing as the USM is down a fair amount, I'd guess (and I'm stressing guess) that upside action is more likely...thus it's more likely we'll see a +FV.

Trading the I fund has been tricky as of late.

1033 Update -- Down 36 cents.

I agree completely. If the market action this afternoon warrants a -FV, then things have gone from bad to REALLY bad. I wouldnt want to be in I to make that play either as I dont think the -FVC would overcome the following day's free fall.
