The Fed knows they have to cut or this will be a huge problem for the economy. Next week, we have a ton of data from them and us to figure out. Everyone get on your surfboard and ride the waves. btw Bloomberg + a penny at this stage for the I Fund. If you notice, the OSMs are ran up2-3 %. The I fund is a laggard bigtime., Staying 100% in the I FUND. :)
 
Easy for you to say! You made big money in the S fund Friday! I'm in the I Fund for the 2nd biggest day of the year and got a lousy penny! Now that's a saying that ought to be on a t-shirt! I got bamboozled!!! :mad:

:)
Jayhawker... I was in the I Friday and yesterday too, and that's exactly how I feel. I wasn't 100% in the I, therefore I got more in the G fund, which paid the penny yesterday, than I did in the I fund. That $UCK$!!! :mad:
 
0918 early estimate: +5 cents from market change PLUS +1 cent from dollar change EQUALS +6 cent.

OSMs have been dropping this morning, but USM futures are up so that will likely help.

In my opinion, this economy has huge problems, regardless, and the fed alone can't fix it, since they can't keep up to 1 million homeowners from defaulting on their mortgages. And unfortunately, an awful lot of those risky mortgage loans found their way into other investments around the world.

I agree that there are opportunities here, too, but the biggest problem with trying to time moves into and out of the funds right now is trying to anticipate what can't be anticipated: if and when a fed cut will provide a temporary boost to the market, and if and when more bad news will send the market spiraling. It's actually quite frustrating.

I'm still a relative newcomer to all of this, and I'm going to be giving the Ebbtracker system a very close look. I do tend to be bullish overall about equities in general and the I-fund in particular. But I really do think that, right now, any prediction's going to be having a hard time. The market isn't a "steady state" system right now, and too many random variables are influencing outcomes.

Looking back on that post, I realize it sounds pretty pessimistic, and I don't mean to be overly that way. It's just hard not to be pessimistic when you hear constant bad news, and especially when you make exactly the wrong IFT moves several times in a row :(

Looks like the I-fund has been around the +$.07 to +$.09 range all morning.
 
IMO - I'm seeing a rate cut coming soon.

I hope it's not today.

UPDATE 1-Fed injects $3.75 bln in via overnight repos
Tue Aug 21, 2007 10:34AM EDT
NEW YORK, Aug 21 (Reuters) -
The U.S. Federal Reserve said on Tuesday it added $3.75 billion of temporary reserves to the banking system through overnight repurchase agreements as it attempts to ease short-term lending conditions.

That brought the amount the central bank has injected into the banking system via overnight repos since Monday to $7.25 billion.

CNBC believes fed will now delay rate cut to avoid the appearance of bending to political pressure.

You bet! The whole CNBC crew, Cramer the Crier included, made the Fed look bad and now they are going to have to save face some how. The discount rate cut helped no one but the big boyz.:suspicious:

Classic!
 
If I was Ben B. I would be pissed off at CNBC and on the phone to the President of NBC telling him to get some control over his network. Tell them to report the newd and quit giving opinion, speculation, innuendo, and having childish hissy fits on the air. It's not helping the problem and CNBC does not dictate economic policy.
