350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

EAFE Final: +1.19% or +28 cents -15 cent FVC = +13 cents.

That should be 27-16 = 11 cents.

No, seriously, 13 cents.

G 12.08 even
F 11.45 even
C 16.37 -.02 -.12%
S 19.66 -.10 -.56%
I 23.44 +.13 +.56%

No extra cents from Barclay. When I said they were going to give us back the .15 cents they robbed from us in a month or two, it's more wishful thinking on my part. I really don't believe they'd do that, but I won't be surprised if they sprinkle the I-fund with a couple of cents here and there.

That's $.11 for the "S" fund!

Yep -- the dollar's dropped significantly today.

Any idea why?

Yep -- the dollar's dropped significantly today.

Any idea why?

Would it have something to do with all of the money that the Fed is pumping into the markets?

 

[James48843]

Housing data not so bad after all, Markets react favorably. Plus dollar drops.

"I" fund now showing up .13 cents.

Updated the spreadsheet to include a cell to enable quick and easy estimates to be posted in the I-fund thread. The process is simple.

Press Get Data! button.
Point to cell G36.
Copy that cell.
Paste data into reply box in 350z's I fund thread.
Post message.

One other small update. If there is a FVC for today, then you enter it into cell G34. (It will add itself into the estimate text automatically.)

Let me know if you have any problems.

"...Bank of Japan decided to keep its key interest rate unchanged. The BOJ reiterated its intention to narrow the gap between Japan's very low interest rates compared to all other nations. In doing so, the USD will come under pressure, and the Carry Trade will start to unwind again, causing more damage to global equity index levels. So, traders have their eye on the USD:Yen trade."

Sorry for another small I fund tracker bump. But I checked on TSP.gov to verify the I fund composition against what my spreadsheet was using. I found out that the allocations have changed. Ive updated the tracker to reflect this latest information. The latest should have ^FTSE (the UK index) as the first index on the list and not ^N300.

(Also, oddly enough if you add the % contributions on their information sheet you get 100.1% instead of 100%. Perhaps some insight there on the days where the numbers are a WEE bit off? )
