Does anybody know what other markets, besides the US, will closed on Monday? If either Japan or the UK is closed for Monday(50% of I fund), I'd rather not stay in the I fund over the weekend.

I'm thinking they are going to have a ball, one extra day to play with "our" money :D
 
Japan Nukaga: Held Talks With US Paulson On Phone Today


TOKYO -(Dow Jones)- Japanese Finance Minister Fukushiro Nukaga said Friday he made a phone call to U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and exchanged views on the global economy and market moves.
"I made a courtesy call to Secretary Paulson to say greetings as new finance minister and exchanged views on the world economy," Nukaga told a press conference.
Nukaga also said he told Paulson that the Japanese economy overall is on a recovery trend, but he will continue monitoring Japanese financial markets closely amid global market instability due to U.S. subprime loan jitters.

Lets see, so far tonight, the Yen is falling like a rock. Japan and Australia are up over 1%. and the dollar is falling against all other currencies except for the Yen. Could it be that Bernake's speech is has already been leaked??:D

Does anyone know what time he is giving the speech?

Aside from that, I'm curious to know everyones opinions on the possibly outcomes of his speech and the + or - effect for the I fund as a result of his speech.

10:00am EST.

Read my previous post again. These things always get leaked out.

As for + or - effect:

+ effect is that the markets shoots up to the moon and you will make a ton of money. The momentum will carry over to Monday(for the I fund) and Tuesday because the shorts will cover and be a little scared to short again for a few days.

- effect, just look at my avatar. Get ready to take a 3% loss and head over to the G/F fund and curl up in a fetal position.:D
 
10:00 EST?

I'm not so sure what to think about that. This means we get screwed out of the opportunity to evaluate the markets reaction before making our IFT.

Over three days I've scaled into 100% I. Now I'm trying to evaluate if I should scale back starting tomorrow?

Time to get a monkey to flip a coin...:nuts:

The statement comes out at 10:00 AM eastern standard time. Our deadline is at 12:00 eastern standard time. You'll have plenty of time to evaluate the markets reaction.
 
I'm short, but fat too :D

Everyone good luck!

Just watched Bloomberg a bit ago between Independence Day. Just a layman’s observation, but it seems that the Chinese Government is taking steps to keep Yuan from flying out of the country (at what I think would be an inflated value if one were to try and pay me in trade with it). 3 or 4 of the Major Chinese banks have lost customers at the 50K income level from about 92% holding down to 80% this year. The customers are shopping for better deals, some to investment houses in China that are foreign operated. What that means, or how close I understood it, who knows, but saw it as an indicator to watch concerning Chinas currency.

This morning I noted that home sales have not slowed in the UK, interest rates there are still relatively low compared to the USM. There was some talk of an increase to slow down the market.

Something I’ve been thinking about on my own, being a DOD employee at basically an RTDE facility, is the money just flat out isn’t there anymore. Nationwide, DOD infrastructure is fighting between themselves for whatever comes down the pipe when the Eagle $%#&s. When the war effort in Iraq is reduced, the bills are going to really come in for existing infrastructure. And I bet Homer a doughnut that we, the US, will not see any value from the oil reserves there. Someone is either going to have to pay the tab, which could occur under the democrats. We all know whom that would be. However, the possibility of printing more money would seem to drive up inflation, something that is now being taunted as flowing along nicely. If the Prime isn’t cut, everyone is going to be short on change, consumer spending will roll back, imports will drop off from China, and as always during times like these, the Oil Slick stuff will go up a bunch. Other than the few little secrets out of Germany, the EU seems to be in itself in pretty good shape. Several of the countries are investing in military hardware to market within the union and allies. Business is booming, but they seem to get a bit itchy when the Euro drops to the dollar. I guess that effects their ability to compete with the international trade, and the black bitch over here is the FV stuff, especially in a mixed market, one such as someone said was missing here lately.

Sorry, my first attempt at a relative commentary

If it sounds negative, it's because I got my rating for the year. A 3 with full compatibly. No steps or bonus money to help out with the kids school fund. So I have to be cautious now. I'm doing an IFT back to the G fund tonight, and hopefully won't be crying next week.

Opps, good point there. I'm so used to making my IFTs at 10:00 GMT that I just brain farted the previous comment...:rolleyes:
 
You bring in an interesting perspective. Thanks!:)
