Re: 350Z's I Fund Thread-Feb07

Well i was consideribg an FV play today but it looks like the disaster has happened already. A total meltdown would need to occur now to exploit the FV scenario and that would probably drag down overseas so I not doing it.
I'll sit and wait.

12% It appears you might be right again, most of the "I" stocks are moving North as of this post.

Yes, the markets sort of came back from the dead, but they've been doing this for three days in a row now. How much longer can they keep this up?

Well, it looks like it will be at least one more day. Today it's bulls vs. bears part 4. The score is currently bulls-3 and bears-0. All the Funds are at the top of their channel. The I fund is still safest place to gamble. The dollar is due to fall.

Thanks for the link. Yeah! 12%ayear is on a roll. Better keep an "I" on him.

One more update to the Majors:

I added the largest German Holding in the I Fund - SI.
The link now accounts for 20% of the I Fund Weight.

It will affect the consumer. The Fed.'s hands seem tied. Look at Toll Brothers..very bad. http://www.usatoday.com/money/companies/earnings/2007-02-22-toll-bros_x.htm My point is that the dollar seems very fragile.

I agree that the dollar is fragile, in the long term. But in the short term, it's the case of which Central Banks is more hawkish. They don't have to rasie rates for the dollar to go up. BOJ just raised theirs to .50% but it still very low compared to the Feds 5.25%. Also, the BOJ might not raise it again for a while. Their first hike was in July of last year. And if Iran does anything stupid, up goes the dollar.

For the next day or two, I agree, the dollar is due to fall. It is a little bit over bought.

Does anyone have a listing of the individual stocks and their weightings that compose the EAFE index? TSP.gov lists the top 20%, but I cant find anywhere that gives more than that...

Anyone?

The numbers listed on that site do not agree with what TSP.gov says. Perhaps its a EAFE vs EFA difference? Got a link to the EAFE components?

Score another one for the Bulls! For four days in a row now, they have successfully defended the ship from being sunk by the bears. I will continue to sit on the sidelines wait this one out. But I'm slowly losing my patience because the dollar is about to fall. I can't remember the last time I stayed in the G this long.

After today, Bulls-4, Bears-0.
