350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

[350zCommTech]

The yen looks like it's doing a cliff dive today.

I know what you're saying, but for folks that might not have a good understanding of currencies movements, S&S is referring to the USD falling against the YEN.

 

[350zCommTech]

Looks like the PPT is out working again today. Anybody noticed the volume at the bottom of the V? The USD/YEN is trying to bounce also. IF the PPT is successful today, and tomorrow's GDP/jobless claims don't surprise, we might get a rally tomorrow.

What is the PPT?

A possible rally in the OSMs or the USMs?

USM

Plunge Protection Team. It is the beleif of many that the Feds lends cheap/free money to primary dealers(brokers), who then puts the money to work in the market.

I noticed your change to 100S. I am staying put in I fund. How do you see the recovery?

 

[jayhawker]

11:40 estimate: -.566 or -13 cents. And dropping.

 

[jayhawker]

EAFE final: -.305 or -7 cents.

Japan threw off the estimate. Japan should have been about even (^N300 down -.78% and the YEN to USD up .84% at close.) However, the Japanese stocks in the EAFE wound up +.434 in USD. That made a big difference.

I feel that there will be a short-squeeze. Many people are now bearish and this only adds fuel to the fire.

You better get use to it because the computers in my classroom don't have excel.

Imports starting to suffer http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070328/circuit_city_layoffs.html?.v=3 I had a feeling last week about this BS and went against my gut. Something I never do.Losing1.20%That can be easily made up. However; markets are risky, not for the faint of heart. After doing some math, I need about 3.68%for my 12% gameplan. If I stay in the G Fund all year, I see about 3% left to gain, I would be short .69%.

No prob.

I don't feel any pressure, but I don't like to be "wrong." And it's fair to say that an explanation is due if the estimate is not accurate +/- .1. As you know, in making these estimates, we're making an assumption that don't always pan out. That was the case today.

I'm still confused about yesterday.

All I know is that yesterday the I-fund was supposed to be down -.06 cents (-.253%) as shown at the MSCI Barra site, but we ended only down -.03 cents that night.

Today, by my calculation the I-fund was supposed to be down -.16 cents and not the -.07 cents (-.305%) shown at MSCI Barra site. If we combine the -.16 cents for today and the -.03 cents they left out from yesterday, it's -.19 cents.

I think they may be trying to confuse us with all this. It's all becoming way too shady for my taste. :suspicious:

I have no idea...The dollar was up a tad but certainly not enough to account for that much of a -FV.

 

[jayhawker]

Well... that does add up correctly. But I sure never saw the estimate down as much as 16 cents today. If they're trying to confuse me - they're succeeding.

Tomorrow's closing price might clear up the picture. Maybe they applied a -FV today.

OK, so we have had the deadline and FVs to deal with, but we now have to also deal with the FUV. That's F*** Y** valuation.

They're applying FV when there should be none and vice versa. We're getting phantom FVs.

:laugh: They're getting back at us for all the IFTs. :notrust:
