350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

[12%ayear]

There might be a -FV if the dollar rises more.

That was my fear to go into the I Fund today. I rather bet on the overseas tomorrow with BOE and European Bank. US Dollar should sell-off tomorrow on Hawkish statements OS. I grabbed the S Fund today on banks and tech, which was pretty flat on CSCO,but picking up buying now. GL

350z: Seems the situation is reversed today. I'm in, you're out.

No +FV... no +FV... no +FV... :worried:

The Fed rally was not enough to cause a +FV. Besides, the dollar rose enough to cancel atleast 5 cents of any +FV.

So, there shouldn't be any +FV or -FV.

The Fed statement was exactly as I expected, but I was expecting a bigger rally so I can steal a +FV. Oh well, you can't have everything fall your way.

EAFE final: +.508% or +12 cents.

I think it's only gonna be +7 or +8 cents instead because of what the dollar did in the afternoon. It should give us an I fund price of $24.39

FTSE down 3 days, plus a holiday which was closed Monday. My point is, look for a pop in the FTSE Thursday

G 11.91 even
F 11.37 -.02 (-0.18%)
C 16.84 +.06 (+0.36%)
S 20.49 +.12 (+0.59%)
I 24.45 +.14 (+0.58%)

That's all she wrote, folks! Wow, another extra two cents for the I-funders despite the dollar gaining after noon.

I said that there would not be any FV today.

Yippee!! That's what I get for my pessimistic attitude.

Yesterday I checked on the Nikkei 225's index and found that in 1989 it was all the way up at +38,900 points. Today it's less than half its former self at +17,800. Is there a doctor in the house!

Ebb,

There is a movie about the bankruptcy of the Barings Trading Desk due to the Nikkei's demise.

I fund seems to have stalled out. The breakout failed. Where do we go from here?

G fund might pay out tomorrow. For sure Monday.

We had a significant gap down at the open this morning. Recently, these gaps have been filled by the afternoon or the next day. IMO, this market is not ready to tank yet. With a nice rise in the USD/YEN today, the Yen carry trade will become less of a concern. IF the USM can continue the trend and finish slightly up, the Japanese exports will do well tonight.

My only concern is the PPI report tomorrow. With the recent surge in gasoline prices, the risk for the PPI is on the high side. But if the core PPI comes in flat or a rise of just .1, the markets will rally. PPI is not as big of a concern as CPI.

FTSE coming back.
