True, but the Bears went from a Super bowl team to last in their division. At least the Dolphins might get the number one draft pick.

Been a closet Charge fan since July 14th 1965 where at 9 years old was allowed to play around the field during their practices in Escondido. I never recovered after the era of Air Coryell. Go Colts! Also, indirectly related to the I fund, is a question about the $459 billion defense budget for this year.
Will sound kind of dumb, but I don't think they have that much money. Yes, more can be printed, but what actually backs it? The future performance value of our economy 50 years down the road (sic)? Does a budget like that directly or indirectly affect the value of the dollar outside the States? I mean with that kind of military budget, I'd be hoping for a full COLA, but it doesn't sound likes that's going to occur. Is any of it due to be spent in countries that participate in the MSCI EAF for maybe a hit in the shorts? I know it's trickledown, but wonder, if they wonder, if the money is really worth anything.
35 minutes into my Ambien pill, so might not be making much since. I’ve been sitting in I since Nov 11 until Dec 20th. wishing I could have been a day earlier on both side of the transfer bacjk to G. There were positive earnings, not a bucket full of money, unless they were in a metal gallon bucket. I keep looking back at history (one year) and wonder could the market fall that far, I mean is the money actually still there at that point. It’s kind of easy to see the trends lately, but my timing sucks pretty bad, so haven’t tried any day trades in months. It’s a fantasy I have, to see the I fall to the mid 22’s, then I’d jump in like 6 year old at a pool party. Ok, I’m PWI at this point, will apologize and say thank to any possible questions that might have been typed here. Hell, I'm thinking they could shave off a few mill for the Okies, those peeps need power. Going through Christmas without it won't be much fun.

Is there another thread I should apologize in? I don't mind, builds character

[Robo5555]

Switching to the task at hand....it seems like our I fund team will be a winner today.

 

[Robo5555]

Don't know....the real return for 2007 is about 7.5% for the I fund.

 

[350zCommTech]

Current Estimate:

Up 28 cents, including a 16 cent -FVC.

 

[350zCommTech]

Up 16 cents, including a 16 cent -FVC.

The markets look like a dead cat. The housing numbers were bad as expected and bonds caught a big bid. F fund up 4 cents so far.

Morgan Stanly reports tomorrow morning. They're expected to report a loss.

The 17.54% rate is from Nov. 30, 2006 to Nov. 30, 2007, during which the closing I fund prices increased from $21.55 to $25.33, which is a 17.54% increase. The current year to date (through 12/17/07) return is 11.1%, based on a Dec. 29, 2006 closing price of $21.54 and a Dec. 17, 2007 closing price of $23.93.

I show the 06 closing price as $22.22 for the I fund...making the YTD 7.69% as Tom shows on the Home page.

HO! HO! HO! Are we seeing Santa Claus?????

After what we saw this morning? Yes, I think it was an early Xmas present.

I'm glad we put a temporary bottom in, Yea for today but still. I really wanted to go all G like 350Z but the bottom started falling out of the market at around 11:30a.m. so I decided to DCA another 5%.

If I can get out tomorrow in the green I will, but I think today's GS relief rally was weak. I'm really nervous about this market and my Gut is telling me to get out.

Although I can't forget a small Santa Claus rally, option expiration's on Friday which will tell alot and Window Dressing until the end of the year.

 

[350zCommTech]

No +FV.


Up 16 cents for today.

New price = 24.09

Poolman,

This morning's rally was a dead cat. I really wanted to go into the F fund but it was doing too well and I didn't want to take hit if the market bounces tomorrow.

The rally this afternoon came when NDX found support at 2000. I didn't see any good news. The Nasdaq composite failed to close above 2600(200dma), which is not good. GS closed down 3.7% despite posting great numbers. There were rumors of November being not so good.

This morning, the ECB injected +300B into their money markets. That tells me something is seriously bad over there. We have not seen the bottom yet.

I wish you good luck tomorrow.

Thought it was a half trillion?

Marketwatch.com said it was 348B. It was on their minute by minute news. There's no link for it.

The euro fell to below $1.44 [yesterday] but has rallied back above this morning. Money market rates in Europe tumbled this morning after the ECB injected an unprecedented $500 billion into the banking system as part of a global effort to ease gridlock in the credit markets. The ECB wants to make sure the markets know they're seriously committed to restoring faith in the interbank market. While they have been willing to inject short term cash, they are still talking hawkish when it comes to inflation. These short term loans will be temporary, and interest rate cuts still don't seem to be on their agenda. I would expect to see the euro bounce back up with these sub 1.44 levels being viewed as some excellent buying opportunities.

Actually 348 euros is about 500 dollars at the current rate.
