I know that. (quote)

Gee did you ever think that other people that read the I fund might not know about the FOMC regs? Maybe not eveyone is as clued in as you two perhaps.

At least it's nice to know that your responses weren't rude - "like thanks but I knew that". Gee I guess I'm just too sensitive. MY BAD.

This is the ugliest day I can remember seeing. I think I'm glad I got tied up at work and forgot to do an interfund.

I see it, I see it, is that the handle or the blade?

I Fund August low is getting close.
S&P Futures at 1376.5. Isn't that just off some sort of support level I've read here?

Was bored waiting for Europe to open. Lots of newspapers. Denmark is on a roll, the Dutch will tighten their belts slightly, the Polish look to be having fun and the Arabs will have lots of new toys to play with it looks like.

REALLY glad I got caught up at work yesterday and didn't make a move from the G. I feel bad for anyone who is about to take a bite of this crap sandwich.

LONDON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Britain's top share index slid 1.6 percent to below 6,000 on Wednesday, pinned down in the red by banks and commodities as stock markets worldwide recoiled on the growing prospect of recession hitting the United States.

By 1150 GMT the FTSE 100 .FTSE was down 96.2 points at 5,292.4, breaking below the psychological 6,000 barrier and at its lowest point since mid-August 2007. The index has lost more than 8 percent so far this year.

I've been using efa symbol in Big Charts to get a sense of general movement of the I fund, discovered this morning there's another ETF out there that started last summer that also tracks the EAFE, for those wanting an index fund outside tsp that corresponds to I fund, you might want to take a look at this one too. It has some cost differences from EFA.

The symbol works in Big Charts, but when I compared its indicator patterns to EFA indicator patterns with the ADX/DMI indicator, they have some differences show up. MACD has a pretty consistent similar pattern between EFA and VEA tho.

 

[350zCommTech]

Current estimate: Down 42 cents, including a 19 cent -FVC.


The dollar just shot up big.

 

[350zCommTech]

Down 39 cents.

 

[James48843]
