350Z's I Fund Thread JAN 08

Ben is lame. Bring back Greenspan, who at least knew about cutting. This guy is a statue.

Watching Fast Money on Cnbc. Very interesting, Now they are talking about what is looking good in a down market. It is funny that we just don't want to let go of those 14000 Dow day's. We keep getting 200+ down day's but holding on for that .50 basis point cut. That .50 basis point cut is probably worth 1 200+ point day and then we will want more and the market will proceed downward.

What I say could have been written at least 2 times since January 1.

I never watch CNBC.....they are all full of crap. Talkingheading who speak out of both sides of the mouth. Mute it

Down 36 cents total.

-FV was 39 cents.

:ban:

And here I was depressed around 9:30am when I saw some up-turn in the market. Is it morbid to want the market to continue sinking just so it can actually find it's bottom? I know there are a lot of folks in the fund right now who want to slash my tires for that, but hey, buy it while it's low!

Heads up:

Monday is a holiday and both the USM and TSP will be closed. The I fund will be open. If the USM can finish on a good note tomorrow, the I fund should do well on Monday.

On Monday night/Tuesday morning, the BOJ will hold interest rates. This should be a positive for the Nikkei.

But there is a BIG PROBLEM on Tueday morning. There are some earnings that are potential NUCLEAR BOMBS.

1: ABK - Ambac Financial - This might be the biggest bomb.
2: BAC - Bank of America -
3: AMFI
4: BKUNA
5: NCC
6: WB

ABK gave a warning that they might report a loss of $32.00/share.

How will the market react if these earnings are really bad? I don't know but I don't think I want to stick around to find out.

 

[350zCommTech]

WOW! The Nikkei is up 100 points. That's a 500 point swing from the morning session. I funders are going to be very happy tomorrow.

Hey Tracy Ray,

Don't be mad at frequent I fund traders for making a killing tomorrow in the I fund thanks to Barclay's 36 cent -FV.:laugh::nuts::nuts:

I've said this before and I'll say it again, FVs should be capped at 1% max. Doing this will solve a lot of the cost associated with the I fund.

 

[Frozen]

Who are you asking?

Sorry, Pezfallout.

Current Estimate:

Up 55 cents, including a 39 -FVC.

 

[ChemEng]

9:04 estimate: +16 cents from market change PLUS -FVC of +39 cents PLUS -0 cents from dollar change EQUALS +54 cents

Now appearing on the TSP Website:

January 21st - The stock and bond markets will be closed on Monday, January 21st, in observance of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Consequently, the Thrift Savings Plan will also be closed. Transactions that would have been processed Monday night (January 21st) will be processed Tuesday night (January 22nd), at Tuesday's closing share prices.

This won't mean much with two IFT's a month.....

Already know where mine will be going (and likely most folks) -straight into our gas tanks! Most folks need it to get to and from work. Likely not the intended "stimilus," but bet, that's where most of it ends up! :nuts:

C & S are now in the red. How's the I doing now?
