350Z's I Fund Thread JAN 08

[350zCommTech]

Current estimate:

Down 32 cents, including a 27 cent +FVC.


It's all due to the F@##%$%#$ FV.

Generally just an observer here but I have a question, where do you get the quote for the I fund real time? I have always just gone by EFA which I know is not always an accurate reflection of the I fund share price.

Thanks for your help.

You get it by asking 350Z very nicely.

You must also do much homework by reading reading reading. It's been discussed to death.

yep... very nicely. He's a little pissed with the I right now. See 596

So...has the I fund bottomed out yet? I guess 12%thinks so. I've been on the sidelines waiting for the right time to jump in.

I Fund:

Should I stay or should I go?
If I stay there will be trouble.
If I go it will be double.

Decisions decisions...

Wait for at least a couple UP days on good volume... and the dollar to weaken.

Just my opinion though.

If you do anything, I'd suggest you just nibble vs go in 100%.

Down 50 cents, including a 27 +FVC.

My only concern is that a +fv this afternoon. 12 min. to think. I think we will rally hard this afternoon into triple digits gains. So IMO the +fv will be huge, but OSMs are down crazy %s the last few days.

You have the FV correction to offset any potential +FV today. More importantly, there will need to be a major turnaround for there to be a +FV. Don't really see that happening, unfortunately.

Looking at currencies, we are on a knife's edge. Hanging on one last support. It needs to move up from here. Break down here and we crash.

A +FV is a +FV. Does not have to mean the I fund will go green.

Not if you are entering the I Fund for tomorrow. If there is a huge +fv you will start tomorrow with a huge -fv. I see a triple digit gain today in the markets. I just feel it. So, I am staying in the S Fund.

woulda, coulda, shoulda. F looking very good. 350 what happened to that get in F plan of yours?

Plans only work if you stick to them. Deviate from them and you get screwed by Barclay.

 

[Silverbird]

Ok, automatically being in the TSP, ok. But automatically in L2040 if you are just starting your work life? Ouch ouch! Right now the matching fund will just vanish in thin air. G fund may not match inflation but G fund + matching might.

Ok 350... new plan... you and Payton cover Barclay... you've done it before, you can do it again!!! Don't let him get that FV rebound!!!



I'll be on the bench in the G/F... go benchwarmers!!!

(G) Fund exceeded/beat inflation for 2007. Its return was 4.87%

It was 4.93% in 2006.

It was 4.49% in 2005.
