350Z's I fund thread NOV 07

[James48843]

I am trying to find out how I lost 2000.00 and, I moved everything to G fund at 2 am on the 27th. Why? And can someone please explain?

You moved everything to the G fund at 2.a.m. on November 27th? (Today?)

If so, first, let's look at your "$2,000 loss". Could it be that you are looking tonight (the 27th) at the balance, and it is $2000 lower than it was last night at 2 am when you were looking?


If so, then first, understand that what you were looking at last night was before YESTERDAY's (the 26ths) result were posted. They don't update account balances usually until about 7 a.m. or so. So any balance shown before the update is complete will show up as the previous day's balance. When you log in to the real TSP, you will see words that identify which day the balance you are seeing is representing. I.E. - "As of November 26,2007, your balance is...":

Now, you say you clicked on a trade at 2 am. last night.

That trade does not take effect until the closing of today's stock markets, meaning the prices which are published at 7 p.m. tonight.

So tomorrow, after 7 a.m., go log in and check your balance again. You'll have a postive number, since today it went up.

Not terrible (yet)!

The Fed playing politics got us into this mess and caused this housing bubble.

They had help, it was a big job. Sending trillion to Iraq, China and oil producing countries certainly had an effect. Although they messed up a good thing they created other opportunities that can be capitalized on by the flexible investors.

Japan comes back from lunch, and promptly falls down.

Nikkie 300 now showing down

US DOLLAR gaining momo.

 

[Robo5555]

Any estimates?

 

[ChemEng]

I dont think there was an FV yesterday.

10:09 estimate: +28 cents from market change PLUS -14 cents from dollar change EQUALS +14 cents.

Someone pull that muleta off my horns, hard to see if the gate is open or closed.

 

[ChemEng]

11:04 estimate: +37 cents from market change PLUS -13 cents from dollar change EQUALS +24 cents.

Looks like the classic no-brainer.

The only thing to fear would be the classic maximum bend-over scenario.

Staying 1 more day.

 

[350zCommTech]

Up 25 cents.

I'm not so sure. TNX suggests that this rally might mostly be short covering. There might be a sell off this afternoon. They're rally despite all the bad news. They're just hoping for a rate cut.

Japan will surely rally tonight if the USM ends like this, but Europeans are up nearly 3% today. Also, the dollar is bouncing.

A perfect setup would be a reversal this afternoon causing a big -FV.

OK 350.... you've got the advance copy of the Beige Book.... what does it say?

Anything gonna be a rally killer?


OT --- don't think anyone misses the tan man!

LOL!!

Beige book = stagflation....


Here's a question:

Why is the dollar rising if the market is expecting a rate cut?????

 

[ChemEng]

11:54 estimate: +40 cents from market change PLUS -16 cents from dollar change EQUALS +24 cents.

Where is a good place to track the dollar and see historical returns?

Exactly!!! I may be wrong, but I suspect some sort of trap. But what do I know?

12% likes the I for a daytrip and I wouldn't second guess that sharp pencil. I just couldn't make the trip with him.
