350Z's I fund thread NOV 07

[12%ayear]

(OT)

IMO....

"GOOD" was being out of the market for the majority of the 1400 pt loss on the Dow (S&P) from its highs and recognizing we were due to correct 10% in it on real, legitimate underlying financial concerns that can quite possibly tilt this economy into recession, and banking profits for the past few trading sessions. Thats my definition of good. If you look to a few members account strategy threads, it looks like some people actually made some money in November or atleast were even and didnt pump their chests doing so. I didnt quite break even myself from the all-time highs I once had in my TSP back around the 3rd week of October but I'm almost there. Some of the TSP'ers here held up well despite the horrible month we just had and offer great advise both positve and negative.

Hats off to them for their diciplined approach.

First off, if you are referring to me,I am not pumping my chest. If I bother you put me on ignore. Secondly,I have been trading sice 1987. Also, you mention one lousy month, try mentioning 20 years of investing and trading.

That's a 42 cents +FV. Wow! They went above and beyond...

Nice....Congrats to those that were in the I today.

Tomorrow might not be the best day to be in I thou with this +FV.

I do not need your congrats, and tomorrow is a new day.

 

[12%ayear]

Yes the +fv is high;however we have a buffer with the Nikkei. Not worried at all.

 

[12%ayear]

Sorry 350z for taking up your thread on OT

Pretty high FV. While Congress is beating TSP management like a drum for messing with their retirement they should visit why the FV calculations are all over the road like a drinking sailor's car after the first day of liberty after an 8 month cruise.

Japan is currently up 2.2%...I guess that will help to ease the pain tomorrow if it holds. :nuts:

It's going to have to do better than that (plus another big gain for the European markets tomorrow, and hopefully help from the US dollar) to overcome a +42-cent FV. I agree with TallTimber, these FV's that Barclay's comes up with are absurd. It should have been about 28-30 cents today, at most.....not 42.

 

[Talltimber]

I guess if there is no FVC tomorrow, then no blood no foul. I wonder how many congressmen or their dependents are one of the 3,000 to get letters.

 

[RAE]

Yeah, it's almost like they're trying to discourage us from doing transfers on high volatility days. When Wall Street goes crazy like it did today, Barclays tosses a bomb into the I-Fund in the form of an over inflated FV which is timed to explode the following day.

It would not surprise me if that is exactly what they are doing:suspicious:

If Europe can repeat what they did on Wed (11/28) and Japan and Asia stays up then that would be approx +.20 over the FV. Everybody cross fingers and toes!:cheesy:

Are we down .42 cents for tomorow?

 

[Talltimber]

Yes, there will be a -42 cents FV correction applied tomorrow.

I bought I today, if it was priced $0.42 high, Then I was overcharged .42/25.21 or 1.7%. A 42 cent correction tomorrow would take .42/25.xx or another 1.6%. Resulting in a 3.3% loss due to Barclay's faulty calculations.

Well, it wouldn't be 3.3%. They will deduct the 42 cents today but there should also be gains to offset that. You're total loss should be less than 1.5%. We'll see how things go. It stinks and we all get stuck on the wrong side of the FV from time to time, but it's not the end of the world. I-fund should do well today and gain back much of the FVC.

right!! The bottom-line is that we are starting with a (1.65%).

 

[ChemEng]

Looking like a good time to buy into I.

8:01 estimate: +21 cents from market change PLUS +FVC of -42 cents PLUS -19 cents from dollar change EQUALS -40 cents.

 

[wv-girl]

For those of us already in --- FALL $ FALL. We need it to offset the - minuses in Europe and futures.

 

[Robo5555]

These fv numbers are frustrating.

USM is coming back up!!
