350Z's I fund thread OCT 07

[weatherweenie]

On Oct 5th the C fund was 17.48, the S fund was 21.18

The gains for the C & S don't look right.

They are correct, do not forget they were down yesterday and up today. I think they were both down .30% yesterday..BTW nice job nailing the +fv to the T.

Final MSCI EAFE = +.71%

We're even from Monday (-.71%) and Tuesday (+.71%).

So at what time do you check ChemEng's chart to get the final number? At 11:30 EDT it has us at +.01 for the two-day period.

Thanks 12%.

That would make it a +.586 FV for today - that seems reasonable

Both days were from:

You can check after 2:30 or 3:00 PM EST.

When you get to the site, change the calendar date to today's date then click on the search button.

Look for EAFE under Day.

.15 cents....not bad for a day that started in the red.

Looks like a good start for Wed. Japan is up .32% so far!!

Look on this thread but for the month of Sept. A lot of good info on FV.

What are you looking for on FV?

Thanks, I certainly appreciate the suggestion.
I'm oblivious to anything concerning the term.

The easiest way to explain it is....the I fund closes at 11:30 EST and the US markets at 4 PM EST. During the 4 1/2 hour lagg (11:30 to 4) the market moves up or down. If the move reaches a certain percent...about .5% from the 11:30 price then they will adjust the price of the I fund taking into consideration the .5% or more move. That way the I fund will reflect the full US market impact. Hope this is clear as mud...

We seperated out a couple of conversations that expalin the FV process for exactly this purpose:

CAC, DAX, FSTE and Japan barely budged- a mixed market this morning.

All make it look like a pretty flat open and probable flat day ahead.

The falling dollar seems to be helping out though.

 

[James48843]

Yes, dollar is getting hit pretty good right now.

First run of the spreadsheet this morning shows +.01 for the stocks, plus .09 for the falling dollar, equals a postive ten cents so far, as of 8:47 am.

 

[Robo5555]

A dime up is a good start. Anytime we start on the green is good.

Holiday quarter plus election year coming....might be a great time to be invested in stocks!
