350Z's I fund thread OCT 07

Airlift,

You can stop the hard copies by logging onto your account and change the option to email only.

I am sorry that I am posting this question in this thread, but I've been calling the TSP.gov telephone number repeatedly and nobody answers. Can someone please tell me where in the TSP.gov website can I state that I want to stop receiving the IFT notices in hard copies which are currently mailed to my physical mailing address? Thanks in advance for your help!

Airlift,

You can stop the hard copies by logging onto your account and change the option to email only.

I don't think this is true. You can stop quaterly statements from coming via mail, but not IFT's. Unless of course, you fill in your email address like I said above.

ATCJEFF.

Your right. My bad. I logged in to my account and it is the quarterly statements that have the option. Sorry.

Current estimate:

Down 1 penny.

 

[350zCommTech]

Heads up. The Yen is rising.

 

[Frixxxx]

Heads up. The Yen is rising.

newbie question here, but does that mean it's good or bad for I funders?

It's good for the current I fund price, but bad for the markets overall. This might just be a blip or the start of something big. In other words, use caution...

 

[350zCommTech]

I''m by no means an expert here..But reading between the lines with a +FV for later today and a YEN increase means good news for the I fund.

Not exactly, the rising Yen is usually bad for the markets, especially the Nikkei.

But if the Yen was to reverse significantly in the afternoon, markets will rebound and we could certainly see a +FV.

 

[350zCommTech]

As of now,

Down 11 cents.

Perfect set-up for some +fv this afternoon. I see the markets comeback. The USM will close a tad red, but the I Fund will close green. My 2 cents.

OT- What country is the largest producer of natural gas, and the second largest producer of oil?

 

[350zCommTech]

Down 10 cents.

-FV day?

-FV day?

not with the US DOLLAR getting whacked.

OT- What country is the largest producer of natural gas, and the second largest producer of oil?

What does this have to do with the I-fund?

Russia has about 10 times the natual gas reserves of the USA. Iran has the second largest natural gas reserves, which comes out to about 4 times the USA reserves.

Natural gas is actually the best alternative to run cars, but we use natural gas to make electricity and heat homes.

Hydrogen is a net loss of energy. It takes more energy to make the hydrogen than the hydrogen produces. You do not hear this fact much.

 

[NyteTracker]

What does this have to do with the I-fund?

Nothing.
OT=Off Topic, and the link has changed, this was the story if it is still there.

 

[12%ayear]

looks like no fv . -.41% for the day...not bad. EAFE2,350.836-0.41%

 

[The Great Pumpkin]

12% can you please tell me how you are getting the -.41 %? My spreadsheet is showing the MSCI EAFE at-1.24%. Perhaps there is a calculation I need to know.
Thanks
