EK, those stars don't mean anything as long as I can still vote for myself . Maybe they can fix in the future .

Hope all goes well...so far it looks I got to beat the I fund by a few points, meaning it saved me from taking the deep dive the I fund did.

This call was on the money!! Coingrats

Gonna have to keep an eye on you.

phillyfed, I don't think it did well this time. The way my system is set up, it asks me to do the IFT to the fund on the date for which it posted before 11AM. So yesterday, I would have got out with a loss, and then today, missed the come back.

11DEC2007......TUESDAY......G = DO an IFT to G on 11DEC before 11AM. (OUCH,right?)

I didn't play it that way, since I expected a big jump yesterday with the Fed Cut...I stayed in the I fund, glad I did, or I would have had a 2% loss yesterday and today.

Overall, I still think I did better than the I-fund, I just crunched some numbers today. I want to do as well as Griffin though

I am still not sure if I get your set up as of yet.

In the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday set up currently, are you showing on Monday that you were going to IFT on Monday from I to G for Tuesday?

Then on Tuesday, from G to I for Wednesday?

I just need to get this simplified better for my brain cells is all.

Thanks for any help.

Gotcha.....I mistakenly thought you were exposed to those funds on those days. That would have been nearly perfect.
