This shows an intraday indicative value. Although I've found it doesn't always show up in I fund price but it gives you an idea.

Looks like that was about right.

I fund bounced nicely near its 50 dma. C fund bounced back above its again too. S fund is lagging and trying to make it.

I'm adding to I fund today and using my last IFT.

Do you think we will have to pay for the fair value again today? Edited: Never mind. Just read your post below. I hope it's not too much.

Thanks much Clester. There are indeed a lot of moving parts. So after reviewing the links you shared, am I correct in understanding that the -.4% FV you mentioned/estimated is the difference between today's EFA close and what the actual I fund price will be COB today?

Maybe. I think they tinker with it some just to keep people from trying to figure it out and taking advantage. I think what the U.S. Market does after noon plays into it as well. There is a way to keep track of it. If you search the forum you can find a lot of info on it. You just really can't play it. Especially with 2 trades. I just try to focus on the EFA index. If possible I try to scale in and out over a couple days to avoid getting caught on a bad fair valuation day. But when I bought in the first time on this entry I got hit with a bad one. EFA was up about 1% and I fund was down 0.25%

 

[vafunkie]

FV was -0.6% today. I finally got on the green for May. 75I 25S

I always thought that they should not GUESS on the value of the markets in the EAFE but wait until they were closed to do it, no guessing just a longer wait, TIME is relative, no FV problem.

The I fund looks to have a positive fair value to be added to of about .5%

I fund should be -0.1% today. Fair value payback?

-0.03%

-0.03%

Not much of a fair value expected today. So EFA should be about right. I expected a big down day in I fund but it's looking ok. I guess currencies are helping. It's still a buy.

S fund failed at a store 50 dma again so it's a sell.

C fund is right at its 50 dma again. Can it hold it? Caution flag on C fund

Agreed...IMO, until this shakes out and establishes a new channel any C fund move (in or out) is high risk.

Not much fair value today either. What you see is hat you get on EFA and its doing well. Close to previous high and breaking out to the upside.

S fund still failing at 50 dma and C fund just churning.

 

[clester]

I fund should be +1.00% today

 

[clester]

I fund broke out to new high this morning. C fund still churning. s fund still below 50 dma.

Right now looks like I fund I'll get a -0.3% far value

I fund is +0.37% so we're owed at least 0.4% maybe as much as 0.6%

Maybe give a little back today?

 

[clester]

All stock funds are back in Buy zone. I fund still performing the best though. Its RSI is up to 63 ish and the warning flag goes up at 70 so we still have plenty of room.

so... letting it ride for now
