F Fund where will it go ?

[350zCommTech]

O.K.

Then how my calculation was off by .01 cent. I will research this in coming day's to figure out what is going on.

Sorry. I said f - fund was up .04 cent's but came out at .03 cent's.

.03574 is barely 4 cents. Yesterday's loss might have been -6.3 or so cents. Keeping a running tap of the F fund price, up to 4 or 5 digits, will make your calculation very accurate. That was what I used to do with the I fund price. I had the I fund price up to 8 decimals. That was why I was able to consistantly nail the price right to the penny. Oops..there goes another secret...

Now you know why I tend to blow my valves once in a while...

Yes I do.. I see what your saying. I need a calculator with more integer's. I'm going to get one at staples tomorrow. Thanks 350Z... I do appreciate it..

You're welcome poolman,

Actually, if you have Excel or any spreadsheet, it will be a lot easier. It will allow you to easily keep adding to the price day after day. And also, adjustments to the price can be done very quickly.

F fund will be below 12 in two weeks.

Wow - you talk about getting out in time. I was reading what others were writing and following the charts and found a trend that just when it looks like the F Fund is about to take off it turns. I was in it because the G Fund wasn't paying then would switch back to the G Fund for the 1 cent payday and it worked out well. Right now it is a bad fund that is suddenly high risk.

After reading the reports and looking at what some have said here and others I know this could be the fund that moves higher.

I believe it may (more than likely) hit well below $12.00 to $11.50 range JMO in this market then turn around.

Yeah, I had the same hunch watching it go up as the rest of the market continued to fall. If the markets are near or at the bottom now the F is probably the wrong place to be. Also as 350 stated you have to be weary of the AAA ratings not being met as easily as previously.

It was a smart play to stay in the G Fund but looking at the F Fund for Friday after the smoke clears tomorrow. Still a huge risk and could drop more.

Only took 6 days. Nice call.

So I am wondering if anyone's crystal ball is operating at all. I recall the 70's (stagflation)and in the end of that decade inflation and interest rates were in double digits. I recall getting a 8.5% COLA in Carter's last year in office but I also bought a house in 1981 and had to pay 14 5/8% interest on a loan to get into that house.
There was no F fund at that time....so what will the F fund be doing under those circumstances, that is, with high interest rates. Will the F fund rise. Or will it tank. Does the value of F fund shares only rise in declining interest rate environments?
Do we all run and hide in the G fund? Or so we take our 5% match and look for other places for our money?

Hi logdoc -
This is from my 2/25/08 commentary...

Bonds (the AGG) remain in an uptrend as the Fed continues its rate cutting mission. The recent inflationary data would have us believe that rates may have to stabilize at best here, and possibly move higher (which would cause bonds and the F-fund to move lower), but the slow down in the economy and the credit crisis makes this a tough call for the Fed. They indicated that they will remain aggressive cutting rates for now, but may have to shoot them back up quickly once the economy appears back on track.

Inflation is a concern but certainly not out of control like the 70's. The Fed is aggressively cutting rates so I wouldn't abandon the F entirely until the chart breaks down. The AGG is down today but the low made last week is hanging on for now. If that breaks on a closing basis, I'd be more willing to switch back to the G fund. For now, we could be at the bottom of an asending trading channel for the F fund.
