F Fund

[rcknfrewld]

All you are waiting for is for Bernanke to stop buying bonds. Then wham o. That is when the 'F Fund' should be bought. Still very toppy...

wouldn't tapering already be baked into the F fund price...everyone knows bond buying is going to stop

 

[blueroadster]

Yields go down = F Fund goes up
Yields go up = F Fund goes down

The Fed has been driving yield rates down. When they stop the bond buying spree, the F Fund won't like that so much and neither will the housing market.

 

[rcknfrewld]

where do you see the F fund price at the end of the year...after 3 months of tapering

May start looking at the F Fund if it hits its right shoulder next few days.

Steep pullback thus far...

 

[BichonFreeze]

The f fund has dropped about $ 1 ~.89% since may 29, given the strength of the f fund this year I'd imagine a rebound is possible.

You can make money in the F fund if you own 40,000 shares.

Um, not if price is going down... just means you lose more...

I call it the f---ed fund.

You can only make money in the F fund if you trade it and then you'll need multi-tens of thousands of shares to make it profitable.

AGG is at double top resistance. This happened not too long ago in August of this year. The fund went nearly straight down for about 2 straight weeks immediately following.

Nice observation. I'm 50% F right now. Maybe I'll use IFT #1 to sell F, then #2 later to buy S.

Still, have you noticed F is at 6.75% for the year, and 127 on the AT? Pretty impressive.

Not bad at all for such a low risk option. I'm also 50% in it and plan on getting out very soon. Primarily because of the setup on the S&P 500, but the resistance here helps too. Unless AGG blasts through it on Monday. That will throw a wrench in things. I still think there are more gains to be had in equities in the near future though. Santa's coming soon

F-fund has been taking a beating lately. If we get a SELL signal would going to F-fund instead of the G-fund make any sense since it's near it's 52 week low? Or not? I really don't understand the F-fund very well.
Simplistically put what would be good or ideal conditions to be in the F-fund? :feedback: Thanks!

There just doesn't seem to be a lot of safe places to be right now. Just watching the markets go red a few minutes ago. Sheesh...the bull is having a hard time.

Really. May just park in the G-fund for awhile and see how things shake out rest of June. If things get really bad in June that may create some buying opportunities. Time will tell.

Ok, I have the F Fund below an 8 month (Sep 18) previous low. The F Fund needs to kick butt like tomorrow or we can loose the long term:

 

[FogSailing]

I really don't like to hear "lower lows". Those are "red flags". I hope tomorrow brings an upward trend.

Thanks Bquat.

So is Greenspan saying, in effect, be wary (for our purposes) of the F-fund?
