F Fund

Sort by newest Sort by date
A while back I mentioned that the F was taken a break....looks like that time is over with the fund still making returns, just not as great....looks like the grass should start growing faster soon....
 
Why are people jumping into F fund today? Bonds are down because of labor report this morning, but as the report on CNN says: "Bond traders will be also be looking closely at the Fed's "Beige Book" survey due out at 2 p.m. ET."

Seems to me that U.S stock will move in the same direction as AGG in responst to Beige book. Either both will be up or both will go down. If up, why not C and S? If down, why not G? What am I missing that could result in stocks down but AGG up?

p.s an answer in the next 4 minutes to make deadline would be nice.
 
The Fn' fund is really jerking my chain again! What's this fall right at the end of the day business?:mad:
 
nnuut,

keep an eye on (TLT) 20+ yr bond ishare; seems to exaggerate direction of AGG up or down. And/or watch of ($TNX) for 10 year bond yield/inverse of (AGG)
 
From one of the talking heads on CNBC, "when the price of oil was heading down money was rolled into bonds." My thoughts- If oil starts back up, it will be interesting to see the effect on bonds. For those saying that oil will drop to 45 dollars a barrel again, I see OPEC putting the brakes on that when and if oil gets below 58 dollars. Also for those who are into gaps, the AGG chart has a nice gap up between Sep 18th to 19th that needs to get filled.:blink:

Anyone going to play the F fund for a short term defensive play to find support off its 10 day MA ($10.987)? Probably the better defensive fund to be in the short term starting tomorrow... especially since G gets the penny tonight. Only thing keeping me on the fence is F could easily go sideways or downward to its 20 day MA (also bottom of trend channel).

....Seems to bounce off that 20 SMA roughly once a month....shouldn't be long now. A lil' patience may pay off....i be sittin' in G 'til that opportunity presents itself. :cheesy:
 
I mentioned that this fund should start to go the utter way last week....looking for it to pause here this next week or so and then produce some returns after that....:)
 
Well, how about that Fn' fund, -.39, just don't like it when more people have jobs. I just love the "F" fund!:blink: What do you think about Monday now Ebbnflow? Opps -.47 at 11:40!
 
Ouch! What happened to the F'n fund today? -0.57% at 3:30. Usually this is a place of shelter. Tough break today.

Since I'm playing only the I and the F-fund right now, I may have played it right today! I-fund (MSCI EFA = -.309%) is faring much better than the F-train (-.51%). Hoping for a bounce Monday aboard (not in front of) the F-train. :D
