Now up 8 cents. Folks, I'm kicking myself in the ass at the moment.
Looks like I got out on the high.

Investors exiting stock funds are urged to wait
Tumbling global equity markets prompted millions of American investors to switch stock funds for bond portfolios, but financial advisers are urging them to stop hasty sales that might just make a bad situation worse. Panicked by recent relentless selling around the world, U.S. investors pulled $25 billion out of U.S. stock funds and removed another $11 billion from international stock funds, making January one of the worst months for equity mutual funds in years. For safety, they plowed $7.6 billion into bond funds and left billions sitting on the sidelines in cash.

Even more of a reason to exit the (F) since a lot of folks are seeking shelter there!:toung:

I'm happily sitting in the F Fund... with the stock market in a decline, I'm happy I've been here for the past 10 days. When to bail out to the G Fund... well... we'll see. In the meantime, C/S/I Funds... will be a while before they see my face again... at least until spring.

A bump (courtesy of 350Z) for folks in (F) who would like to calculate the current gain or loss:
Example as of now:
.070 + .020*.25 = 0.0225 = .02 current gain
Reminder, if the yields are red you are looking at a gain. If they are green it will be a loss.
Current yields in the 10 and 30 yr are red.

I hope this helps some of you.

I get $.065, at about 11:00 EDT
You know, I think the numbers we are dealing with are points! This is actually $ and Cents. I don't see how we get a percentage when dealing with monetary value. I do basically the same thing then divide it by the value of a penny which is 8 or 9 cents this gives you the rise in value per share.
If you calculate the percentages you end up with a percentage of the value of a share. Ask GGal!

Yes, that is correct. When I posted the formula recently, I made a mistake of adding the % sign. I've already told you guys about that.

Good for you folks who gained the .03 today.
Hey 350Z... you may have to tinker with the (F) calculation some because it showed the (F) as being down.
using stockcharts.com: You have to divide the number by 10 first.
TNX=-.58, use -.058
TYX=-.52, use -.052
Yahoo charts: Don't have to do anything with the numbers. Just remember the 3:00pm est. cutoff time.
TNX=-.058
TYX=-.052
-(-.058 + -.052)*.25 = .0275 cents or 3 cents.
