G Fund

[The_Technician]

Looks like the Crystal ball hit the nail on the head this'a time......suppose I rubbed it right.....wish it would work all the time on the I fund.....but then again who would'a thunk it that the market would love the fact that the Feds admit that corporate profits were going to get hit by inflation pressures, therefore their pausing on rate increases......and yeah the rate pause will help out in the future economic expansion, but that is 6 months or more down the road.....

Look for the next G fund increase right after the holiday.....

Crystal Ball is batting a pretty good record here.....but the next one is going to be a guessing game, yeap, its time for those who have interest in guessing the next increase date to take a shot.....I've got a good idea, how about you????

Well between the two of ya you had a 50% chance of winning, either way, and you won!!!!

It’s easy to predict the penny when it hits Monday. The G - Fund will probably get a penny on September 18th and 25th. If that happens then the question will be; Will the penny arrive on Friday the 29th or Monday the 2nd?

Fair guessing when its on Monday...no fair looking at the calendar....just think you won the contest!!! It was either you or Mr. Howell....both had a 50% chance....it is on Monday, but what does that say about the rate of increase of the fund????

Techy,

Did you initiate a Lemming drive and round up today. You do gooder.

 

[The_Technician]

....it is on Monday, but what does that say about the rate of increase of the fund????

Well looks like Monday is the Day.....who's got the answer for the question though????

I ditto'd Monday a couple of posts agao....its the 25th....

 

[mlk_man]

I'm shootin' for Friday myself.

 

[mlk_man]

Damn, looking at it again, techy might be right....................:nuts:

 

[FUTURESTRADER]

me too, MM, for Friday...I like the 4 and 5 day spreads, and haven't seen back to back 5 day spreads in a while which a monday penny would create. Not a very scientific analysis. Likely 50/50 by virtue of the fact that it hasn't been 5 back to back in a several instances may be more reason for it to fall on monday. Gilligan seemed to think Monday as well. Tech's linear analysis is probably more accurate.

G-fund pays every 6 days (calender not working). If the payment date is on a weekend or holiday the payment is made on the next business day. The count for the six days is still from the calendar day the payment was due. Therefore the penny should be paid this Friday. The only caviot to this formula is a stutter every 9th week which causes the payment to occur on the seventh day not the 6th. This number of weeks to the stutter is decreasing due to increasing interest rates and increasing balance in the G-fund share price, but it is slow. So, I'll blow the crystal ball out of the water and predict the next payment dates of 9/22, 9/28, 10/4, 10/10, and stutter to 10/17. Highlight the payment dates on a calender and underline every sixth day and you will see the pattern clear as day. There really is no mystery.

Bottom line: this Friday

thank you FS!

I had this figured out before but it really wasn't worth my time. What i did was take the current loan rate, whatever that is and divide it by 365 days then each day take that number and add it to the current G fund price, which changes minutely each day, and when it finally goes up to the next penny, that's when you get the penny. The rated changes monthly.

Let's say the rate is 4.5%. Multiply that by the current price of the G (11.56) and then divide that (.5202) by 365 (.001425205) and then add that to the price of the G fund each day and when it goes up another full penny, pay the penny...............

It's just a pain the rear. Plus it's off once in awhile because you don't really know where the G is when you start. Is it 11.56, 11.5600236, 11.560000001...........:blink:
