G Fund

[pyriel]

As the Johnny come lately to this thread, I bow to the great Carnac. He was correct that the penny will come on Monday. May his crystal ball never grow cloudy.

Techy, PM me your address and I'll buy you lunch.

Carnac rule!!! So when is the next one?

Since the interest rate on the G fund went down from 5% to 4.75% in September, my spreadsheet shows the penny coming on Monday.

Hmmm... This post actually has me worried I may owe Techy lunch. Time will tell. Using a spreadsheet and the interest rate which milkman and you apparently do seems like the best way to go. And to Techy's credit he does have a very well established track record. But, in for a penny in for a pound...I'll stick by my prediction of tonight.

To be fair to FundSurfer, he did have some feelings of misgiving after what ckb21401 posted.

Just don't choke on it.....maybe you need to look in a mirror and ask yourself what purpose was the banter earlier on serving.....get MM and Griffin to look also, they need it too.....

Excuse me while I laugh my ass off!
Maybe it's not so easy as we think,let's get together on thing thing, we've got all this talent I'm sure we can solve this thing, work together; buttheads!

Well if it doesn't cool down with some hugs and laughs, we stop it.

XLACTLY!
I'm sure we can pool our knowledge and solve this thing, if we work together.

Guess what .....this morning the date changed to the 29th...:embarrest: .which means Monday.....I can't explain why it has said that Friday has been the date all week and then it changed one day this morning.....but that what happened.....

I just went and recalculated and its either one.....depending on the window that I calculate on...so its Friday or Monday....

bump

 

[mlk_man]

Hmmm seems to me that the rate of increases are changing to an ever increasing slope.....I've got predictions on the 28th which would make it the 29th on Monday, but after looking at the data I wouldn't put it past it to jump on the 26th.....

So its either Friday or Monday.....

Forgive me Nnuut, but what's to solve ....??? Have I been missing the mark or something..???...I showed you guys how to graphically do it.....its almost as accurate as my calculations.....

All I know is there is alot of banter to discredit certain people here on the board by certain people....maybe you can solve that thing.....that would be real nice....

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

Since the G-fund didn't pay Friday it can only mean one thing - rates are falling.

I watch the current loan interest rate which has recently dropped to 4.75%, to determine the current rate that the G fund is paying.

That means it's paying .013% per day (4.75% / 365).
With the G fund currently 11.56, that means we make .0015 cents a day.
Divide a penny by .0015 and you get 6.65.

That means we should be getting the penny every 6.65 calendar days on average, until the loan rate changes again.

This hasn't been the first time the rates fell this year.....its been more than four times it has fallen as I see it.....all this banter about systems and such just doesn't fly....the G fund fluctuates like water running down a ditch.....you have to bend with it, ride the front of the wave to predict it....that is what I was trying to get you guys to say about the
G fund......it fluctuates.....

LOL, LMAO, ROTFLMAO

Easy Tom, you get discredited for posting actual facts.....

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:

Just like your predictions?

Sorry MM. I didn't realize you posted that info already.

 

[Spaf]

According to my traders log, the G-fund has paid every 6 days, tracking back to Jul 5th. Weekends seemingly throw it off. But if you stay with the six day count it's been true. The G-fund pays on the 23rd, and again on the 29th. [All, subject to the current rates]

Edit, the redirect square will surfice.

and I was going to suggest Tech get another green square

Just to let you know FS, you are going to be off on the rest of your dates....expect the G to pay out on another schedule......I'll give you an "A" for effort, but an "F" for results....sorry... it didn't "make money" (figure of speech-meaning accuracy) for you or anybody else....

Try again maybe....
