I fund for April 08

[Corvette]

I could be wrong, but I don't think the I Fund includes China.

yes and no.

Hong Kong (Hang Seng) is in the I-fund. The percentage is small about 1.6% of the entire fund.

The Shanghai Composite is not included in the I-fund.

Most of the time when there is news about China, it is about the Shanghai Composite.

Shanghai is up 7.29% right now, but there is no direct impact to the I-fund.

Sure I thought hey do an IFT to the I Fund could have a great day today. Well I just saw the futures it's 4:40 AM EST don't look good. Stupid move on my part - sorry for the rant............:worried:

Based on the TSP Lookup the I fund is down about 33 cents. Is this the type of day that Barclays would give a +FV and screw everyone jumping in to the (what they believe) bottom of the I fund? So my question would be is it be better than 50% safe to advise a friend of mine that this is a good point to jump into the from a 50G/F50 split.

GO SPURS GO!!

I expect the I fund will do very well today. The dollar is strong, but Asian and European markets are doing well.

Wow its the end of April. Does anyone have an explanation on why the I fund is so low as compared to the beginning of October 2007?

I would think that the I fund would be higher as the dollar continues to fall. Is the TSP really giving us a fair share of the value of this fund, or is there some funny business going on?

Anyone, just let me know. I do not trust the TSP anymore, nor the BOD's for our money there.:suspicious:

see this link for explanation. Ripped off is what.

For starters, check the Nikkei. Nikkei is down since October 2007

You want the dollar to go up. The Nikkei should then go up.

Dollar down and Nikkei up would be nice, but Nikkei appears to rise when dollar rises right now.
