I fund for August 08

[Guest2]

Could this be a day when the I Fund gains ???

Maybe, but not as much as you would like ! :suspicious:

The I fund sure is looking tempting but I don't have enough lead in my shorts to make my first move this month. Dave

I have that same problem but for off topic reasons ! :nuts:
I'm not convinced the (I) Fund will show the type of
results you may be looking for. You might want to save
those bullets for the next ride up in the (C) or (S). IMHO

A bit ?

Nikkei down close to 2.68% in early trading

AORD down close to 1.50% in early trading

If that holds and the US Markets drop today is the day the I Fund drops below $20.

Sorry for the bad news but it don't look good at all for the I Fund right now.

I can't take this any longer. Unless something changes like aliens land in Hootersville, I'm taking a morning dip before 8am PST. Not a splash, just a dip.

Whats to look for TSP wise? S&P gives the I a +FV?

Thanks for your long hours and time Corvette!

Watch the dollar hype. ECB lowering rates to fuel the economy and the US raising rates to fight inflation.

no rate hike here until December - after the election. Mortgage rates already high despite cuts that helped financials who didn't pass them on to borrowers, and too much fear a rate hike now will give banks incentive to raise lending rates and crash everything that's teetering on the edge. JMO.:nuts:

i think now's good time to go all in I. almost always after the olympic games, the market tends to see large gains. the I fund lost almost 19% in 2008. The dollar's very strong now and will be stronger after the fed raises the rate, but I think the I fund is too cheap to pass

Good Luck (Sincerely) with that, BUT, I couldn't disagree more ! :worried:

You do realize that the election has nothing to do with the rise or reductions in the Federal Funds rate. History shows that the Governors of the Federal Reserve do not consider the ramifications of lowering or raising rates prior to the election.

2008 rates were falling then a slight increase
2004 rates were rising
2000 rates were rising
1996 rates were unchanged (minus January)
1992 rates were falling
1988 rates were rising
1984 rates were rising (a increase in early Nov)

As you can see almost every year rates were either rising or falling during the preceding months up to the election in November.

That's right! Politics don't enter into Federal Reserve decisions at all!
