I may jump in soon.

The news said that the dollar may rise another 5%.

I think this is like jumping into an elevator going down.

 

[Rustynutt]

German GDP report expected to be down about 1%, but with a good first, shouldn't change market much (listening to Bloom in the back ground..), speeker thought that the next economy to contract a bit.

ING and AG Bank already reporting. No housing boom to bust in Europe. Inflation is high, but not out of hand, housing inventory from loss sales should be picked up quickly over there. Even with prices dropping, housing should remain a preimum in most areas. It's too wet to live outdoors.

Strong dollar means inexpensive I shares

????? How much overseas holdings connected to the next U.S ARM reset in 09??? Big question next spring.

Heck, I don't know.

 

[Corvette]

EAFE estimate down-$0.4846

[Rustynutt]

Guess that answers the question "How's the water".
Isn't that a new (recent) low?

Hard to say if it was a bargin. I stayed put, but as someone said earlier, there may be greater risk being out of the fund right now. That's my gut feeling, but don't have the nads to back up it up :embarrest:

Wow on 8/9/08 I posted here that right now the I Fund is set up to fail and will be below $20.00 in a month. There is the +/- FV & add inflation & the rise of the dollar & the foreign markets are doing very bad & the only time it has a chance to rise is when both the United States & the Foreign Markets both have good days which is running about once a week.

The S Fund has really held up well the past 2 days and actually had a gain today in spite of a market down 109.

The rising dollar usually does not hurt the I fund because the Nikkei has been rising to compensate. The problem is the Nikkei has not gone up lately.

It appear Japan is in deep trouble and may soon be officially in a recession.

Today should be a new low for the I fund in 2008.

It's down just a bit right now but I think tomorrow the market might make up some ground. But I might move all over to the G Fund within the nest 2 days this could crack in a second.

REUTERS
Europe shares turn flat after US inflation data

Thu Aug 14, 2008 8:40am EDT
LONDON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - European shares pared gains to trade flat on Thursday after U.S. data showed consumer inflation picked up by more than expected in July, cutting the chances interest rates will remain steady through the end of this year.
By 1235 GMT the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was flat at 1,179.40 points, versus 1,189.55 points just before the data. The index earlier rose by as much as 1.1 percent.
Banks became the largest drag on the index after the consumer inflation data. Royal Bank of Scotland dropped 2.8 percent, Barclays lost 3.4 percent and Banco Santander shed 1.5 percent.

Considering the forking (sticking it to) we got yesterday (lost 3/4% MORE than EFA), I wonder what BGI will do to the I fund today after that loss?

Europe and Asia are way oversold. The US DOLLAR is overbought. Smell a nice run now towards the end of the year. Stick with it. 100% I FUND for me until 12-31-08.
