Anybody have a feel for the F-fund lately- down $0.20 in a month. Is it about to turn around?? Stocks heading south for a break/rest ?? I'm thinking of trying F-fund for 1 IFT, then stocks after stock rest for 2 IFT, then ease out as they recover. Too easy in theory...

Good to see EFA spanking the monkey today. Nice dip in the dollar too

It is a good thing too because my sticky pants just about lost all their sticky. Long term I see nothing changed. When the banks start lending the billions of dollars they are sitting on inflation will surge as never seen before. Keep watching the price of things you buy.

I did enjoy investing in the those six month corporate unit trusts in the 1970s at about 20 percent but I would not like to do it again. I am still keeping my hopes up that Santa will one year deliver a precious metals fund and a real estate fund before the dollar loses all of its value.

It's 915 PM ET and they haven't posted today's shares prices on tsp.gov NOR on the phone message board.

What's taking so long?

Monday EAFE final of +$0.3544

plus mystery money of +$0.0013 = +$0.3557 final

Wednesday EAFE estimate of -$0.1118
plus Wednesday FV (previous day) of +$0.0000 = -$0.1118

 

[McDuck]

Wednesday EAFE estimate of -$0.1118
plus Wednesday FV (previous day) of +$0.0000 = -$0.1118

Why did it go down today?
It seems like it should have gone up today 0.4%.
It did go down a penny today.
Also starting today, I can't get the MSCI data. When I go to the same page that I always have, the terms page repeatedly shows up when I click on the agree button. Are others having this problem?

 

[JTH]

I don't have all the details, but the dollar did rally early last night.

 

[FAB1]

where do you get the MSCI data? And how do you figure what the TSP I fund's daily returns are? Want to be able to figure this myself, thanks!

Wednesday EAFE final of -$0.0076

This is all Greek to me - can someone explain how the I fund returns are calcuated?
