I fund is going to keep plunging, as the Euro gets hammered. I'm predicting that the C fund will overtake the I fund, probably in the next 2 years.
 
You mean the share-price of the C-fund vs I, right?


That's right. Europe has worse problems than we do. The C fund is very international in exposure, and not limited to Europe. I'd rather have an emerging markets fund. Probably too late for a pure Asia fund either. I think the S&P500, if they keeps frauds like PALM (the original 3COMs spinoff types) out of it, will be a better group of stocks.
 
The I Fund never ceases to amaze me; very tricky little bugger. It appears analysts predictions that the dollar would experience short-term strength were correct; the consensus is that it would last only a few days at best. I noticed the short interest in the Euro/USD increased even more yesterday as speculators are betting against the Euro in favor of the greenback.

I see Asian stocks are up in trading. Expectantly, the markets are showing optimism that the European debt crisis is containable by Germany and France (although I remain skeptical of France providing much assistance in light of their own growing crisis, and history of minimal contribution to European monetary affairs in general).
 
Tuesday EAFE estimate of -$0.0763
plus Tuesday FV (yesterday) of +$0.0000 = -$0.0763
What the heck happened to Corvette? He sure left abruptly earlier this year. He posted almost everyday, then just stopped. Does anyone know him? :worried:

The name is familiar -- but I didn't really know him.

I think the same thing happened to a lot of others Tom (12%,ComTech, Corepuncher, and many more.....) My guess is -- they take the Markets too seriously and it's too bad cause we all lose out.

Sometimes the dynamics shift -- and rifts can happen -- but hopefully we're all beyond that and can let things be cool.

But who knows ??? --- oh yeah -- the shaddow knows ;)
