I fund for June 08

[Corvette]

Why is there a +FV? All the US markets closed at below the level at noonish

Althought the market dropped later in the day, the dollar also dropped about 0.55% late in the day to warrant a FV.

The late dollar drop was enought for the FV.

G fund 12.5000 push
F fund 12.0200 push
C fund 15.0600 up .0900
S fund 18.8700 up .1400
I fund 22.4100 up .2500

FV for Thursday (previous) = -$0.1500

Nikkei down 0.05% :worried:
AORD down 1.09% :worried:


FV for Thursday (previous) = -$0.1500

 

[Corvette]

EAFE estimate down -$0.15
minus FV Thursday (previous) of = -$0.1500 = -$0.3000
minus FV Thursday (guess) of = -$0.13 = -$0.4300

dollar down 0.51%

minus FV Thursday (previous) of = -$0.1500 = -$0.3000
minus FV Thursday (guess) of = -$0.13 = -$0.4300

dollar down 0.51%

question..I could you guess-13 FV at this stage? The cut-off is noon and my estimate is -.30 total. Also do not be surprised to see a +fv instead.

I just use the EAFE estimate and the S&P500 current price.

Do you think the market will go up today for a +FV? I hope not. I just bought more I-fund shares. bargain hunting.

TSPGO also expects a +FV today.

Note: Expecting +FV today. S&P only 12 points away from 1280. Expecting hitting 1280 followed by strong rebound.

How do you 'BUY MORE I FUND SHARES'? I am assuming that you have only made one ITF this month or is this another account outside of the Gestapo TSP? Just curious, EA

Simply put, If he had 20% in the (I) Fund. He added to his position by
doing an IFT. That in turn, buys more shares at todays closing price.
(Cheaper then yesterdays closing price).

I think he wants to know how he did it if he already used his 2 IFT's for June...

Just for a warm fuzzy, linked to the Yahoo charts from the bottom of the tsptalk page and clicked 5 year average (I and C). Things don't look that bad from this perspective (not that I was invested much then).

How does Eric sing that song, "Always look on the brighter side of life", while nailed to a cross .

EAFE final down -$0.15
minus FV Thursday (previous) of = -$0.1500 = -$0.3000
minus FV Thursday (guess) of = -$0.25 = -$0.5500 :worried:



-FV should be more, but it seems that it is always less when there are 2 FV adjustments in one day

Today was my second IFT of the month.

I moved money from the G-fund.

Correct, I just find it hard to believe that someone would not have had 2 IFTs in this wobbly market already!!!!! (Patience, patience...)... EA

Always seems that way, we'll wait and see.

Keep up the great status reports.....You are a scholar and a gentleman!

That is good, showed some real restraint during this volatile month......So you will start tomorrow "In the green" on paper as the -FV is reversed!

I hope you are correct. The strategic oil reserves stops acceptance of 76,000 barrels a day on 1-July. That is not much to lower oil prices, but I hope something gets the market going.
