Where are you getting your percentage? This is where I get mine.

Are you sure you aren't stating the "Far East" percentage? They posted the composite EAFE very late today.
Earlier in the day, the "Far East" could have the top number and it (by itself) was 2.66%.

You are right aout the Far East being 2.66. However, EAFE still shows 4.14%. I usually use the EAFE to confirm my earlier numbers. Today I posted 4.15% at around 1:00 pm. (off by 1). I still expect 4.14% to be the right number. I want those pennies

12%: No FV today.

MSCI is up 4.14% today, which $ 0.91.
My calc for UfV is $ 0.59, therefore I-fund should be up at least $ 0.32 or 1.45%.

I see the I Fund up at least 35+

OK The I Fund is done now the F Fund I see at least 2 cents possibly 3 cents. The Bonds close at 3:00 PM - thoughts the charts are all over the place. Help anyone need better accurate data. THX

What is this 0.75% tailwind? from the US dollar or previous UFV's??

Thanks for all the hard work, guys

The EFA went up 0.75% between 1130 AM ET and 400 PM, but there wasn't a + FV to the I-fund. There is a small $ adjustment, but tomorrow the I-fund should open ~0.75% higher than is reflected by today's share price.

I am not sure where you are looking. The MSCIbarra has EAFE for today as 4.14% as it was rightly pointed out by Gregg

I want those few extra pennies

This is the right link: http://www.mscibarra.com/products/indices/stdindex/performance.html

Good luck to all!

I check again and the 2 sites match. I will recompute the results.
4.14% makes more sense.

Exporters slip in Tokyo, resources prop up Sydney

By V. Phani Kumar, MarketWatch
Last Update: 8:49 PM ET Mar 25, 2008

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Asian markets were mixed Wednesday, with Japanese shares slipping lower as exporters such as Canon Inc. reversed gains from the previous session, while stronger commodity prices propped up resource stocks such as BHP Billiton and Woodside Petroleum in Australia.

In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 Average fell 0.5% to 12,679.21 and the broader Topix index fell 0.8% to 1,232.69.

 

[James48843]

Nikkei 300 is down a percent, while the All Ordinaries are UP a percent.

Genuine mixed market tonight in Japan. We'll have to wait till morning to see what Europe decides to do to figure out what the I will do tomorrow. No clear signal yet- could go either way- although we are due for a breather.

Nikkei down 0.30% :worried:
AORD up 1.22%
FV for Wednesday (previous) = +$0.00

thanks corvette for putting up the estimates

 

[garnertr]

I'm confused then, b/c should you treat this just like a stock? Meaning when the "stock" is in a downward spiral then you'll be able to purchase more shares, then when the market corrects itself and starts going up, then those shares that where purchased at a lower rate will be worth more?

Am I over simplifying this? I have my setup in to CSI funds and was thinking about switching around, but I've been satisfied w/ my outcome thus far...

thanks..

EAFE estimate of up $0.11

[McDuck]

MSCI up 0.52% today. That matchs with the 11 cents.
