I fund for May 08

Japan's economy grew 3.3% in the last quarter, faster than economists estimated, as exports to Asia and emerging markets helped the nation weather the U.S. slowdown. The Nikkei 225 stock average has surged 21% in the past two months. The big slowdown isn't happening. Global demand is strong. Is the I fund finally played out or is there more to go?

There is still global upside here...I think that we will see 26.00 in the I fund. :)

However, the next bubble is in commodities and that bursting will haunt all markets from September 2008 through January 2009, IMHO....:(
 
Note the reason why the haunting is so short is that a dip across commodities will ultimately be a GOOD THING for the economy...only the intial fear, uncertainty, and big-player trauma will cause the quarter-long dip...

Are we talking about the market or the economy? So far this year one has nothing to do with the other. Thank you fed and uncle ben.:nuts:
 
I think you are correct, but I think we will see a correction first.

The question is when. Perhaps when Obama gets the nomination?

Corvette,

So on the nominatin (which at this point is in sight) do you see the I dropping then regaining strength near or after the election? I jumped out last week and she made a run after I left her....wish I would of stayed in but you really can't read Barclays as of yet with the new trading restrictions.

buda
 
Obama will have minimal impact on the markets - afterall he hasn't won anything yet and most likely will not. He's worse than Hillary, Kerry, Gore and Dukakis combined.

Perhaps you are correct.

but,

Take a look at the historical data after Super Tuesday when Obama won. I -fund was near the year lows.

When Obama won North Carolina, I -fund went down again.

I think he is going to win. :worried:

You got out at a good time. I tried to get as much as I could as the I-fund approached the 200 dma.

I am sure you made money. I made money on the trade. Could we have made more? Yes

I think the market will have adjusted before election day.

Historically, the market does better under the Democratic control.
 
EAFE final up $0.14
minus FV Monday (previous) of -$0.19= -$0.05
plus mystery money of $0.05 = $0.00 :blink:
 
G fund 12.45 up .01
F fund 12.21 up .02
C fund 16.22 up .02
S fund 19.60 down .04
I fund 24.66 pass :blink:

FV for Tuesday (previous) = +$0.00
