I Fund, November

[350zCommTech]

Alright, I'm a newbie here...so be nice. I recently began playing the I fund after realizing I lost a good chunk the first two weeks in October. I'm doing my best trying to understand the news and what you guys post on here, however I still feel like I'm walking blindfolded. Can you please (in layman's terms) help me understand what's happening here. I'm still trying to understand how the FV works & when we're at an advantage/disadvantage to it. Can you translate what you've posted here? Please excuse my stupidity, but I need help.

Since corvette is not here, I'll help you out.

Enjoy.

As far as the Fv goes...

If you are not changing your allocations the FV does not effect you at all. However, if you make an IFT on a day there is a FV, the FV will effect the buy/sell price of the I fund shares. When buying you want a -FV, when selling you want a +FV.

Before we had limits on our IFT's, many on this board spent considerable time trying to predict FV's. Now that we have limits, I only give it a small consideration on deciding to make an IFT. Though since August I have avoided the I fund completely because of the rising dollar.

That is actually the first post of the link I posted. It's cool.


Folks that have been around here for a while, know that I AM the FV indicator. When ever I jump into the I fund, there will be +FV that day. And ofcourse, when ever I jump out of the I fund, there will be a -FV that day. You can take that to the bank.:nuts:
