New to this forum and the whole idea of moving money around just looking for some information.
I transferred all my money out of the I fund Friday morning on the advise of a coworker, just wondering if I made the right move and when I should look at going back in.
Thanks for the helpYou made a good move. I was seriously thinking moving Friday but I kept to my plan which stated no moves until Tuesday (15th) and only if it triggers one on my moves. THis caused me to lose all gains so far this year but will prevent me from losing a bunch more.
Im out of I fund for at least until April 15 and then the model will determine if I am back in or to extend my safety plan a little bit longer. My stop-loss was actually reached on Friday but the restrictions to only trade twice a month limit when i activate trades. This took a lot of restraint and in hindsight I wish i had traded Friday, but I am committed to the plan I researched and instituted for at least another 3 years.
Nobody can predict the future, but past history indicates that there will be a rebound later this year. This comes from the 2007/2008 crash or the 1995 quake in Japan which all showed huge losses for a month or more than a massive rebound. I hope I catch most of the rebound

Who would've thought we'd ever be grateful for ONLY a 2.2% loss in the International Fund? Ouch!
Lets see how much of a minus fair value we get from FRTIB tonight.....

I think it may have something to do with daylight savings time. Everything should be pushed back an hour from where it was.........

Maybe we won't get a big -FV today. They probably are on hold in a call to Bernake to help them calculate an unfair value according to the FED's inflation index...... My guess is the only fair value will be to Barclays.
They haven't posted the share prices yet. Must be taking them a while to figure out the I-Fund
Great minds...

Could have been a lot worse than that. I was in EFU, the inverse fund for the I Fund analog. That was great at the opening bell but the I Fund gained almost the whole day after that and I got stopped out.
I Fund is cheap now. Just wish I knew how much cheaper it was going to get. <this is Ann rolling her eyes> LOLUntil the nuclear thing is over I am not moving back into the I fund. To much potential to go down with the uncertainty right now. Im thinking it will decrease at least another 10% or more in my opinion.
My model states i should wait till around April 14 to look at moving back in, but I may have to stray a little to catch a deal once the nuclear thing is over.
Hey I got 30 years till retirement might as well be a little risky and try my luck.
Right before the Japan catastrophe the Euro was pegged to decline by %1.25 by April 15th and by close to %3.5 by June 15th. This was an average of 5 different banks. I was thinking we would get a short term pop in the I fund before the Euro declined but right now, I think you could safely be out of the I fund until mid May and still be able to get in near the low.
