Monday's S fund - 3.40. I fund -1.90. From memory.I-fund: +1.34%. Oops, forgot to factor in Japan's Nikkei which is still expected to track most of Wall Street's gains. Monday's FV buffer of +1.04% was added to Tuesday's MSCI EAFE of -0.61% (I-fund +0.43%). But due to the falling dollar and late market movement to the upside, a new FV of +0.91% got tacked onto the I-fund's final price (+1.34%). So tomorrow, the I-funders will carry an FV baggage of -0.91% at the get-go.
Ebb, Wouldn't (.99%)+(.91%) = (1.90%) instead of (2.00%) + the .24% price adjustment for a (1.66%) I Fund loss?Official results for today:
C-fund: -1.43%; S-fund: -1.58%; I-fund: -1.76%.
For the I-fund: Tuesday's FV (fair value) baggage of -0.91% was added to Wednesday's MSCI EAFE of -0.99% (loss -2.00%). A bigger-than-usual price adjustment of +0.24% made it to the I-fund's final price. That's what happens when the TSP overlord overshoots the FV. Today, the I-fund is all squared up.
TNA: -5.09% (YTD: +20.17%).
Just trying to call attention to the wonderful world of triple patterns. It can do wonders for the TSP, and yes that includes the I-fund. Intrepid, thanks for dropping by -- this could very well help me pick up a couple hundred more subscribers (the check is in the mail).
Good luck! See you at the end of the year. You know how I like to come from behind.............
And you can keep that I fund.........................
I remember trailing you by 6-8% last year, caught up and beat the S&P 500 index (+13.41%) to boot. I believe no other premium service accomplished that last year. Had I followed the triple patterns 100%, my score (+15.34%) would have been at +18.69% (and doing so without using a single IFT).
The wind left the sails of the I-fund in the first quarter, but it will return in due time. But yeah, it was toxic for a while.
Note: The triple patterns timeline was discovered early last year (2012). Just started to ride the coattails of the triple patterns.
I see 2011's returns are no longer posted, so I guess you are lucky in that regard.
I beat the S fund in 2010 and 2011, what's your point? I remember someone else bragging about beating me in 2011 also. They didn't do so well last year and now don't post much anymore. Please don't go away at the end of this year............
Since you are also bragging about your TNA returns this year, would you like to compare your TNA trades with my TNA/TZA trades from last year as well? Probably not.............
Also, you won't ever see me lose almost 9% in any given month with TSP either. Stop cherry picking man, you've had a good run this year, but so have a lot of other buy and holders. Again, good luck. Let's hope you aren't done making money for the year already, I"m not.
I am pretty sure, I added a note in my last comment. Like I said, the triple patterns timeline was discovered early last year, so don't go by my past record. I don't think your TZA/TNA or TSP trades have a chance against the triple patterns (TNA since Nov. '08: +1,300%). Hate to break it to you, but study after study points to frequent churning of assets resulting in less profits than buy-and-hold (look it up). You're model is simply unsustainable. You'll find that out yourself, sooner or later. Good luck!
You never mentioned what you're TNA trades made last year? Nevermind, we already know......................
