Here is my .02 on the I fund guys. If the US markets stay green or close to positive today they may gain on the I fund tomorrow my thought is the I fund is going to drop below $15.00 prior to going up. Basically I figure to gain back my losses playing the I but it is all in the timing of the I against the C & S funds. I think tomorrow may be the day.

EAFE closed overseas down 1.683 on dollar coversion. I fund should be down to around 14.85 per share, I think, but you never know for sure.

Exactly why I stayed out of it today, CSI. Tomorrow the I fund may open down and you would be purchasing the close which is why I would wait on it. I have been caught on this enough to realize this and patience may pay off but we can never know for sure. If the market trends down again tomorrow then there is no use moving as I fundwill continue to trend with it. I think the US markets have to move first prior to the international making any type of attempt. This is me just thinking out loud. For those in it I would just set tight for those thinking about jumping in it, wait, but if the I did drop today down to 15.85 like CSI says, we may have missed the play on it.

Tom,

Your strategy was on target today. What % return do you expect using the 60% C and 40% S strategy? Do you have any trailing stop losses? Thanksfor the information.

The I-Fund closed at 15.03, that is down 0.988%.

PR: I'm 65% in I now and wondering whether to bail or not......Rod is heavy in to I fund also. What's your take on this?

I got in 1 day too early. Today wasn't good. I'm sure it was a reaction to Friday's sell-off. But tommorrow is already shaping up nicely with the Nikkei UP .71%. Let's hope she holds. The euro, pound, and yen are still gaining strength against the dollar, so I'm staying put unless they begin to lose strength.

God Bless:^

As long as the euro, pound, and yen remain strong I'm holding.

I learned from last month- a 1 day drop of .02 on the euro or pound OR a 2 day drop of .01 each day, then I'm bailing.

As of this post:

Pound= 1.9044

Euro= 1.3025

YEN= 0.00932

Those are good numbers. Keep an eye on them.

I'll post it in my account thread.:^

Remember, I'm but only a amateur... so if you feel you need to bail before I do, then bail!

Understood. Frankly you have always had a finger on the pulse. No pressure; I do what's best for me when I follow my own thoughts.

I agree I also follow alot of what Rod has to say. But I also know no one is always right so we have to make our own desions Right now I am 40% in the I fund. I really enjoyed today.

Stand on your toes... the Nikkei is in the red, but not too much. I've seen it in the red with the (I)Fund gaining for the day.

Continue to keep an eye on the EPY (euro, pound, yen).

God Bless:^

LOL!You guys remind me when some cowboys thought they would round up the chickens to get a count. After the day was done Ma went out and closed the coop after dark when they were roosting and we counted every one of them the next day.

Rod it looks to me that the stupid I fund is going to take a hit tomorrow. I hope you avoided what I took today but I doubt it. The damn bear is nipping at your heals.
