I've seen the indictor be red and the I Fund still go up.

GOT THAT RIGHT! 1 Feb is a classic example with the (I) gaining 13 cents while the indicators were red.

Is it the same for the other funds/indicators? If not, then all this mumbo jumbo we've been reading about the i fund predictions are basically not reliable...:s

pyriel,

I Fund is affected by two things. Currency exchange and overseas market performance. Overseas market yesterday kicked ass but, the USD kicked bigger ass. Dollar canceled out any overseas gains.

I fund indicator is the toughest to nail down. I've seen the indicator be up or down and the share price post the oppisite.

Never can remember if its effect or affect.

Effected?

Affect

You get the point. I hope.

pyriel The market is very sensitive, so are the indicators. The money is there and so are the moving averages. Do we go long, or do we go short? Sell the weakness; buy the strength. The December rally was followed by the January plunge. The last week in December showed a flat period of several days. So, If we have a flat period of several days in Feburary, your guess, is as good as mine!

Rgds, and be careful! Spaf

The only other thing worth noting today was the action of the U.S. dollar. It was up big yesterday breaking above the recent consolidation and above the first resistance area.

I got this from Tom's most recent post. If the dollar went up so big today, then why did the I fund only go down 2 cents? However, since I consider everyones opinion and majority is sidelining the i fund, I will probably be out of there as soon as I get a chance. Currently 50c25s25i.

The EAFE was up .65% in foreign currency and down .17% in U.S. dollars. The rising dollar hadan .82% effect on the I fund. When the dollar is rising, the I fund is running in peanut butter.

Ifund is a bargain....that would be the only one Iwould even think about putting a penny in right now...

IMF, France and Germany are saying they are going to dump their gold holdings...while central banks are changing their dollars into Euros (the soon to be new world currency).

Welcome, nutcase!

I Fund can be tracked with $EFV, ^EFV, or EFA if EFV is not available.

I listened to a conf call...they would not talk about inventories...or future orders...not sure what that means. But if they can not hit only .22s a share something is wrong...they pay no dividend and have not done stock buy backs in some time (from what I understand)...I shorted CSCO and it simply does not go down anymore...it retests it 52 week low just about every week.

But .22 a share is a pretty low bar, IMHO. Not even sure why it is a market mover anymore...it is not 2000 anymore, is it?

hahaahahaa...oh man, no matter where I go....ppl always have to put ROLO in all caps like that. They drag out the O's when they say it, too, and it gets more volume than the other words in the sentence. Whut is UP wit dat?

Tired of me? No. In fact, I got fan mail a little while ago.

Anyway, I am in tech and therefore know enough to take neither a short nor long position in Cisco. In fact, I have some extra older Cisco equipment sitting behind me I need to hock...

OK, Oracle-Of-Strap-Ons, which stocks do you suggest I long/short today? Would you recommend shorting ETFs as a reverse of going long on TSP index funds?
