Thanks Chris, but no thanks. Not enough options in our TSP funds. Better off starting one yourself.

Good luck,

Here's an interesting chart:

Although many people have made a few dollars in the market the past few years, those dollars aren't worth as much...............

Rollin' back to 100% G. I feel the big boys are settin' us up. I also keep getting this feeling that the G will pay out early. Probably just need a cold shower.............

This market is worn out and tired. This action is nothing more than a bear flag setup. Great opportunity to buy puts or enter short on stocks about to set up. Of course, with TSP, it is either G or F to avoid bear moves. And F has left the building - interest rates rising.

I'm wit cha. The good thing is that unless I'm majorly mistaken, and it IS the I fund, I think the I fund should be up about 1.1% today........

Maybe even 1.2%.

My guesstimate is you will get back what the I fund took away yesterday in the I fund.

I'm going for a better day tomorrow in the I fund

 

[mlk_man]

Good luck with that!

With the USD up about a quarter point, I think the I fund will be pretty flat, +/- penny.

 

[mlk_man]

Bite your tongue!!!!! Okay, okay, how about we take .28% off of 1.1% and call it about .8%? Fair enough?

Wait, let me call Greg's auntie....................

Good one!

The Far East portion of the EAFE is up over 2% today. Of course that doesn't really help us predict the EAFE for the day. I hope it is nice and high though, since my 20% I needs to support my 40% C and 40% S which is breaking down pretty badly right now.

CNN breaking news:

Dubai-owned company has decided to transfer fully the U.S. operation of P&O ports in North America to a U.S. entity, according to Sen. John Warner.

Should have stuck with your first estimate. MSCI = 1.151%

Maybe even 1.2%.

BTW, there is no big secret about how I came to this conclusion. I've posted somewhere before about how I came to this number. If I can find it I'll provide a link. I'm sure this is what Greg's aunt has been following.........:blink:


If the market is down today, I'm considering playing for a bounce on Monday. I'll certainly be out for Tuesday because I think a lot of people are eye-balling those retail sales numbers coming out then. The forecast isn't pretty. I should probably just stay in the G fund to make sure I get the penny, but what fun is that..............


Happy returns,

Vanna will let you buy a vowel though...........

Couldn't find the post. Basically I look at the EFA from noon one day to noon the next day to see what I think the I fund may end up. At noon yesterday it sat at 62.29. Let's see where it sits at noon today.

SP, the dollar index from noon on Wed to noon on Thurs was pretty flat. This may be why there was no dollar adjustment yesterday. It sat about 90.65 at noon yesterday. Currently I have it being up about .22% from that time.

[mlk_man]

As of 11:30am today, I have the I fund being up .32% and the dollar being up .38%.

Does this mean the I fund will be up .32% or do we subtract what the dollar is up and call it down -.06%?

Staying 100% G regardless.

Just out of curiosity, how did you come up with the I fund being up .32% in local currency?
