I've noticed this too. It just started not too long ago and I'm not sure if it's the TSP site or what. However, when I'm researching individual stocks and I want to enter historial data onto a spreadsheet, the numbers stay in there rows fine so I assume it's something they've done to their website.
I just hand enter everything now..................

Final numbers for the I fund are to be up 1.83% or 34 cents because of the decline of the dollar. Unless of course there is a correction.............mlk_man said:
What's really amazing is that overseas markets weren't really up that big today and the EFA is currently sitting at +.74%.........

Ugh. Pretty bad miss today Mlk. I'll keep watching though.
BTW, In our lengthy I fund conversations I had said several times that there was no way to monitor the MSCI EAFE on an intraday basis but I keep on learning when it comes to this fund. Bloomberg posts a result on this index about the same time MSCI does. But for a paltry $1700/month, they will let you see it INTRADAY. The good news is that means it exists. Now I just have to keep digging until I find a way/place to get it for a tad less.

Hey, it was just a theory............and I don't remember you giving me props on Monday when I was dead on.......
....just kidding. I really don't get it. The EFA was up over 1% and the dollar dropped like a rock yesterday. Should of meant a better day than .8% no?
Oh well, I'll keep looking at it but I'm not that concerned. I hate the I fund remember............
Maybe Tom will get us a subscription. It would be a tax write off wouldn't it Tom?
BTW, everybody root for JetBlue for me. I bought it on Monday and have to hold it until at least Thursday because I used unsettled funds. My reasoning was two fold, it's dropped something like 35% so far this year so it's currently, or was on Monday, at about it's all time low. Also, I'm thinking gas may actually go down a bit, which is good for airlines, before we get the summer run up again. I'm not sure how long I'll hold it, but I was hoping to get 10% on it before I sell it. It does scare me though............:nuts:

I wouldn't call Monday's, or today's, estimate dead on, however I would say they were close enough to have value in making pre-noon decisions, IF you could get it to a point where it was fairly reliable. Meanwhile I will keep looking for a place to get intraday quotes on the MSCI EAFE, especially now that we know it exists.
I'd like to try to help you out with Jet Blue with a little preferential treatment, but we know that wouldn't be legal.

Appears like this I fund thingy may be fruitless. Looks like they are taking the price of the dollar at 2:30pm and not 12:00pm EST. This doesn't help us with our noon deadline.
Price of the dollar at noon was 89.85. Price at 2:30pm was 89.70. This is a difference of .17%. Add this to my original calculation of .10% and what do you get? Exactly what the EAFE was up yesterday. I guess this is why they wait until about 3:00pm to post the values. I believe the TSP gave extra yesterday because they owed us from Tues.
My theory may work relatively well when the dollar is pretty flat lined from noon until 2:30pm though.

Sounds a little high to me. Morgan Stanley has the Far East portion down .8 after the dollar.
BTW - Had you read my account before you chose your manner of transportation over to the S and I? I posted 8 minutes before you and said that I was wheelin' over to the G.
