According to the STA, this week is a pretty bearish week. Tomorrow is especially bearish. Here's tomorrow's historical odds of a positive close:

DJIA: 33%
S&P: 33%
Nasdaq: 29%
R1K: 34%
R2K: 34%

FWIW. :rolleyes:
 
Here's a YTD 1-hour chart of the S&P. Looks like the market wants to play in this box for the time being, with a range of roughly 75 S&P points. The good news is the market *appears* to be thrusting higher from the triple bottom low last Friday. The bad news is that the trend was down before it entered the box, and it may trend down again when it leaves the box. But that remains to be seen. With volatility high, the ECB pondering their own QE, and the SNB decoupling from the Euro, who knows what will happen next. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

It's rare, but I've decided to make a move to the I Fund today. Short term relative analysis charts are showing that it's outperforming both the C and S Funds.

Good luck!
 
I agree I think I'm going to get some I fund today because it has been doing so well.

Be careful. There is always the risk that the EU does NOT implement some sort of QE tomorrow, which could bomb the I Fund. The market is expecting QE, and it may already be priced in.
 
I agree and with things going up today I think you are right about the potential good news being priced in. I wasn't able to make a trade today but the I fund has been doing very well. If it stays up I will buy some I fund soon. Good luck!
 
The I Fund is doing well, but not nearly as well as the C or S Funds. That's mainly due to the weakening of the Euro, and the strengthening of the dollar.

Today is just one day, tho. The intermediate trend still favors the I Fund. Let's see how it plays out over the course of the next week or so.

Also, the I Fund consists of more than just European markets. Japan, the U.K. and France are the top three country's holdings, but there are other non-Euro countries as well. For a full breakdown of countries see this link from iShares.
 
Congrats on getting back into the markets and avoiding getting left behind. I have no idea what the I-Fund will yield, but I'm guessing it will be better than the G-Fund.

Thanks bro. It remains to be seen if it was the right move. Just playin' the odds.
 
If the markets can make a push to the upside today, the S&P MOSI Indicator would likely switch to a "Buy" signal. The MOSI is a lagging indicator (by a few days), but it's been very accurate in showing intermediate trend changes. A positive close could also take us outside of the "box" I posted earlier.
