Either way, it only matters what the MSCI EAFE posts not EFA.

+.037% maybe a penny gain. But when the market tanks this afternoon things could change.

And the dollar spiked up.

NEW YORK - A small aircraft crashed into a high-rise on the Upper East Side, setting off a fire and startling New Yorkers, police said. There were conflicting reports on whether the aircraft was a small plane or a helicopter.

Did I say something about North Korea having to nuke the treasury building to get an FV?

I should have added planes dropping out of the sky. I expect an FV.

I was off by 4 cents today, trying to figure out where I went wrong. Tomorrow looks like a loss, AORD and Nikkei are in the red right now.

Trade deficit hits record $69.9 Billion
You would think that this should cause the dollar to drop. Will the dollar drop or will the opposite happen in a sell the news type action. My bet is we don't see much fireworks since these reports have not been affecting the market as much as I thought they would.

20% of the time FV is applied. About once a week. So far this week nothing. Time running out. Who wants to gamble on it? I'm waiting until closer to deadline to decide.

You're not sweating alone. Unfortunately, if U.S stocks sell off it will be after 2pm in response to the beige book. IF that happens, I don't have a feel for what the dollar will do. In fact, the report could send stocks much higher, then what would the dollar do? Does anyone have an idea of likely dollar moves in response to possible scenarios??

 

[Gilligan]

Ball park estimate: Local Currency is about +0.378%, the dollar is close to even, so the USD is +0.378% for a gain of about 7 cents to around $20.40

Well I waited too long because of work. Can you believe work got in the way. I was going all in but maybe it will turn out ok anyway. We will see.

 

[sugarandspice]

EAFE says +.404%=.08 cent gain

 

[Robo5555]

I'll take the 8 cents......seems like the S fund is on pace for double what we are going to make.....hummmm
