Playing the I fund

[nnuut]

See there WW already got a couple of bites. Some people have this stuff down to a science others have years of experience, some are loaded with $$ they have made in investments, but they don't tell you this. You never know who you are really dealing with, might be TRUMP, might be a CHUMP like me! I'm sure you will get further help, I'm just not that systematical. Great place this TSP TALK!!:cheesy:

Did we get that negative FV today?

Looks like that's the case, as EAFE was +0.13% on Friday the 13th.

Gilligan is good.

REAL good.

I SWEAR he is working on that time machine that moves forward 8 hours in time, and then back. Another secret government "black ops" program. :blink:

Ahh! Where's the pullback?! I want in. I want in!

I'll be grateful if there is not a big rise. Looks like it is very moderate so far. That's a good sign IMO. Think I'm gonna jump in 100%. I'm only at 40% now. I'll see how it looks in the morning.

 

[James48843]

This morning-

Nikkei 225 up 0.94%
CAC, DAX up slightly.
FSTE up 0.33%

Dollar down against both Euro and Yen.

If it holds- it will be a nice up day for "I".

Hey "I" fund, how about that Dollar? Down!
Dollar index -0.18
Forex - Dollar lower as Empire survey reveals drop in raw materials prices

LONDON (AFX) - The dollar fell across the board as the latest Empire surveyof manufacturing activity in the New York region showed that raw materialsprices fell to their lowest level in more than a year. Though the headline index rose above expectations to 22.9 in October from13.84 in September, the prices paid component dropped 10 points to 30.8,suggesting that inflationary pressures are easing in the wake of the recent fallin energy prices. This could pave the way for the US Federal Reserve to cutinterest rates next year if the economy continues to show signs of slowing. After initially dropping slightly on the strong headline figure, the [URL="http://www.advfn.com/p.php?pid=forex"]euro[/URL]rose to a day high of 1.2534 usd in the wake of the news. The dollar is also paring some of last week's strong gains, with marketplayers looking ahead to key inflation indicators later in the week -- producerprices data tomorrow and CPI inflation numbers on Wednesday. Today's Empiresurvey, however, suggests that these figures could come in on the weak side. "The 10-point drop in the prices paid index in October reflected the declinein energy prices, which will also depress the October CPI and PPI measures to bereported Tuesday and Wednesday," said Mike Carey at CALYON.http://www.advfn.com/news_Forex-Dol...-drop-in-raw-materials-prices_0017263197.html

Will the lower price in crude oil have a positive impact on the PPI and other economic numbers coming out tomorrow? What about the FED members talking, do they want to jaw-bone the markets lower? Thanks in advance for your opinions.

 

[nnuut]

I don't think so the PPI and Core PPI are for Sept! Oil/Gas, everyone knows what will probably happen Thursday when OPEC has their meeting! Fed talk will probably be noneffective, as far as the Market is concerned.

Ball park estimate: Local currency is +0.4%, Dollar is -0.2%, so the USD price should be about +0.6% for a gain of about 12 cents to around $20.56
