Playing the I fund

[350zCommTech]

350z, hopefully your morning's estimate will bring better news than the EFA's reading. $ seems to be all over the place. I'm still hoping for a strong close in the C&S funds, hopefully creating a FV.

Unfortunately, the dollar is eating up all of the gains in the I fund this morning. A +FV is are only hope.

... plus the $ just shot back up. Currently i don't think that will effect the I fund since the $ is still close to yesterday's close. Still, significant fluctuations.

 

[350zCommTech]

Yeah, I just seen that EFA took a dive. Any early estimates on the I fund yet 350z?

Early Estimate: up .179% or 4 cents.

... wow, all those big green numbers in OSM's, and we can't break change for a nickel!

Thanks 350z.

Anyone have any insight/thoughts on the I fund as far as short and long term? I've been riding it up since the summer and it's been a nice ride but I am starting to think about pulling some off the table. I hate to get caught like I did back in May.

I'm getting out. I don't want to be around for Monday. I think Japan and Europe are due for a pullback, but so is the dollar.

Yes, I am trouble also with this site.

Up .091% or 2 cents.

 

[FundSurfer]

I'd count myself lucky to get that 2 cent. I think we are looking at an afternoon selloff and -FV.

 

[fedgolfer]

... ugh, I get back from lunch and see my "free dinner" is gonna cost me a an arm and a leg and probably yesterday's gains.

What did the Bank of Japan tankan survey say today? There may be a clue in that survey. This type of activity will become common for the next few months. Be right and sit tight.

Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? I'd like to see you make a transfer into the I fund. If you're so bullish, why are you only in the C fund?

As for the report, yes it was bullish for the Nikkei. But what I found strange was when 3Q GDP was revised down from 2% to .8%, their markets didn't have much of a reaction.

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- A slowdown in the U.S. economy will likely drag on global growth next year, economists predict, but Asia and Europe are expected to remain fairly resilient amid signs of healthy consumer demand.

My wife is in the danger zone holding the AEPGX international - she has more courage than I do. My mouth is 2G and 98C - aggressive enough for me. I see trouble coming in Euroland later in 2007 - and we'll move accordingly. You can keep it all for yourself. Sleigh Bells.

 

[fedgolfer]

we're right at that .50% range, -FV?

 

[350zCommTech]

No -FV.

At 12 est., S fund was at .2% and C fund was at .27%. Not enough change here.

The dollar was up just a little after OSM closed.
