Playing the I fund

[FUTURESTRADER]

Early Estimate: down .282% or 7 cents.

EFA is not the I fund.

yep...eafe is the real deal...I'm getting a vacilating 'previous days close' of 72.59 and 74.12....ishares is the problem...72.49 is the real number, effecting a +.16% @ current 72.70

That's the frustrating thing. Nobody seem to track the actual index (I have the same problem with the F Fund.) The problem with tracking EFA and AGG is that they are traded like stocks, so their price is not reflective of what the value of the index is, it is simply what the next person in line is willing to pay for it.

Oh, good. At least I'm getting in at a slightly lower price.

Down .164% or 4 cents.

we still down?

 

[350zCommTech]

we still down?

Yes, the I fund closed down 4 cents, but a little bit more negative on the S&P and we might see a -FV of 10 for total of -14.

Nikkei edges lower on profit taking
HONG KONG - Asia stocks were mixed early Friday and gains were capped by thin trading, with Japan's Nikkei 225 Index easing back as investors took profits on recent blue-chip gainers such as Song Corp. and Toshiba Corp.

Waiting for the break of day.
Searching for something to say.
Flashing lights against the sky.
Giving up I close my eyes.
Sitting cross-legged on the floor.
Twenty-five or six to four.

...which also happens to be the I-Fund YTD return; 25.64%
It's an omen.
