Playing the I fund

[James48843]

Yahoo FTSE chart off again.

Seems to be working now. FSTE up .54% now as of 8:34 am eastern time.

Nikkei 300 was down .29%. But most of the rest of the world was about even. Looks like the dollar is what is affecting the price, and now "I" is sitting about a nickle down so far.

Cnn has the Ftse down 11 points.

I guess my question should be is it two different Ftse's?

It's still not workiing. Yahoo's FTSE quote is taking its previous closing price from April 19 (Thursday) when it should be April 20 (Friday). Deduct -.72% from the +.54%, so FTSE should be down -.18%.

Maybe a good day to add to I fund?

Talking heads say dollar will bounce this week and then head back down. Thats a pretty good headwind for the I fund this week if it happens that way.

Yep- you are right. I just found the FSTE 100 is down .22% over on the NASDAQ website.

I wonder why Yahoo keeps getting it wrong. This is about the third time in two weeks they have had problems with index ticker numbers.

The dollar bounce is the main reason we're down. Will it continue?

Japan down-- but dollar is down vs yen. Lets hope for good earning from Japanese companies tonight.

"The BoE's full attention is focused on regaining control over price pressures and inflation expectations, which will result in higher interest rates and a potential overshoot in the months ahead".

http://www.bankcreditanalyst.com 4/27/07 BoE Fears Inflation Expectations Are Becoming Unanchored.

A recent survey of wealthy American investors found that more than half believe U.S. markets are riskier than international markets. That's a reversal of traditional thinking - and a sign that investors may be taking potential problems in overseas markets too lightly. Given that foreign markets have been outpacing U.S. stocks for the past five years, now isn't the time to get complacent. Overseas stocks remain volatile and investors can't afford to be caught making big bets, perhaps inadvertently, on what might turn out to be risky international holdings.

"The euro versus Japanese yen has gained more than 80% since bottoming in late 2000, an impressive run which is set to continue".

Good start for the I fund. Japan up 1%, playing catch-up. Will it follow through to EU? I fund broke out Friday. Will it continue up? Hoping so, for at least one more day.

Nikkei is firing on all cylinders.





It's all good.
