MSCI EAFE (0.732%)@ 14:20 EST:blink:

Do either the parentheses or the red color mean that the MSCI index was NEGATIVE?? If not and you mean the index was up, EFA as reported by YAHOO was DOWN about 0.8% at that time. I have a lot of trouble understanding this index and am really just asking.

 

[nnuut]

() is always = (loss) and sometimes red indicates a loss, MSCI uses both. No problem

Australia down 1.50%. Weakness on the international front. Europe follows, dollar rises, EAFE slides. This won't last. Long winded speaches, one-sided data, and overly optimistic promises will bolster the dollar only so long.

From 1775 to 2000 the USA has borrowed some 1.01 trillion dollars.
From 2000 to 2006 GW Bush has borrowed another 1.05 trillion dollars.

Since 1997 the amount of paper currency has doubled.
Keep printing, soon ink will be too costly.

Big Ben, do you see the US markets treading water?
Give it another hike and watch them fall.

Dollar is continuing to fall, foreign markets are up....another great day for the I is in the making. I will probably hang in until Monday night. Anticipating the Japanesse bulls to come out the gate Monday morning at full speed.

MSCI just posted a + 0.634% gain

We should get back most of yesterday loss.

 

[Eagle_Addict]

Loving it, loving it!!!!!!

Just a few more days like this to get the EFA up to 70.00...........I do believe that the Japanese markets are closed tomorrow, correct???

With a 3 day closure due to Holidays, does anyone think that Monday may start with a bang?!?!?!?!? (Good or bad???).....

EA

Come monday it'll be all right. Planing on a 100% I fund move before that bull leaves on monday. I dont want to miss out on all that pent-up Japanese buying frenzy. The yen will be out with a bang.

 

[sugarandspice]

I think I will be moving back in on Monday as well, but I'm waiting to see what happens tonight in the overseas markets.

 

[sugarandspice]

Sugar, they are talking about equity markets of foreign countries. Not who has the better deal on Preparation H,... Ralph's Safeway, or Krogers.

Well, with the "I" up 0.83%,

and

the dollar getting hammered again today at 0.7872 Euros to the dollar, (just look at that dollar/euro chart at:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDEUR=X&t=3m&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=


and getting hammered against the Pound (remember, 25% of "I" is in the UK) \
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDGBP=X&t=5d

the the dollar is flat and down against the Yen (another 25% of "I" is in Japan)
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDJPY=X&t=5d


then the "I" fund should post another healthy gain tonight in share price.

I can't wait to see.

I wonder how much longer this can last...

Moday should be a banner day for the Nikkei. After five consecutive days closed and some US and European gains, its looking good.

Look at the RSI starting to rise from an extremely oversold condition. The Nikkei may have enough momentum to top 360-365.

 

[sugarandspice]

Got it all back! Up to $20.49 again

 

[Spartan]

Not looking good for friday.

Monday will probably be a banner day, but as it has some times in the past the FV, may not take place until Tuesday.

 

[LA_Guy]

Look like I fund will have another big day today. Enjoy the ride all you I fund surfers.

 

[FundSurfer]

Dollar falling like a rock early. Foriegn up pretty good so far. I wish I was invested. If I was, I'd be thinking hard about stepping aside today.

 

[LA_Guy]

I don't mind taking profit off the table but I can feel that Japanese bull is jumping, kicking and anxious to get out of that bullpen on Monday.
