Playing the I fund

[Wizard]

Was it this?

Why would I believe you had any international anything when you have been G fund since January and haven't moved not once since then?

Why hang on for the 16 hour or longer ride when I can be in/out/short the same fund in less then 2 seconds that does not get magically adjusted whenever someone wants too?

What's the outlook for the "I" fund tomorrow? I noticed the dollar was up .52% this afternoon and have doubts that china can pressure Pyongyang to come off of their nuclear/missile testing. Just thought it may be time to take a break and hit the "G" Penny. Usually when I do something like this we rally, so jump in one and all.:nuts:

Lots of blow ups in the U.S. AHs on bad earning reports; AA, LU, DSCM, NLN, CENX to name a few. Precious metals selling off is not going to help Australia and tech getting trashed in the U.S. today is not going to help Japan.

Yeah, much better to collect a penny every 4-5 days sitting in the G fund for 6 months than to collect 10,20,50,100, times more than that sitting in the other funds since January. Why bother with TSP at all then? Why Wizard Why? And I knew you wouldn't answer the insult question....because there isn't one. Ever been trolling Wizard?

G fund is beating the C and F fund so far this year and by the end of this week will be beating the S fund too. I do not like the I fund because of the magical adjustments.

Where are you getting the other funds are 10,20,50,100xs higher then the G fund from?

Take it from me - Allah be praised - that one is a nefarious troller. There have been instances in the past when I had to be careful when I sat down - he used to be so far up my hershey highway. I mean all you could see was the bottom of his feet - what does that tell you.

Still working on that lower deficit response post there Birchy?

You try to pass off your opinion as facts. Change the wording in paid sites articles and post them here. Then say you can not provide a link.

That be a troll.

Oinker,

I mention the possibility of a budget deficit reduction and a trade deficit reduction as a positive for the future and what do I get? I get a simple spin on the ever increasing consumer debt. As you well know, we need a strong dollar at home and a competitive dollar abroad. An exchange rate that will make American goods more attractive to foreign buyers and that will cause American consumers and firms to choose American made goods and services. Ain't that right, Mate? A strong dollar at home is one that maintains its overall purchasing power in the domestic market - that is, one whose purchasing power is not eroded by domestic inflation. Right, Mate?

And then one must ask, what is the value of Pork Bellies?

Is being reduced does not = possibility.

In reference to the penny every 4-5 days, not the share price.



See, the I fund went up .13 cents today.

If G fund up .01 cent today then the I fund would be up........never mind Wizard.

Dollar may be on its way down this week.

Forex - Dollar rangebound ahead of Bank of Japan meeting, US trade data

SYDNEY (XFN-ASIA) - The US [URL="http://www.advfn.com/p.php?pid=forex"]dollar[/URL] was rangebound against rival currenciesahead of the Bank of Japan's crucial policy meeting and the US trade data thisweek, dealers said. They said both events have the potential to weaken support for the US dollarif the BoJ hikes interest rates and the US trade deficit for May is wider thanexpected, leading to mostly narrow range trading before the announcements. At 9.45 am Sydney (2345 GMT) the US dollar was at 114.27 yen, down from114.28 yen in late New York trade overnight, while the [URL="http://www.advfn.com/p.php?pid=forex"]euro[/URL] was at 1.2744 usd,up from 1.2736 usd. National Australia Bank currency strategists said investors are scramblingto exit short yen positions ahead of the BoJ's interest rate decision due at theend of a two-day meeting on Friday. But they said the speculative community is quite long on the euro and shorton the US dollar overall, so yen buying is weighing on euro cross-trade whichfell to a low of 1.2735 usd overnight from levels above 1.2805 usd. "The 1.2700-1.2730 usd area will likely provide support in the near-term. Alikely wider US trade deficit in May should also cushion the extent of anyfurther pullback in the euro," the NAB currency strategists said. The dollar fell to a one-month low of 113.60 yen overnight as investorspredict the BoJ will raise rates this week for the first time in six years,although the yen eased to 114.25 in later trade. Commonwealth Bank senior economist Michael Workman said in a market notethat the US trade deficit due tomorrow is expected to widen to 65.0 bln usd inMay from 63.4 bln in April, which could put the dollar under pressure. He added retail sales for June due on Friday is also likely to put extrapressure on the greenback should the data provide confirmation of slower growthas higher interest rates and gasoline prices start to bite.
