Playing the I fund

Looks like we are going to have an UP day! The NIKKEI closed up a half percent. The FTSE is up about the same half way thru the day even though Vodafone is down 1%. The dollar is falling. Its too early to know for sure but unless the dollar reverses today I think the I-fund could be up 1/2 %.
 
Depends... the ^N225 is up .5 but the ^N300 is only up .08

The dollar is falling and we should see .5 from MSCI EAFE
 
Today I'm going 100% I because of a special case. The foriegn markets are down big at noon and dollar was headed up. This is a double whammy for I-fund -- negative. Also American markets took off at about 10:30 am which is too late for foriegn stocks to react for the day. I expect them to follow the US stocks and rally tommorrow. Admittedly this is a big gamble since this is the I-fund we are talking about. As much as I've followed the I-fund, you'd think I know better but I am actually following the pattern I've seen before. A "fair valuation" could throw things off but we will see. This could be a very short term play.
 
We have to watch Japan this evening to see how well they handle the Fed's comments.

NIKKEI has really helped pull the I Fund up lately along with the weak dollar.
 
MSCI has today's change at -0.612%. That would be a 12 cent loss. I'm not so happy about my jump into I-fund right now.

$19.12 That's before any FV adjustment. The Dollar was stronger today, lets see what happens tonight in Japan.
