To answer the closing paragraph 4 questions; No, No, Yes, & Yes.
Neat take on things. Interesting read... to say the least.

Conspiracy Theories and the Global Stock Market Melt-down
by Gary Dorsch

Do you believe in conspiracy theories? Sometimes they are difficult to refute. Such was the case last week, just after the Euro had soared towards a 12-month high of $1.30, and the British pound, itself ridden with large trade and budget deficits, stood mighty tall at $1.90, with traders setting their sights for $2 for the pound. The US dollar lost 7% in just six weeks against America's main trading partners, and was 28% lower since January 2002, to stand just 1% above its 1995 low.

Brazil was down over 1200 points today. That is more then the DOW has moved in the last 37 months in one direction. Wow.

I'm now in 100%.

This is going to get really interesting.

No. It is not. Thinking like that killed people in 2000. "It is only a lose when I sell" - forced a lot of people to work a lot more years then they had too.

If I read that chart correctly, we've got another 4% to 5% drop until we hit the next level of resistance at the 200 day moving average.

That is a lot of additonal downside potential for the "I" fund.

I'm happy I'm in "G" right now.

What do you see in this chart?

(No, this isn't an ink-blot test- but maybe it should be....)

I'd call it 6% to the 200. That it the problem when you have a skyrocketing chart. There isn't a lot of resistance points.

Yes it is. TO ME

This is my "play" account, babee.

My real retirement $$$ is elsewhere.

Peace

GREAT... I could use some kindling.

Japan tanked last night, but Europe looks good this morning, as well as the dollar down against the Euro and Yen.

mlk_man · May 23, 2006

Could the I fund be up 2.34% today? Sure hope so. Of course I should of stayed 100% in it and not just 50%..............

ATCJeff · May 23, 2006

EAFE up 1.491% today

mlk_man · May 23, 2006

Poop, hope that was an FV adjustment and they give us some more tomorrow. Wheels?

FundSurfer · May 23, 2006

I'm figuring the late day sell-off will bleed over to foriegn markets tommorrow. Japan is already really oversold so maybe it will turn us around but I wouldn't bet on it. It should be a tough call tommorrow.

It was my plan to lay low for a while but since "he" has been suspended for a couple of days I guess it's safe to answer your question. As of yesterday the I fund was priced pretty close to where it was suppose to be. If anything the I fund is still overpriced by a few cents and might have to be shaved off of your gains for the day. Furthermore, the dollar rallied at the end of the day, combined with the U.S. markets tanking at the close, would cause any FV's to go against you. Sorry. Don't shoot the messenger.

+.29 cents today. That seems about right with 1.491%

Agreed. I would say that the recent FV's have been corrected and we are now priced appropriately.

The chasm between the I-Fund and the other funds will continue to widen on rises and declines. Black box driven volitility will make trading between these funds obsolete. Choose your poison, tie a knot, and hang on. To do otherwise could get you cut...coming and going.
