Playing the I fund

[vectorman]

Japan heading down again. Tomorrow may be another ugly day for the I fund. But usually when I think one thing the opposite happens. We'll see how Japan looks after 12am et tonight when I get off work. Australia is also down the crapper mate. http://www.allstocks.com/markets/World_Charts/world_charts.html

How much more can they take? If they bounce it'll be a good one.

The Nikkei needs to get back above the 200-DMA and I hope soon!!! ( Looks like the 200DMA is now overhead resistance) %&@#%$*&^% Was above average chance that support around 15K would hold. Wrong again....( Down she goes, how far no-one knows!!!!)

THANKS BEN!!!!!

Nikkei getting slammed. This could really start getting ugly.

The Bank of Korea (BOK) just increased its key interest rate 25 bps. Do you recognize a possible coordinated effort here? The CB's are walking a tightrope. Good luck.

Japan market in crash mode. Down over 3%. Panic selling; just about time to pick up some bargains. Those who got out in May, should make a killing this year.

All-in-all, I think Mr. BB has pretty well cinched the person of the year award!..:cheesy: ...And, it's only June!

...and the ECB is next on deck with another rate hike. there's going to be a real good bottom for all who bailed out.

This is such an undervalued fund right now! Wish to have some cash to invest, I just threw in 10K into FSCOX.

You guys might be chasing a downward spiral for awhile. This current situation is still shaking itself out. The primary condition has not changed. I would tread lightly. Good luck.

MMMMMMm.......man that's gotta be hurting some.....-2% so far today....glad I'm out......sorry for you guys who are in...really....

No BS....

If I have the simple arithmetic correct, Europe and Japan combined are down some 9% within the last 24 hrs. As this represents approx. 52% of the weighted I fund, this is HUGE. Be careful trying to time the I Fund because charts won't be reliable should real FEAR set in. Good luck.

Now we can get back to solid investing and accumulation of shares for a wonderful tomorrow no matter how far down the road of life that may be. This is the wash out of the hedges and is healthy - embrace your pain and demonstrate endurance. Snort!

Who was it on this board who said; "Don't feed the bears." We all want to make money the lazy way, find one fund that pays the most and stick with it. But, I think things are starting to change here, the dynamics that made the I-fund so successful are starting to change. What made the international fund work so well for so long? The falling dollar, rising Nikkei, low interest rates, rising gold prices, high trade deficits and deficit spending. I have jumped to the G-fund a couple of times in the last few weeks, but greed makes me feed the bear. When will I listen to my own common sense?

...and for those who had a little foresight to move their TSP to the sidelines, sit in lounge chairs, and drink ice cold Corona's... embrace your ice coolers and demonstrate "continued endurance". PSSSST tink Excuse my beer cap. :nuts:
Don't Feed the Bears! I like that one Brett.
