Playing the I fund

[350zCommTech]

Looks like FV may be in the cards.........

Yup, looks like a +FV of 10 cents. The dollar is only down .143 or +3 cents. Either way, the I fund looks good for tomorrow. Our 12 est deadline sucks.

Looks like the market came back down a little. The S fund is barely above .5% and the C fund finished at .44%. So, it's very close.

No.

You are asking about the EFA. The EFA is not the I fund. Check out this link for clarification:

Mr

Mr 350Z that link won't work for me when I click on it.
That EFA (I fund) graph at bottom of this page is not what you use?

 

[Spaf]

Too many http://'s. I'll edit one out. The link should work.

No, not for day to day trading. Somedays it will be close but most of the time it is off.

Spaf,

thanks for fixing the link.

Another 9 cent ice-beatin' to start the week off feels just wonderful. It's also comforting to know you're amongst other sound investors.

Thanks Fivetears, your pain is my pain. Last Friday and this Monday, we caught the dollar flat-footed. It wasn't prepared to go down, and didn't know it was supposed to go down. Tuesday, the dollar finally came to its senses, cracked and finally ceded its position. Hopefully, by Wednesday, our patience, persistence and perseverance can finally pay off.

It looks like we weren't the only ones getting a buy signal this morning. Japan is up 1.5% for no reason and the dollar is going in the toilet against the Euro and the Pound. Should be a good day in the I fund tomorrow. My luck, I picked the S fund because I didn't think USM was going to rebound this afternoon.

Solid green in Japan, CAC, DAX, FSTE.


Big up day in the "I" today.

Rats. I bailed yesteday.

Oh well. You win a few, you miss a few.

 

[Brett]

There was quite a few of us I-funders who bailed this week. With me; it's more of a gut feeling than anything else that there is a coming pause or pullback in the next few days.

Was there a FV yesterday or no?

Was there a FV yesterday or no?

No,

MSCI EAFE -.224; I-Fund -.227

One to watch today-

Ticker symbol: FXI

If you want to make a pure China play, that is an EFT for it.

Early Estimate: up .829% or 18 cents.

It's a silent but real bull market.

350, given the wide swings you had to deal with yesterday, great! Job.
