[350zCommTech]

Early Estimate: Down .876% or -20 cents, plus yesterday's 16 FV correction = -4 cents total.

Under WHAT conditions would the payback be postponed until Monday??

Good question... 350?

My guess is it happens when they really want to screw with the TSP traders (or the guy responsible takes a sick day. ).

If today's action in the dollar or the USM after noon were significant. In other words, it's not so much that they postpone the correction, but rather, it's another FV. If all is calm after noon, then I would expect the correction today.

A big USM sell-off, or another huge rise in the dollar, in the afternoon, causing Barclays to do another -FV. If that happens, it would be a winfall, in the I fund on Monday.

Dollar rising steadily.

If anyone is confused, we are saying the same thing here.

Down .971% or -22 cents, plus 16 cents FV correction = -6 cents total.

Several players moving into the market may end up guaranteeing the FV correction gets applied today. I think to see the correction get delayed you'd need to also see some people getting out today. I'm getting in but I expect the correction to happen this evening. I'd be thrilled if they waited but I usually get caught on the wrong side of an FV not the right.

No +FV yet. If they correct yesterday's FV, the I fund should see a -7 cents loss tonight.

Okay, what's the plan? Are we looking for a big gain Monday, and jumping out by noon to reap it?

I'll predict you will see $21.75 before you see $22.75.

 

[nnuut]

I don't know but every down sense Nov. has lasted 3 or 4 days, I doubt an up on Monday. Nothing much to drive the market Monday, really!

 

[Rod]

I'm thinking IN Monday... which I already am, then perhaps out T&W while Uncle Ben has his fun.
