    Here's my biggest problem with the I-Fund. How many of us can calculate the close and accurately estimate the gain/lose? Yet it still gets traded, why do we accept the risk when we don't know how to interpret the rules the risk is based on? I know of only one person who was able to do it, I doubt there are 3 people in this forum who can, someone please prove me wrong.

    The tweezer's top didn't pan out.

    Thanks, Khotso. Results for today:

    S&P 500 (C-fund): -0.24%; DWCPF (S-fund): -0.18%; EFA (I-fund): -0.45%.

    Looks like the I-fund is the big loser of the day, but lately we've been seeing a disconnect between the EFA and I-fund, so I always check on MSCI EAFE. Tuesday's MSCI EAFE shows a gain of +0.01% for the I-fund.

    Unofficial results for today:

    S&P 500 (C-fund): +0.13%; DWCPF (S-fund): +0.36%; EFA (I-fund): -0.16%.

    Wednesday's MSCI EAFE shows a loss of -0.59% for the I-fund. The I-fund giveth, and the I-fund taketh away.

    On the brighter side, TNA is up a whopping +36.34% for the year.

    Nikkei is up +19.94% this year so far. The conclusion is the I fund will shine in time.

    Can't short when the bulls are running. Better to just step aside.

    Birch, that must be the Nikkei 225. Nikkei 300, which our I-fund tracks, is doing even better at +20.95%.

    Yep, the I-fund probably won't get a +FV, so the dollar falling more in the afternoon should carry over for Friday's I-fund price.

    Unofficial results for today:

    S&P 500 (C-fund): +0.56%; DWCPF (S-fund): +0.80%; EFA (I-fund): +0.99%.

    Thursday's MSCI EAFE shows a gain of +0.94% for the I-fund. A price adjustment of +0.05% would be great.

    TNA adds another +2.97% (+40.37% for the year).

    Friday's MSCI EAFE shows a gain of +0.84% for the I-fund. Boost (no FVs involved) came from yesterday's dollar-drop carryover, today's dollar falling again, and the surging Nikkei. The I-fund closes the gap on the S-fund by +1%.

    TNA lost -0.43% (up +39.98% for the year).
