[JOVARN]

This could be one reason for a more agressive buy and hold position for the I fund

Full story can be read at

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/09/business/mutfund/09index.html

Active stock fund managers, meanwhile, were able to beat the EAFE index simply by being underweight in Japan.

But times have changed. Because of a long bear market in Japanese equities — along with a change in the way MSCI builds its index — Japanese stocks now make up only about one-quarter of the EAFE index.

What's more, Japanese stocks are staging a comeback. Though Japanese stock funds trailed their foreign counterparts in the first quarter, returning 4.2 percent, they were up more than 42 percent over the last year.

While E.T.F.'s are popular among institutional investors, individuals have begun to embrace them as well, because of low costs and ease of use. Barclay's iShares MSCI EAFE Index fund, for example, is now one of the biggest international portfolios, with $27.5 billion in assets.

Market watchers expect foreign indexing to become even more popular as investors embrace foreign stocks and as more broad-based international indexes are created.

Overnight Asian Markets seem set to close lower mirroring US. Japan, Australia, and Singapore seems especially hard hit.

[Master]

I wouldn't be surprised that the market consolidates early this week, but because of the fundamental economics of the dollar, the I fund is likely to recover the limited loss by late this month. I plan to re-enter the I fund (currently 100% G) later this week.

My Fidelity portafolio (80% of my IRA-TSP total) is still 100% invested, and it has a considerable International presence (60% International exposure).

[Ichiro]

I will probably enter the I fund later this week or early next week. As far as my DODFX, I am still hanging in there since I am up 9% this year.

Glad you're back and posting.

[Ichiro]

Oldcoin,

I am glad that the I fund is not dropping too hard as compared to the 1987 Black Monday crash when the Dow dropped 22% in a single day. At least, this time around we have time to get out and wait til the market creeps up again. I am now adding more money to my dividend reinvestment programs. But, I really wished that the dollar did not drop so fast that it is affecting the foreign stock markets. I still think that the dollar will be around 105 yen by the end of the year.

Economists surveyed by Bloomberg also predict Japan’s central bank will increase interest rates, which are at near zero, for the first time in more than five years as early as July.

“Rising rates worldwide are the biggest reason for the bearishness globally,’’ said Katsunori Hirai, who oversees about $20bn at Tokio Marine Asset Management in Tokyo.

That heightened speculation that overseas investors will reduce their holdings in equities even further. – Bloomberg

by jim jubak

[Machinist Mate]

No matter where the dollar wanders,you will make money in I Fund in the long run.Even though China and Japan dislike each other,the one thing that does not get in the way of them doing business,is something as trivial as that.China is presently full of Japanese engineering firms and this will continue for the next 20 years,then China will ask them to leave.The same applies to South Korea and even Tawain.Theres Gold in those hills men,and the I fund is our tool.

[James48843]

Here is a question-

Currently, Japan's Nikkei, and London's FSTE, combined, make up almost half the value of the "I" fund.

How are the countries selected- i.e. now that China in particular, and Asia in general, are becoming so much more a part of the world economy, how will that be refelcted in the future in an investment vehicle available to TSP holders? How is the percentage from each world exchange brought into the "I" fund selection of stocks?

[James48843]

By the way- Nikkei dow 60points on the first hour of trade monday, but dollar also lower. About a wash right now. (sunday 9 pm edt).

[James48843]

Here is what "I" contained in dec, 2004:

Country Weights
As of 12/31/04
United Kingdom 25.21%
Japan 21.98%
France 9.46%
Germany 7.17%
Switzerland 7.02%
Australia 4.93%
Netherlands 4.88%
Spain 4.21%
Italy 3.56%
Sweden 2.58%
Hong Kong 1.48%
Finland 1.44%
Belgium 1.37%
Ireland 0.89%
Singapore 0.83%
Denmark 0.80%
Norway 0.64%
Greece 0.58%
Austria 0.37%
Portugal 0.37%
New Zealand 0.26%
Unassigned 0.00%

One would think that the monster economies of China and India would get at least a little representation....or are there prohibitions on foreign ownership of stocks that would prevent those two economies from participating?

Tokyo believes Washington DC wants a weaker currency to help curtail our massive trade deficit. Now that's some outside the box thinking. Our government wants a weak knee dollar. :blink: Did I read that right?
