Anyone know why the MSCI was up 0.67% today but the I fund was only up a penny?

Best wishes

Stronger dollar or "fair valuation"? I asked myself the same question.

Look at the MSCI website for today

http://www.msci.com/equity/index2.html

The value of the MSCI EAFE was up only 0.072% in dollar terms on 12/28/04 which equates to about 1.1 cent per share (assuming15.41 on 12/27/04).

Remember that the I fund is highly dependent on how well these foreign stocks perform AND the value of the dollar too.
