    I was just going to point out that the I Fund is up 5%+ just this week and it hasn't even begun to rev its engines. The Barclay's boys are going to have to do a lot of "fair value adjusting" this year to keep the lid on this one.

    Cool Risk vs Reward

    Hmm, maybe I just don't get it, I am quite comfortable with the I fund and wouldn't even think about the other funds until they seriously corrected down and even then I would be very hesitant.

    Default The oasis is getting crowded

    An I fund aficionado feels the I fund has initiated a new trend, more reminiscent of the April'03 - Feb'04 period. The I fund went up 42% from Apri to December 2003. There comes a time when reality needs to allow catch up of the fundamentals - I'm holding my international position but have an open eye to any transitions that may be a harbinger of future weakness - to soon to run yet. But I get nervous with so many people pushing through the door.

    Thumbs up I Fund

    European and Asian markets(except the Nikkei, holiday) up tonight along with the Japanese Yen being up against the Dollar. Unless these markets reverse and the Dollar rallies in a significant way against the Euro throughout today to offset last nights gains, the I fund should do well today.
