    I think its the opposite. If you look at how the eafe does in local currancy and in dollars, the dollar side looks a lot better. http://www.msci.com/equity/index2.html

    still made a little even with everything in the red except G and S lost 10% in c 19% in I for 29%for 30 allocation 39% green in S for 40 allocation

    will continue to hold because of no choice of mine until I can make a change on friday. If still green in s and red in I I will be 30g 20c 50s If by fat chance c and I are green then I will take a little out of G and add to the one that looks the best at the time. The one that looks like it has the most room. Am I babbling here or does this make sense?
    as it stand I'm currently 30g 20c 40s 10I Staying until something shakes me off one of them. It will be posted :zz :*

    Dakota.........it makes alot of sense..... I have been watching the different moves and I have learned that when you have lost some money in an individual fund the best thing to do is to leave alone and it will come back and you will even make more money since you are not jumping around after a loss.... I have used this system and I have gained all my losses and even gain some money. I understand how nervous we get when we loss money but always come back.....Check out the history (Fund prices for the past 6 months) and you'll see that they always come back and even go higher. I now leave alone until I gain all my losses and make some money and then get out or change funds. Victor
