    Sorry I missed this post...

    The EAFE is traded in various currencies and the I-fund price is generally determined by the outcome of the EAFE in dollars.

    Lets see: Monday's close showed I-fund up .43% or .0958 cents, S-fund up .24% or .0693 cents. The market was down tuesday due to negative news from Bank of Japan causing the Nikkie to drop, EFA showed 59.67 (-.69 cents) about a half hour before close. What does this mean??? I-fund should be lower by ???

    According to the EAFE in dollars, it should be -0.09% - depending on yesterday's fair value and any today. Easy, huh?

    Looks like they are having a tough time coming up with a price for the I-fund today. They are late in reporting.

    I'm starting to see some action in the I-Fund price over the last week. Thinking about doing an inter-fund transfer going from 100% S to 50% each S and I. Any thoughts from any of the esteemed members of this board?

    Well I decided that I would make a bold financial move that would make sense and hopefully pay off in the end. Using all of my market know how and expertise in timing the markets.....I decided to do nothing.
