Thread: FV or not FV

I'm not too savvy about this FV stuff. I know where the threads are to
read up on the stuff. I'll be doing so very soon. In my humblest opinion;

I understand that the EFA closed unchanged & there was no FV from
yesterday. According to some others, today's FV will lower the I-Fund
share price to 22.26. (or a lose of .10 TSP Cents). However, I believe
Barclays will give back some deficit it owes to the YTD figures. That
deficit currently equals .27 TSP Cents (High) or 1.20%. Don't be surprised
if the I-Fund comes out with a "lesser lose then .10" - "unchanged" or
"with a small gain" based on my estimates. So my best guess would be
between 22.33 - 22.38 per share.

This "Best Guess" is for "entertainment purposes only" and it's always
interesting to see how this all plays out after the 7:30pm TSP update.
Here's to hoping they give us back more. Good Luck.

There's not such a thing as a "Small FV". It either has to be at least 0.5% or is 0.

Correction: Typo

I-Fund = 22.52 off by - 0.05
No FV.

Like wv-girl said in her post, I don't see where the negative FV would come from since I thought we were even on the FV going into today. What do you think?

It was mostly based on the performance of the US markets for the day....there was a wide divergence on % return between the predicted I fund and the US markets and generally, the I fund has been following the US markets in % returns daily of late....

However;Barclay can simply take more of the gains away

Do you or someone else know whether trading an ETF such as EFA is applied the same rules as Barclay applies to the I fund in terms of "Fair value"? Thanks.

bingo!!!
