I think Barclays goofed on the FV. I think they thought that the Nikkei and FTSE would be up a lot today. So far the FTSE is up about 2.4%, but the Nikkei is closed.

Right now it looks like we will give back a lot of the gains from the FV.

Tuesday EAFE estimate of +$0.1104
minus Tuesday FV (previous day) of -$0.3600 = -$0.2496

dollar up 0.19% = 83.84

Europe was up about 1.5%

Minus .06 for the day ? Again, why do I mess with the "I" ? Biggest Risk vs Biggest Reward ? Barclays can't be trusted in my opinion.

Wow! Where did that +$0.20 FV come from?

The Nikkei is still closed for Wednesday. The dollar was up after the close of the EAFE.

The S@P500 and Wilshire were both down.

I think the varsity team at Barclays is on vacation. The JV squad must be running the show.

AORD down 0.57% final

Perhaps a more pragmatic idea is if a lot of folks bought into the I fund, Barclays is forcing a higher buy price

Another idea is they are carrying a floating FV for the Nikkei.

early Wednesday EAFE estimate of -$0.0146
minus Wednesday FV (previous day) of -$0.2000 = -$0.2146

dollar up 0.01% = 84.16

Europe is down 0.1%

Wednesday EAFE estimate of +$0.1317
minus Wednesday FV (previous day) of -$0.2000 = -$0.0683

dollar down 0.12%= 84.06

Europe was up about1.2%
