So I understand that the C fund is an index fund that tracks the s&P 500. My question is what is the direct relationship between the C fund and S&P 500? For examble if the S&P 500 goes up 4.00 points in a day then that translates to the C fund going up X ammount of points in a day.

When the S&P500 moves .1% or 1% the C Fund will match accordingly.
Today's open 2090.57
Current (1030): 2083.49
Difference: -7.08
Percentage: -.34%

Yup, just watch the S&P500 to get the data for the "C Fund"...
But, wait, there's more:)
Somewhere in the mix you gain a fraction each year over the S&P500 because dividend reinvestment (I think) negates and overpowers fees. The 'C Fund' is a very nice thing. As is the 'G Fund' recently. For a 'cash' account, the 'G Fund' actually earns middling bond interest.

Yes, this is correct, and the difference is usually negligible.

Very definitely negligible. But I think the difference looks quite good in negligee. It always seems to accent the positives. Looks good on Burro's Ark when the mood is right:o
