So, tell me what this means to a typical investor in the TSP?

But, more importatnly, I need some explaination of the I fund overall. Yesterday (6/3/09), at market closing, the I fund graph which is posted at the bottom of tsptalk showed a return for the day of approximately .63% or something like that.

But, at the end of the day when the daily returns were posted, the I fund only showed an increase of .1%! What happened to the other 1/2 percent?

And thanks in advance for your insight and advise.

See posts 1 and 2 in the I fund Forum!! It's not easy to understand the way they calculate the "I" fund!

Dollar's move may have switched direction- that's why we haven't seen good I fund return the last week or so-

Check out this chart- British Pounds to Dollars:

Damm this is getting depressing... I fund down day after day. There's gotta be a turnaround here soon.

I have been busy with other things and it appears tht I missed a fair value adjustment several days ago. I have been carrying a FV adjustment that probably does not exist.

We can see if the amount is reasonable today.

Easy now, Corvette, get that leading zero back in that estimate!!! I had to do a double take to wonder why we lost almost 60 cents per share! (Should be about 6 cents per share).....Thanks for the info...

I think the I fund was even as of yesterday. Today's payout should be 14 cents, unless there's a new FV tonight.
