You're going to take a big hit today, unfortunately
Hi. I never liked the I Fund not any other “EAFE International fund”. Pundits tell you to diversify. But I never had any luck with good returns from an international fund. I have watched Fed Retirement Planning on YouTube and the I fund did perform well a couple years ago. For me he made a case to stay out of I. EAFE doesn’t perform as well as US markets indexes.

Hi James, I knew I'd take a hit when I exited but wanted to stop the slow bleed. It was quite a drop in afternoon, but last couple hours regained some. Still.. Ugghhh… but glad I'm out. :D:D:D

Hi Jarc02, I've never liked the I fund much either. But try to just follow charts. Of course, 2 IFTs don't give us much to work with. So I will be watching for entry again in February.
Best Wishes to you! :smile:
Here is 1-hour candles chart for past 20days. FWIW, I have been considering Trix indicator. I like that it is clearer than MACD. Downward cross occurred on both on the 21st, but became more pronounced by the 23rd. While there was meandering and small cross overs happening from 13th to 16th, RSI stayed above 50 and market continued upward.

CONGRATULATIONS GREAT BRITAIN!!!! Happy Brexit Day!!! :arms: U.K. exits the European Union!! Nothing is as sweet as Sovereignty!
Obviously, I Fund investors may need to watch out for days of volatility as certain related exit milestones pass in 2020. Here is a good article with lots of dates set out.

Time to get back in and play. Doing nothing sitting on the sidelines...maybe try to stay in longer this time. VIX looks like it could move down. Will see... In any case, I spread it around.
30S - 30C - 20I - 20F.
Best Wishes to Everyone* on your Investments!!!! :smile:
Here are a few charts. While market has quickly jumped up over the past week and even has gapped up, I look at MACD (default) and see that it is just now starting to cross positive--clearest on SPX. Makes me think market will continue upward even if it does draw back now and again (for profit taking). I think it continues on up. I like it! But will continue to monitor daily.... primarily will be looking at 3 and 13 EMA. I don't like I fund, but it looks good right now--mainly because MACD default looks like its crossing up and Stochastic is rising but has not yet hit 80... hum....that looks good to me, but we will see. No telling what happens tomorrow with Fed speak. uggh…. Gosh... I Wish he could be Muzzled! :blink: (Not Nuzzled!!! lol :laugh: )

LOL🤠Sounding more like Annie Oakley now. As always, enjoying your reviews. And being that you tend to lean toward caution I don't feel so muddled being in, which is making no sense to me at the moment having expected a much greater pullback, though prob still yet to come.
