Thread: Let's Talk About F, Babee

    Today, bond yields are up across the board but the AGG was only down -.08?

    I was expecting a 2-3 cent loss in the F fund.

    I've never figured out how Lehman Brothers does their weighting but today, for example, the ten year bond lost 0.22% of its price while the two year bond lost 0.12%., so 0.08 % is a composite using many different bonds. On top of that, there has always been some flakiness in how the F-fund tracks AGG.
    Trading, in its simplest form, is the process of capturing the disconnect between perception and reality.

    I love the "F" fund. Yesterday made .10 and paid nothing must have FV from the day before? I'm out of the stinkin "F" fund COB today, so stick in there I'm sure it will be up at least 3 cents tomorrow!

    That makes sense! It should have paid a penny yesterday, so today it's only down .08 instead of .18. Wow, this is almost like the I fund.

    Looks like the F fund loss 2 pennies after all. I guess I'll stop using the AGG.

    I only need something that will help me with Bingo. Will these spread sheets help?

    No, I don't think so. These spreadsheets will make you jump around from place to place. I think you are more of a "stationary person".

    Bond yields were mixed today. Most were unchanged or a hair down. The AGG shows -.09. I'm guesssing(hoping) the F fund will be even today.

    Not looking good for bonds. Yields are up modestly across the board. I'm guessing a loss of 2-3 cents in th F fund.
