    the I fund going to take a big hit tomorrow-

    the Japanese Nikkei 225 just opened, and is now down 5% in the first eleven minutes of stock trading.

    http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^N225

    Nikkei 225 now down 531.78 points, (-5.19%), at 9,713.68 as I write this.

    The Nikkei 225 ended up down -6.18% last night.


    Bad day for the I fund today. The Nikkei 225 makes up almost 25% of the I fund value.

    Ouch! The EFA is down about 2% this morning. Unfortunately I'm already in the I-fund but I think I'll buy some EFA here near 58.00.

    True, but the TSE was closed for the Emperor's birthday on 12/23, so today was just a catch-up day. The question is which direction it will head tomorrow, prior to the open of our market. My instincts say flat - just waiting to see what we do.
