The rally in the dollar is killing the I-fund this morning.
Knowing what we saw late today (Friday, 1/28) in the U.S. market, and the TSP giving the I-fund a 0.08% loss on the day, who wished they could move their money into the I-fund for Monday?
Someone must be benefitting from this kind of information. The TSP could have done some fair value adjusting instead of delaying the gains until Monday.

EFA one or two down days away from going back to pre-pandemic (2019) value.

I don't see Russia listed for the I-Fund, which is good.

That's a massive -7.43% move today, and yet look how small that candle looks compared to the rest of the chart. Goodness.
At some point I Fund has to have a nice bounce back.... Right?
I mean I get it's beat down due to the double whammy of worldwide economic contraction PLUS the strong dollar.
I continue to dump 1/3 of my TSP contribution in here to keep my allocations somewhat afloat.
Bad idea?
That's one way to do it. Dollar cost averaging has been around a long time, and if you have time on your hands, you should be fine. But if you're looking out a year or two, you may have to grin and bear some uneasy times. The 0% interest days are gone and it may not be as easy going forward as it had been for the market.
Welcome, by the way, Craig! Thanks for joining us.
