    A play on the I Fund is essentially a play on a positive Euro. Buying the Euro here is not the contrarian play at this point, as Karen Carpenter once said, "we've only just begun". Like Lehman, even people who believe they aren't exposed to Greek debt via the Euro will find that they have inadvertently checked in to the hotel California as they chased the yields a few weeks ago.

    I'm not in Euro death watch, but I see a Euro going to par dollar once the Eurozone initiates the nuclear option very soon. Any weekend wagers to the nuclear option, 350Z?

    The I fund closed down $0.56 to $16.78. They are giving it away. The S fund will continue to drift lower and not rebound as previously. The market sectors have changed.

    My only regret is that I have no more money to throw at the I-Fund.

    No, I don't see that happening. Not this weekend anyway.

    Anyone know the approximate FV padding this AM for the I fund? Around 1.5%?

    I can't help you there. I only work for the I fund.

    Down .8%.


    Watch out for a +FV if the markets turn green.

    why is the I fund riding high +.50 when euro markets just closed all down miserably? time lag?
    I like TSPTalk and I think most people here are well-intentioned but if I followed their advice, I'd be hunkered down in my basement with a thousand cans of tuna fish.
