Americans chase European stocks
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/americ...191324431.html
Last year the I fund lost about 5.3%, so far this year it has made nearly 6%. I have about 20% of my income there. If the I manages to have a very good year, meaning if it returns 15%, I will still transfer most of my money out of it because I don't like the roller coaster associate with this particular fund.
so how much gas does the I fund have left in its tank? anybody have any thoughts about this???
I expect the ishares Europe ETF of IEV to go from $44 to $84 before the year ends. The IEV contains 350 European stocks.
as long as there is no major crash from either the Asian market or the U.S market it should continue upward for couple years. Look at our QE program, we rise so much since the crash with the help of QE. I think the I fund is on a bull cycle and the U.S market is on the down turn, and that does not mean we are crashing, maybe sideway for a year or two ranging 1-2k in the Dow.
Disclaimer: Rookie opinion! Right or wrong I loosely view the 2015 I-fund as sort of being like the US stock market circa 2009. Seems like the US economy is definitely improving but a lot of 'experts' are saying US stocks are overpriced and there are 'better' bargains in Europe. Also a lot of articles about people moving their money into the European stock markets lately. My totally 'amateur' view is that the I-fund has more upside potential than the US stock market. Of course Greece will default and ka-blooey. Currently have 30% in the I-fund.
The I fund had another very good day yesterday. I'm glad I decided not sell after loosing money on it in 2014. Now that Greece has agreed to more austerity, it will get money from the EU in order to get its economy on track.
