    Ok, I know that many believe the dollar will continue its decline for some time, and that this means good things for the I fund. But, I wonder if the dollar is falling too far too fastright now, and may have overshot its true value:

    Next week when many traders return from vacations, I thinking that the dollar may rebound somewhat before eventually turning down again. So, I am thinking I may get out of the I fund effective January 3 in anticipation of a short-term decline, and get backinlaterin the week. Anyone have other thoughts on this?

    Dave, you'reright on target. One can ride the I for a longer run ignoring speed bumps or try to miss them using the S. I'm with you as I think those on vacation will try to turn it around or at least talk it up!

    The dollar has been pretty stable over the past few days. Could be my concern of the dollar shooting too low, too fast may not be such a big deal. I usually get burned when I try to play a little wiggle. So, if the dollar stays close to its current value through today, I will probably stick with my current allocation of 20 C, 30 S and 50 I until at least early next week.

    Happy new year, all!

    Dave
