Thread: I fund

Unofficial results for today:

S&P 500 (C-fund): +1.43%; DWCPF (S-fund): +1.69%; EFA (I-fund): +1.42%.

Tuesday's MSCI EAFE shows a loss of -0.61% for the I-fund. Add Monday's FV buffer of +1.04%, and the I-fund is up +0.43% for today. I am not sure of a +FV tonight, but it's going to be only half a percent if we get one.

TNA: +5.06% (YTD: +26.61%). Perfect snapback to keep the bulls in the game. Bull trap?

I-fund: +1.34%. Oops, forgot to factor in Japan's Nikkei which is still expected to track most of Wall Street's gains. Monday's FV buffer of +1.04% was added to Tuesday's MSCI EAFE of -0.61% (I-fund +0.43%). But due to the falling dollar and late market movement to the upside, a new FV of +0.91% got tacked onto the I-fund's final price (+1.34%). So tomorrow, the I-funders will carry an FV baggage of -0.91% at the get-go.

Thank you for posting these updates

Monday's S fund - 3.40. I fund -1.90. From memory.

European markets went from positive to negative territory. The dollar is also on the rise (+0.25%).

My early estimate of MSCI EAFE (I-fund) is for a loss of -0.50%. But if we add Tuesday's FV baggage of -0.91%, the damage would be at -1.41% for the I-fund. This could get uglier if things don't turn around.

Unofficial results for today:

S&P 500 (C-fund): -1.43%; DWCPF (S-fund): -1.58%; EFA (I-fund): -2.08%.

Tuesday's FV baggage of -0.91% is added to Wednesday's MSCI EAFE of -0.99% (I-fund -2.00%).

TNA: -5.09% (YTD: +20.17%). No need to guess, the triple patterns know where this market is headed.

I feel like the Elephant Man just gave me my prostrate exam, twice.

Official results for today:

C-fund: -1.43%; S-fund: -1.58%; I-fund: -1.76%.

For the I-fund: Tuesday's FV (fair value) baggage of -0.91% was added to Wednesday's MSCI EAFE of -0.99% (loss -2.00%). A bigger-than-usual price adjustment of +0.24% made it to the I-fund's final price. That's what happens when the TSP overlord overshoots the FV. Today, the I-fund is all squared up.

TNA: -5.09% (YTD: +20.17%).

Ebb, Wouldn't (.99%)+(.91%) = (1.90%) instead of (2.00%) + the .24% price adjustment for a (1.66%) I Fund loss?

Oops! I really need glasses, but I refuse to wear one. Thanks a heap, Scout333. It's -1.90%, so the price adjustment goes down to only -0.14% (I-fund -1.76%).

Unofficial results for today:

S&P 500 (C-fund): -0.67%; DWCPF (S-fund): -0.62%; EFA (I-fund): -0.31%.

Thursday's MSCI EAFE shows a loss of -0.38% for the I-fund (no FV tonight).

TNA: -1.85% (YTD: +17.95%). TNA following the triple patterns: +50% (Nov. '08-'13: +1,337%).

For the TSP, the triple-pattern strategy tracks 3 different allocations at the beginning of the year:

1. 50% S, 50% I, or 100% F.
2. 100% S or 100% F.
3. 100% S or 100 I, or 100% F.

If you happen to choose strategy #2 (100% S or 100% F), you'd be sitting on top of the AutoTracker (yep, number one) right now. This year, I chose strategy #3 (100% S or 100% I, or 100% F), so I'm not doing as well. :toung:
