Thread: Will the S Fund Rebound?

I have been sitting back watching the action lately. I remain 60 S 40C. Will probably move to 100S COB Friday. I think next week might be a good one.

I was wondering that myself, looking at the Nasdaq and then the Yahoo chart here. I couldn't believe the difference between the two.

yes, 0.25%

I went back to the I fund. I know this fund looks good due to being behind but not to sure about a big pop from now to years end. Then again in this market we are not even sure of today...

It looks like small-caps are outperforming large-caps big time today. Besides oversold rebounds, this is the first I've seen that in a long time. Maybe we're seeing the beginnings of a break out for the S-Fund.

Hey Contrary,
I wanted to say I've been wondering the same thing. In addition to seeing moves you mention, today of all the stock funds, S was the ONLY one to close higher! Stiil maybe a little early to say for sure, but personally I am going to start giving it my biggest play!!

The rotation between higher gains between the "C" and the "S" funds changes depending on the state of the Market. You have to Analise the Market on a daily basis to predict which fund is HOT and which fund is NOT!

I wish they would create one for the NASDAQ. I know some of the NASDAQ stocks like Apple are in the S&P 500. Am I missing something?

Hi Paladin,
Hope my response today in my new AcctTalk was adequate. It was just that a bunch of folks all hit asking questions at once...

To your qustion, I found out (the hard way) that different sources have different lookup symbols for the same Funds/Indexes (or often similar, but incorrect!!). You will find the correct symbol on SharpCharts for S is $EMW. On Yahoo, I believe DWCP (but don't quote me, because I've learned to pick one source and stick with it). Its likely yet a symbol with other sources like Google (no idea why).

To illustrate, 350 just informed me that on SharpCharts, I should have used $NDX for the Nasdaq 100 Index (not $COMPQ -"NASDAQ Composite" was the name given there). Well, at least I continue to learn! -I'll try to be more careful in future.

To see how confusing it can be, go to this SharpCharts link... http://stockcharts.com/symsearch?nasdaq at the top use its search - notice that I got 79 hits for NASDAQ!!! [Which would you have selected? >try the search >at the "Style" dropdown >select "Lookup Symbol", then at >"Symbol" choose something to enter (if you're unsure just enter NASDAQ, or any of your choice). Now honestly, how is anyone to know which one without help?!
Hope this helps!

The year 2007 will be the first time since 1998 that small-cap stocks have posted lower returns than large stocks. That would end an 8 year streak of outperformance for small stocks, second only to a 10-year run from 1974 through 1983. These market cycles are not short lived.

VXF is a ETF that tracks it also.
