There is no effin way
EFA up over .5% and I fund down
Re: There is no effin way
The I fund usually lags behind the EFA a bit of I'm not mistaken. There are also other factors that go into the I fund action like exchange rates that may send the price in a different direction.

The I fund will correct higher on Monday.

Re: There is no effin way
If I knew that was for sure going to happen, I would've done an IFT into I on Friday. Are there certain "thresholds" that can occur for, say, 1. EAFE price, 2. dollar-to-euro rate, and 3. dollar-to-yen rate, such that it's a given that I Fund will gain big on the following day?

Re: There is no effin way
Look at the I fund performance over the past 10 days. This really makes me want to jump into the I fund headfirst, especially with whacked out religious savages overtaking the place in the next 20 years. < sarcasm. To each his own.

VEA up 0.65%, UUP down 0.27%... and I Fund is up only 0.585%???

I hear ya. I gave up on trying to track the I fund. Darn thing has a mind all its own.

Agree 100% and really don't care as long as my account keeps going up.
Re: There is no effin way
I second WildBill's comments. Also I don't try to match the I-fund to any index, it just gives me a migraine.

That don't make no sense at all. What is the best way to figure out the I anyways?

Re: There is no effin way
With so many variables, it's nearly impossible to accurately track the I fund on a consistant basis. With that said, I will gladly try any method that has proven my previous statement wrong.
