Hey hey... there you go "F" Fund..

[mmmmmbeer]

It's early yet, but +.49 (.45%) in the first hour-ish.

Show is what you got now!

Just observing plenty of the "leaders" on the tspcalc.com, many had already G fund until the 9th of the month where you'd place it into the F fund. That would be a nice order of business for how this month is turning out. June is a tough month to make gains it seems, looking at the past, the G fund or F was the best.

See how today ends, we've had a lot of those great big smile formations intra-day with stocks lately. And that most often translates to a frown with the F fund.

It will be interesting to see what Janet has to say this afternoon.

It will be interesting to see what Janet has to say this afternoon.

Yikes.. she should just shuddap! One person should not have that much influence on a national economy. It's silly is what it is.

[zacksedlak]

Seems like everyone already knows what she is gonna say.

Why is agg going up, bonds hate interest rate hikes,unless Janet bluffing again?

[skiehawk11]

Total return is what matters. Just because interest rates increase, doesn't mean that bond values will go down in proportional value. The strengthening USD is affirming US treasuries and the US bond market as havens of safety for investors. Also, bonds will have more value as some investors will start chasing yields.

Remember also that the F Fund mirrors a bond market, not the bonds themselves. The prices reflect what investors are willing to pay for the bonds, not what the bonds are actually returning.

So... are we suggesting a pull out of C,S and or I funds?

[mmmmmbeer]

Welp... they announced the .25% hike and the AGG dipped a smidge.. but seems to be holding steady and came back a little even.

+.46 (.42%)

We'll see how she goes this afternoon till close.

[TomCollins]

AGG up 0.32%, C & S both down while the Dow notches a fresh record high. Go figure?

[cava8816]

So... F is looking like the safe place for this summers shenanigans

[Tomanyiron]

AGG up 0.32%, C & S both down while the Dow notches a fresh record high. Go figure?

Could it be a sign of what's going to happen tomorrow?
