Why I don't invest in the I Fund

Post by Aitrus »

I've often said that I don't think that investing in the I Fund is a good idea. Here's a presentation given by Peter Zeihan, a geopolitical analyst, that explains why the US is on very solid footing economically and strategically, and the rest of the world is uncertain at best - especially the Euro and China.

I agree. There are times the I Fund will gain, but with only 2 active IFTs a month you simply cannot take advantage of its moves and then make IFTs in and out of the S and C funds.
