It has really been a very nice 40 days, partly in the I-Fund and then 100% in the I-Fund. (From 50 to 75 to 100). It's almost embarrassing how much I've made. This month has been incredible. It may be speeding up my retirement!

I keep thinking there will be a pullback . . . but it just keeps going up. I'm in for the long haul either way (probably until August/September).

While the Dollar is not the only factor in the I, it certainly does play a key roll. On Monday the dollar was pretty flat and the two indexes I look at for the I-Fund showed quite a disparity. I actually expected a loss but was pleasantly surprised with a nice gain.

I expect the dollar to continue to fall. Warren Buffett had a comment the other day and made a very strong recommendation for international funds.
