| Money-market fund insanity Take a look at some MMF yields these days: Vanguard Prime: 2.23% Vanguard Federal: 2.06% Vanguard Tax-Exempt: 4.83% (!) Same over at Fido, and I'm sure at other houses. Tax-exempt MMFs with "raw" (let alone tax-equivalent) yields more than double that of taxable funds. That's a pretty good illustration of the credit market craziness we're currently engulfed in. (Either that or all those cities and states really are going to take the big dirt nap...). -- Rich Carreiro rlc-news[at]rlcarr.com ------ Misc.invest.financial-plan is a moderated newsgroup where Moderators strive to keep the conversations on-topic for financial planning.
