"Safe" money market funds
Was listening to CNBC near the 4PM close - guy chatting and said he had heard AXA Financial, French firm's money market accounts had dropped from a NAV of 1.00 to NAV around 0.80 because the money market was connected to mortgage backed securities. I went in as deep as I could into the money market stuff backing my bokers money market accounts - basically they own stuff from Morgan Stanley, Citibank, etc. etc. Prior to the close today, switched out of their Money Market Funds into 1 and 3 month T-bills. "Just in case"...hate to pull up my "safe" money market and have it reflect a NAV of 0.75 in case of a meltdown.
