Just wondering, but does anybody think money market funds could prove to be a bad place to have cash parked? I read on the MB thread a few months ago about how some brokerages were able somehow to borrow from their own money market funds. Never learned who's doing it, but I seem to recall some liquidations of market makers and others after the crash in '87 and wondered if my credit union would be a safer place in light of that possibility. My CU pays 3.5% and my Waterhouse MM is only 3.96% now, so the difference isn't particularly great any longer (thanks Greenie).
