I sold my BEGBX a couple of days ago because I could take long term capital gains and because I wanted to put the money into the short side of the market, but if I can nail down some quick profits I may roll it right back into BEGBX. I'd like to hear more discussion of the safety of money market funds denominated in US dollars. Losing 5% in case of a forced liquidation of a fund wouldn't be so bad. People lose more than that every day in the stock markets. But is there any way to lose larger amounts? I don't think these funds have ever really been stress-tested since they were invented.
