"At current yields money markets offer a reasonable alternative to stocks, IMO." Imo, that's a correct opinion only if the stock market decline continues. In which case it's really "money markets offer a reasonable alternative to stocks". The argument being because no matter what the mm yield, low or high, it's better than losing money in stocks. I'm not sure I can definitively provide THE current yield on money market funds. But if its about 4.5% pretax, it is unattractive financially -imo- compared to stocks with growing dividend yields and as shakily appears now, good business prospects and good balance sheets. For me, I bet on the stocks. jmo. wrong though it might be.
