What is the investment advantage and disadvantage of money market mutual funds over Cd's and savings accounts?

Money market mutual funds are safe and extremely liquid. There are usually no fees associated with transactions in money market funds. Most brokerage accounts provide access to money market funds which can be used to park funds from stock or bond sales pending reinvestment.

The drawbacks to money market funds are that the interest rate paid is only a fraction of a percent and the money held in brokerage accounts is not insured against loss by the FDIC. CDs and savings accounts offered by banks offer higher rates of interest and are insured against loss by the FDIC.

The investment disadvantage of money market mutual funds over CDs and savings accounts is that they take much longer to pay out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
