    I am trying to decide which investment to make...

    Money Market:
    5 yr performance - 2.07%,
    Yearly: 2009 - .32%, 2008 - 2.62%
    Present Yield: .37%
    weighted average maturity 60 days

    T Bill
    5 Yr Performance: 1.82%
    Yearly: 2009 - .20% 2008 - 1.96%
    Present Yield: .24%
    weighted average maturity 42 days

    As I am typing this, I realized both are really bad...I guess I'd be lucky to make pennies...
     
  2. 1) The T-Bills will always have "safety". :)
    2) The money market can get into "trouble" if there is a lot of corporate, municipal and/or foreign crap in the fund during an economic meltdown. :eek:
