Confusion About Money Market Accounts and Money Market Funds

By Kenneth Moore | Mar 30, 2010

Can a seismic shift be considered subtle?

If you’re talking about money market accounts, money market funds, the past confusion that they were the same, and the current more informed perspective of the conscientious saver investor, it seems clear that a seismic shift has taken place–but without overly large numbers of people noticing what’s happened.

Money Market Accounts Not the Same as Money Market Funds

Money market accounts differ from money market funds–and now, unlike in the past, more people understand that fully.

More specifically, think of the change in perspective of the conscientious saver investor: choose an FDIC insured money market account, or a money market fund, which is basically a mutual fund of bonds.

And bonds are…bonds are promises from companies and cities and states that say they will pay everyone back later, and hopefully will. But the ep

Planning for Old Age Part of Planning for Retirement

By Kenneth Moore | Mar 30, 2010

Yahoo Finance ran an insightful, albeit somewhat morbid, article the other day talking about two major roadblocks to retirement wealth. Anyone over age 40 who has multiple bank accounts can benefit from reading this article.

The first major roadblock outlined by the author of the article, Robert Powell, is Alzheimer’s disease.

The Alzheimer’s Association reports that 5.3 million Americans currently have Alzheimer’s, with that number expected to grow to 19 million by 2050. Wow.

No, it is not pleasant to think about what you will do with your money if and when the time comes that you’re not able to handle it yourself. But the cost of not undertaking that difficult thinking can be utterly disastrous.

It is such a shame when someone who has worked hard and saved money all their life becomes confused or gets taken advantage of in old age. Proper p

The Next Act in the Reform Drama — Fannie and Freddie

By Kenneth Moore | Mar 30, 2010

Even as reform of Wall Street entities continues to wend its way through Congress, the spotlight has shifted to the next act in the regulatory reform drama, which involves what are formally known as Government Sponsored Entities (GSEs), but which are more familiarly called Fannie and Freddie.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are entities that purchase mortgages as part of government-sponsored programs. They started life as government agencies, but over the years acquired a weird, hybrid status. They became independent, for-profit companies, but their obligations were implicitly backed by the federal government.

This arrangement proved to be disastrous. Their for-profit status gave the GSEs an incentive to be as aggressive as possible about generating business, so they did not provide rigorous enough standards to the loans they were insuring. At

Mortgage News: Home Sales Hit New Record Low for February 2010

By Allison Jones | Mar 30, 2010

We recently reported that new home sales for January had reached the lowest point in 50 years. However, it turns out that new home sales for February have now reached a new record low that beat the previous month’s low. While the low sales may have had something to do with slightly-increased mortgage rates near the beginning of the year, this is not great news for the housing market.

The Numbers Continue to Drop

Just one month after seeing an upwardly revised low of 315,000, which was said to be the lowest point for new home sales in nearly 50 years, the numbers for February dropped to the lowest point ever seen by the Census Bureau, 308,000, which is a 2.2 percent drop from January.

Why the Numbers Are Dropping

Some experts believe that while mortgage rates could have a little to do with the drop in number, bad weather is more to blame.
