    Sentinel Money Market fund has halted withdrawals to prevent a run. These funds are not FDIC insured. Hence, investors have no recourse.

    If more Money Market funds experience liquidity crunch, that is going to cause quite a panic among Joe 6 Pack crowd compared to the Hedgies drying up.

    FDIC may be the sweetest sound of liquidity now.

    My understanding is that Sentinel is a money market fund for “the big boys,” e.g. commodities traders and funds, and not for Joe Zinfandel.

    I doubt the Fed would let even a small consumer money market fund go under, let alone an operation like Fidelity. But I could be wrong. Or it could simply be out of their hands.
