I would say the stupidity that I se is in holding large sums (if it simultaneously represents large % of portfolio) in cash. I would open up a treasurydirect.gov accout and look to get a tax free yield off an I-bond. If you do not feel like looking through bond offerings you would be better served to find some tax free muni bond funds. With a couple of Hundred thousand to invest you can go into the A shares and take advantage of the break points with respect to sales charges. JMTC

With the credit crunch intensifying it is growing more likely that some large institution (or smaller for that matter) will “break the buck”

Your tax dollars at work in this analysis done by the FDIC. It provides good background on what a MMMF is, and how it can “break-the-buck”. A bit dry reading though…..
