MarketWatch Columnist Chuck Jaffe writes "Fannie and Freddie's woes no big threat to money market funds" in today's San Francisco Chronicle. The veteran fund writer responds to a radio show listener's concerns about his money fund holding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debt, saying, "While the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac situation threatened the credit market, it's not actually a big worry for investors in money market funds.... Since the subprime crisis took hold, money funds have been more talkative about what they do; several big firms have sent notes to shareholders about the Fannie and Freddie concerns -- which most experts believe have been resolved for a minimum of six months, thanks to Treasury support -- because they don't want guys like Edward to bail out."
