Suze Orman clarifies her comment on money market funds from the Oprah Winfrey Show, saying, "​I want to keep you all up with the latest action in Washington regarding protecting your savings. I taped a recent appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show on the morning of Thursday Sept. 18, right in the midst of much market turmoil. On the show I told you all that money market funds you buy through brokerages and mutual fund companies are not insured the same as money market accounts that you buy at an FDIC-​insured bank. The show did not air until Tuesday Sept. 23. And between when I taped the show and it aired, the U.​S. Treasury department announced a plan to set up a guaranty fund for money market mutual funds (​MMMFs)." In other money fund news: Reuters' writes "​RBC to help cover clients hurt by Reserve fund".
