"Money-Market Reform Proposals Could Directly Hit Fund Investors" says Dow Jones, writing on the Group of 30 Proposals, "Tucked into three paragraphs amid an 82-page report was a suggestion that money-market funds should either let their net asset values float freely or convert to 'special-purpose banks' -- steps that fund-industry representatives say would effectively kill money-market funds in their current form." The article quotes ICI President Paul Schott Stevens, "If the recommendations are implemented, there will be no more money-market funds, period." It also quotes Mercer Bullard, "Banks have lost billions of dollars and money-market funds have proved them to be wasteful and inefficient. One IndyMac costs us more than all the money-market fund failures in the past and future combined." See also, Financial Times' "Money market funds in lawmakers' sights".
