SmartMoney features "​Your Money...​Swept Away", which discusses brokerage sweep accounts. The piece says, "Across the country, millions of Americans have been sitting on cash -- not at banks, not at credit unions, but in brokerage houses. Spooked by the crash on Wall Street last fall or nervous even earlier in the year, many dumped their mutual funds and bailed out of individual stocks. Then they gave their brokers one simple order -- put it in cash -- creating what analysts say could be a record amount of parked money. Indeed, while no one knows the exact size of these accounts, rough estimates suggest they easily top $​600 billion.... Today much of this money continues to sit in accounts with names like '​sweep,' '​core' and '​cash management.'"
