Sunday's New York Times features "This Flight to Safety Wasn't Supposed to Happen", which says, "When Treasury bonds are hotter than stocks, it's a sign that something is very wrong with the stock market.... People with cash in money market funds are getting a much, much lower yield than that -- only 0.07 percent annually for the largest funds, on average, according to Peter G. Crane, the president of Crane Data of Westborough, Mass. That's better than the 0.05 percent average of earlier this year -- but not enough to make a difference." Crane says, "It's still awfully close to zero. The amazing thing is that even at these rates, when you're getting virtually no return on your money at all, people are still moving cash into money market funds. It's sobering."
