Money Markets: Summary and Resources

Here is a recap of money market instrument and it's features:

  • The money market specializes in debt securities that mature in less than one year.
     
  • Money market securities are very liquid, and considered very safe. As a result, they offer a lower return than other securities.
     
  • The easiest way for individuals to gain access to the money market is through a money market mutual fund.
     
  • T-bills are short-term government securities that mature in one year or less from their issue date and are considered to be one of the safest investments, and so don't give a great return.
     
  • A certificate of deposit (CD) is a time deposit with a bank. They are safe, but the returns aren't great, and your money is tied up for the length of the CD.
     
  • APY takes into account compound interest, APR does not.
     
  • Commercial paper is an unsecured, short-term loan issued by a corporation. Returns are higher than T-bills because of the higher default risk.
     
  • Bankers' acceptances (BA) are negotiable time draft for financing transactions in goods. They are used frequently in international trade and generally only available to individuals through money market funds.
     
  • Eurodollars are U.S. dollar-denominated deposit at banks outside of the United States. The only way for you to invest in this market is indirectly through a money market fund because Eurodollar deposits are very large.
     
  • Repurchase agreements (repos) are a form of overnight borrowing backed by government securities.

   Always keep in mind to:
  1. Spend less than you earn! People who spend every penny they make usually end up going broke.......
  2. Take enough risk on the money you save! Playing safe by putting your money under the mattress or in a savings account will not make you wealthy..

Remember that..... Fully one-fifth of humanity, some 1.3 billion people, struggles to survive on less than $1 per day. About 40% of humanity survives on less than $2 per day. More than a billion people around the world will go to bed hungry tonight. Life expectancy in some 32 countries is less than 40 years. If you have a few extra dollars in your pocket (you don't have to be a millionaire to make a difference), please share some of your financial good fortune with others who are in great need.


Think About It...  Being in the 'now' brings a freedom, unlike living in the past or in the future, which is a kind of imprisonment. This isn't a kind of a denial where you pretend life doesn't have problems. Life is full of problems, but most of those stresses and failures are reliving old hurts or worrying about future concerns. -- Carl Honore

When you 're diagnosed with cancer, you start to bargain with God: "Let me get through this, and I'll take better care of myself. I'll get my priorities in order. I'll learn to live every day to the fullest." Isn't it sad that you have to get sick before giving yourself permission to live life to the fullest? -- Robert Schimmel Look at Life in different & Positive ways
