on my money market account ( bank savings) NOT a fund. Overnight it dropped from 3.15% to 2.60%. Bankrate had it as the highest return on Tuesday. Bankrate is a bank rating service as well as rating their MMAs and CDs. I still find it interesting that on-line watch dealers still refuse to drop their prices in the face of reality. Even the mil and bil aren' t buying at this time.

Although if you have a mortgage you should refinance to an exceptionally low rate...if you're renting, well now's as good a time as any to get into owning property! |
