They call it "significant redemption pressure" although what they really mean is "run on banks/money market funds." Putnam in Boston closed its $15 billion money market fund" last night but we just heard it an hour ago. What is going on in the hedge funds arena is not out in the open yet! The rumour is that they are buying protection thru credit default swaps on debt and then shorting the corresponding stock to force the issuer to default. If this is what really happening, then most likely they are digging their own grave. Also, it appears that there is "run on hedge funds" that is going on, too, but it is not out in the open yet, either. I guess, hedge funds will come after the money market funds. By the way, GMAC was also mentioned together with money market funds.
