Last time I was at the library, I could not resist borrowing a book by
M. D. Weiss titled "The Ultimate Depression Survival Guide." In it the
author counseled that savings should be placed in treasury notes because
it is the lowest risk instrument.
"Even within the realm of gov guarantees, there is a clear pecking order
of priorities:
-- The gov's first prioirty guarantee: maturing securities that were
issued by the trasury itself.
-- The second order priority: maturing securities that were issued by
other US gov agencies, such as Ginnie Mae.
-- Third priority: the treasury's backing of the FDIC"
If this is true, it does seem to make sense to put savings into a
treasury-only money fund.
What do you experts say to this?
