What Is A Money Market Account?

[@rosannaconstil571]

An individual may invest in the money market by purchasing a money market mutual fund, buying a Treasury bill, or opening a money market account at a bank.

[@theresaquiera7412]

At the wholesale level, it involves large-volume trades between institutions and traders.

[@EricBrittonSilvado]

it includes money market mutual funds bought by individual investors and money market accounts opened by bank customers.

[@durhammiller8817]

According to my manager Timothy Eric Meek an expert trader, the money market is characterized by a high degree of safety and relatively high rates of return.

[@christianrode8316]

He is right, that the real fact because the money market investments are characterized by safety and liquidity, with money market fund shares targeted at $1.

I appreciate your commitment to guiding others toward financial success. We all strive for security and a better quality of life, and this can be achieved through smart investments, mindful spending, and effective budgeting. I'm thankful I discovered the value of hard work and financial independence early on in my journey.

[@StocksWolf752]

In my view, smart investing is not just a method for generating passive income but also a strategic way to save for future financial needs. Those who don't make sound decisions early on often find themselves regretting it later. However, investing can be complex and risky when done alone. That's why I strongly suggest seeking guidance from a professional. The key is not simply absorbing information from videos or books, but applying that knowledge wisely in real-world situations.

[@JamesLongman-v5r]

I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I opt to entrust the day-to-day decision-making to an investing coach. With their specialized knowledge and extensive research, it is highly unlikely for them to underperform. Their expertise is centered around harnessing the asymmetrical potential of risks while also employing measures to safeguard against unfavorable outcomes. I have been collaborating with an investment coach for more than two years

[@jakepatchogue9478]

Ok so at banks and credit unions, a ‘Money Market’ account is simply a brand-name/catch phrase for a high-yield savings account. Just like how some banks call their savings ‘Premier Savings’ or ‘Premier Plus Checking’. It is not on any actual stock market, but the interest rate mirrors what an actual Money Market on the stock market pays. Most right now are paying around $50 a year for every $10,000 you keep. It’s not a lot, but way better than Chase or BoA which pay 0.01%

@@93mlo just fyi some of these good accounts can require a couple business days in order to withdraw, and the primary feature you want is something fast to access (liquid). My personal advice is make sure you can immediately access some of it 24/7, maybe a few grand. The rest of it can be in a better account that takes a couple days to access and that's probably fine. In my case I keep a small amount in a regular boring savings account attached to my checking account at my credit union that I can easily access or transfer 24/7 instantly. I'm not going to need $10k in the middle of the night, but I might possibly need 1. Some people just keep that in cash in their house. The rest I keep in a high-yield savings. That's what I currently do, but I'm up for learning any other methods.

@@JiisTube At my credit union CDs can be broken and you lose 3 months simple interest, so having the bulk of your emergency fund in there could work.

I am somewhat on the cautious side being single with only one job, plus growing up with my parents being a financial mess so I keep at least 3 months cash on hand and 6 months in the savings account. If you use investment accounts many of them are quite liquid (cash within a week) but you risk having to pull out while the market is down although 3-6 months of cash should avoid that.

A good credit score can save hundreds of thousands on a mortgage

[@TheRythimMan]

I am personally neither here nor there when it comes to his advice about credit cards, but listening to his callers I do understand why he says to cut them up. A lot of these people have 30K to 50K in credit card debt and they are struggling to pay it off. A lot of my friends and family believe that in order to build credit you need to put a lot of things on your credit card and then never pay it off. Imagine paying 20% + on $50,000 of credit card to prove your credit worthy enough to get a mortgage. Couple that with the fact that using too much of your line of credit or not paying your bills on time sometimes because you're struggling to make the payments actually hurts your credit. Imagine the stress that puts you in? For those people The disadvantages of credit cards outweigh the advantages tenfold. I've never been the kind of person who was tempted to live outside of my means. I've been a saver since I was a small child. I pay for gas with my credit card for the negligible 3% cash back and then pay it off right away before it accumulates interest. But almost all family member and friend that I know spends their entire paycheck on shiny things the very same day they get it (or they use one of those apps to get their paycheck in advance so they can spend it before they even get it). The very same people use credit cards to live outside their means, and when they've maxed out one credit card they sign up for another, all the while rationalizing it by convincing themselves that they are building good credit for themselves by doing so. I am convinced that MOST people will benefit from cutting up their credit cards in the long run.

Top Comment It’s actually the case because India being a developing country is growing way more than the US YoY

[@thecatnextdoor12]

No offense but I wouldn’t put my life savings in India, even if it offered me a 17% interest rate.

So is this where I put my emergency fund?

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

I’ve just Ben parking my money in checking account (direct deposit from work) while I save for a home. Am I foolish for doing this?

[@BlessedYoungSoul30]

Yes. I hope you’re still not doing this…

[@GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

@@BlessedYoungSoul30 Not now. Most of it’s invested. $22k in Roth and $36k in Traditional.

But what about a high yield savings account paying 5% intrest

[@Donnafrank-k6e]

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing below the $100k mark and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $234,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest a huge percentage of my profit and it got more interesting.! For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home at the beginning of summer.

Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks

[@Donnafrank-k6e]

@@GeorgestraitStriat However, if you do not have access to a professional like Suzanne Gladys Xander, quitting your job to focus on trading may not be the best approach. It is important to consider all options and seek guidance from reliable sources before making any major decisions. Consulting with an AI or using automated trading systems can also be helpful in managing investments while balancing other commitments.

It's kind of sad how generally clueless people are about finances.

[@jmc8076]

True but credit to those who are young like the caller and reach out to people like Dave to ask and educate themselves. It encourages others to.

@@jmc8076 no sense in making fun of anyone trying to educate themselves on the matter, though.

[@JiisTube]

Very few people outside of the finance industry can answer what exactly a money market account is. It was a good question imo

[@themillennialmarket1941]

True! So many people don't even have idea in what they spend their money in, so imagine for them learning how to do so... And simple things like savings it's a boogie monster.

[@Anthony-zw1qb]

I like the money market treasury funds instead of the bank

What is Gold? Should I own some?

[@optimisticallyskeptical1842]

Ha, not unless you're so rich that "saving for retirement" isn't in your goals.

[@dkgong]

I think if you want to remain diversified, gold is a decent hedge against inflation and market downturns. But I would only keep it as a small percentage of your portfolio.

[@projectbetterfinance3863]

You got a Canadian maple leaf 1 ounce coin as your display picture. I’m sure this a test question lol.

Gold is an element, symbol Au.

2024 and money market is now 5%

[@rayallen953]

No bank will pay you high interest when they can just get money from Fed at 0.25%?

[@pepeanzarut]

Well, you can actually get 5.2% APY on money market right now.. so I guess you can get something decent

[@firefixing4125]

Question for you smart people that understand money. If I use this to save money for land to homestead on and I also add money in it every paycheck (about 100$) would it work?

Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol

[@maggysterling33254]

This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?

[@maryHenokNft]

I've been thinking about going that route. I have a lot of stocks that I have maintained, but they are beginning to lose value, so I'm not sure if I should hold onto them or sell them. I feel hiring your investment coach would make it easier to restructure my portfolio.
