T Bill vs Money Market

[rbursell]

I am trying to decide which investment to make...

Money Market:
5 yr performance - 2.07%,
Yearly: 2009 - .32%, 2008 - 2.62%
Present Yield: .37%
weighted average maturity 60 days

T Bill
5 Yr Performance: 1.82%
Yearly: 2009 - .20% 2008 - 1.96%
Present Yield: .24%
weighted average maturity 42 days

As I am typing this, I realized both are really bad...I guess I'd be lucky to make pennies...

1) The T-Bills will always have "safety".
2) The money market can get into "trouble" if there is a lot of corporate, municipal and/or foreign crap in the fund during an economic meltdown. :eek:
