Someone recommend moving money into Money Market Funds [View all]

About 1/3 of my money is in stocks. The rest is in various Vanguard Mutual Funds. With the possible market crash under the Orange Criminal and rapist, I've read the safest bet is to put it in MMFs. Thoughts? Maybe keep some in solid stocks like Apple and put at least 1/2 in MMFs?

High yield savings accounts give better returns and are also F.D.I.C. protected. The safest is U.S. treasury bonds. 3Hotdogs Nov 6 #6
