How Safe is Your 401(k) Plan?s Money Market Fund?

Money market funds have always provided refuge from the storm in a market crisis, but CFOs who have fiduciary responsibility for their company’s 401(k) plan may be questioning the safety of their plan’s money market fund these days. Many of the funds hold commercial paper and other short-term debt instruments tied to ailing financial powerhouses such as Lehman and AIG. And the seemingly unthinkable has already happened: one large money market fund, the Reserve Primary Fund, announced that it lost capital due to the Lehman securities it held, breaking the sacred $1 per share net asset value (NAV). This marks the first time that a money market fund “broke the buck� in 14 years, according to The Wall Street Journal. S & P subsequently put nine other money funds sponsored by the company on credit watch for possible downgrades.

Palm's Grand Plan to Save the Brand Barely a Plan At All

Palm is in a tough place right now, with a staid reputation, a decade-old OS and a line of phones that are all, well, sort of boring. The New York Times ran a piece today charting Palm's revitalization plans, which are being carried out under the guidance of CEO Ed Colligan and Apple vet Jon Rubinstein, and they aren't altogether inspiring. Sure, there's always Palm OS 2, but this piece seems to imply (not surprisingly) that we might not see that until the middle of next year. And from the looks of it, Palm's troubles may run deeper than that.
