With all that the Fed

    Posted by focus175 on 23rd of Mar 2020 at 07:57 pm

    With all that the Fed has been doing, I'm trying to get a better understanding of the debt crisis and corporate debt as I know Steve and Matt you've been talking about that being a concern for some time.  I'm also trying to get a better understanding of what these recent Fed actions mean regarding that narrative. 

    With all the action the Fed has been taking, and now talking about buying corporate bonds and corporate bond ETFs, does this impact that concern and if so, how so? Positively/Negatively?

    Follow up to my last question. Any thoughts on 401ks, when the company plan requires you to be in a fund of some kind, what is the lowest risk place to put it is. Aka I know that use to be bonds, however it doesn't seem like that is the case anymore with the concerns with the debt crisis? 

    Also, with that back drop are "Stable Funds" that heavily invest in US Treasury Notes, more risky now/"less safe" than they use to be, due to the debt crisis and issues in the bond market? Trying to get a better understanding of how this all correlates.

    Aren't money market funds holders of debt and US treasury notes, so would that actually be a low risk place to be with the concerns about the debt crisis? Also, this company plan doesn't have the option to be in a money market, so what's the next best thing?
