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?
With all that the Fed
