If Ford happened to go bankrupt or just default on these debts, then you wouldn't get any money back, correct?

Added First Arkansas Bank & Trust - FirstNet Checking - 6.06% APY, No Cap, Open to All

Isn't that a Reward Checking type of account? I'm guessing that it is based on the fact that it's a checking account and pays a very high rate of interest. [Reward Checking accounts require a number of debit card transactions per month and/or direct deposit.]

That's right, see the notes in the quick summary where it says "Reward Checking", or click the link goto the account sign up page (above and in QS) or follow the link to the fw disscusion thread in the quick summary.

"Edit: Shouldn't it be in the Reward Checking thread?" Yes, but it works for this one too.

RMMXX down to 5.167% APY

This is a meaningless abbreviation. People should not be expected to do a Google search to know what this is.

I'm not really sure what you mean. Listing money market funds by their ticker symbol is pretty standard practice. I've never seen anyone type out what FSLXX really means all spelled out.

By seeing the XX you know it is a money market fund. Absent any other knowledge, you go to your broker and try to purchase RMMXX. That's really all you need to get started.

How many times on how many threads do we have to explain it is a no minimum, no load, open to the public money market fund?

RMMXX has been mentioned at least a half dozen times on this thread. How many times does it have to be explained to you?

I'm sorry you are so lazy that you have to have everything hand fed to you. Typing "RMMXX" into google sure is a daunting task.

Now I can't imagine how much labor it will take to log into your favorite brokerage to actually purchase it.

I've mentioned this money market fund at least a half dozen times. If you are too lazy to type 5 letters into google and hit enter, then you are not ready for non-FDIC insured "investing".

Even if I told Russell ran the fund, you should still investigate it for yourself.

The spoonfeeding and laziness has hit an all time low.

I bring you guys the current rate of one of the highest yielding mmfs available to retail investors and you guys b1tch because I don't hand you a proxy statement too.

Just think, if you had added RMMXX (with a link) to the Quick Summary, you wouldn't be b1tching about other people b1tching. You even discussed putting it in the Quick Summmary, but I don't see it there. Seems to me that simply adding it in the first place would have been a lot more constructive than than your sarcasm and complaining. Personally, I'd rather read your thoughtful comments (of which you've had plenty) than this kind of garbage.

People b1tched that I shouldn't put it in the quick summary because it fluctuates daily.

So I'm getting b1tched at for asking to put it in and b1tched at for not doing it.

The only garbage I'm seeing are people who are too lazy to type 5 letters into Google. If you're too lazy to type 5 letters into google, why would you click to the front page, scroll down to the quick summary, and click on another link, and then read the link?
