    Hi TTB, Happy New Year. Have you heard of a new Money Market Select from the Bank of America? They are running a pilot program, offering 4.5 APY for a FDIC insured Money Market select. I was going to move my cash into Fidelity or Vangiard, but I might as well just keep it there. Your thoughts?

    I haven’t heard about that one but I know they offer Cash Maximizer Savings accounts hidden from most people. See post on Bank Deals. To me, all bank savings or money market accounts suffer the same problems:

    1. Rates are set arbitrarily by the bank. They can be competitive today and become totally uncompetitive tomorrow. A Fidelity or Vanguard money market fund will always offer competitive rate set by the market.

    2. For people in higher tax brackets, a tax-exempt money market fund often has higher yield after tax.

    3. Bank savings or money market accounts have a limit of 6 withdrawals per month. Money market funds don’t have that limitation.
