Are Bank Money Market Accounts FDIC insured?


I have read several places that a Money Market Fund is not FDIC insured. That I could indeed loose money. But the Bank I deal with tells me it is FDIC insured and that I cannot lose money. But they will not put it in writing. 5 months ago if I had put my money in silver, I would have doubled my money!!!

If your BANK is insured by the FDIC (up to $100,000 per person, per bank), then your money is covered, regardless of what account it is in - including money market accounts. The only exception to this is if your bank is also acting as a broker and is selling you investments that have a risk of loss. Money Markets have a stated interest rate that is guaranteed. That is FDIC insured.

Money Market accounts pay almost nothing - I dont think they are worth it.

Buy silver or gold, you are right, you would have tripled your money by now.
