The $500 Billion run on money markets occurred within 1 hour.

I know rumors can spread fast on Wall Street, but one hour to move $500 billion?

My big question is where did the money move to, not the stock market, not gold either or Treasuries, so where did it go?

Remember, we are talking about money market money, which is considered cash by many, so it needs to be parked somewhere, but where?

For a very short time, there were a lot of lumpy mattresses.

And finally, light is shed on the phrase “Go to the mattresses.”
