"It's called "retail money funds." And it tells us what mom-and-pop investors are doing with their money.

Retail money funds are basically money market funds. You use them to hold cash in an investment account. And on the whole, they tell us if folks are excited to own stocks, or if they're scared.

When mom-and-pop investors are scared, they hold more of their assets in cash, and retail money funds shoot higher. And as investors start to relax... so does the indicator.

HVAC Filters For Allergies

https://dustmitesolutions.com/reviews/best-air-conditioning-filters-dust-mites-reviews/
"MERV 7 to 13 are almost as effective as true HEPA filters at removing allergens, with a much lower associated system and operating costs.  This means that using high-quality filters can actually help your HVAC system perform with more efficiency and keep the inside of equipment from accumulating dust."  (Or Home Depot's FPR # 7 or higher.)

For increased energy efficiency, replace filters every 1 or 2 months.

"Finally, keep in mind that an air filter is just one part of your allergy battle plan. You'll have a better chance of wiping out allergies if you use multiple tactics. Try adding some of these simple tips into your routine.

    Keep pets off of furniture and out of bedrooms. If your pets are outside often, allergens will stick to their fur and they'll bring those particles indoors with them.

    Shower before you go to bed to remove any allergens that are on your hair and skin.

    Wash clothing and linens with super hot water to banish dust mites.

    Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. A fast way to reduce sniffle-inducing dust and allergens is to vacuum once a day.

    Keep your windows closed and limit your time outdoors to reduce exposure to pollen and outdoor allergens."
