Are money market funds like VUSXX considered a security? Do you still own the security if the firm fails?

Cash is trash, and I’ve long held the belief that bank deposits are not secure.

Petco - 0.01 EPS miss, ~20% decline. Opportunity?

Petco earnings released yesterday, revenue inline and an EPS miss of 0.01, doesn't seem to justify the almost 20% decline. 😳

Stock sitting at about $8 now.

I've been watching this thing fall for 2 years. Glad I never got in but now I'm considering a position. I suppose the danger of continuing to fall is there but I feel like this could/should be the bottom. I mean they're still a profitable company at the end of the day and they se

This morning, on my drive between houses, I heard an interview with some guy who discussed the workings at the Federal Reserve's conducting of the stress tests. He said that the stress tests were based o
