THE credit crisis has produced many losers and a few winners. Among money-market mutual funds, which invest in short-term debt and other instruments, it is the other way round. Some funds that exposed themselves to mortgage-linked exotica, albeit indirectly, have had to [---①(phrase) ---] by their managers. But many of the rest have done nicely as worried investors flocked to them, seeking safety.

Now they crave [---⑥(phrase) ---]—a welcome rediscovery that short-term holdings should “bore you into a good night's sleep”, as Reserve Management's Bruce Bent, creator of the first money fund in 1970, puts it. Money funds, with robust credit departments that do not simply rely on ratings, are better placed than corporate treasurers to provide this.
