My MMA is currently earning over 5%. A longer-term bond mitigates the volatility in the Yield-On-Cost, at the expense of price. Bonds and MMAs plays a very minor role in my overall portfolio.

It's funny you posted this today. I was looking over The Single Best Investment book last night and in there he talks about allocation. If you hold twenty to thirty stocks, then you will reduce your risk significantly. Also, by holding dividend growth companies you are further ensuring an investment that beats the market. All that said, I understand the need to feel secure in your investments. I applaud you for your meticulous detail. I appreciate you sharing all your data with the community.
