With higher yields, you also get risk of loss of principle.  You 
will want this cash at a moment's notice when M turns around.  
You don't know whether that will be 30 days or 30 months or 30 
quarters.  Virtually everything that pays more than money markets 
also carries with it market price fluctuation.  If you need the 
cash in a hurry, market price may well be LOWER than your 
purchase price (particularly so if interest rates start to tick 
back up again).

So, how much risk of loss of capital are you will to tolerate?  
How long are you willing to tie up your capital?
