"I only use money markets in the 90% part of 90/10 "

Do you actually use money market funds? If so which ones? I usually use Vanguard Money Market Prime but have used Zurich Moneywise and Strong Heritage.

But I would guess that you actually buy the types of securities that a money market invests in like short term governments and top tier corporate commercial paper etc. to save on expenses.

Follow up Q. Nothing besides money markets in the 90 of the 90/10?

For some reason I was under the impression that you did some of the spread conversions in the 90. Once you've succesfully legged in you can have a "no lose" type position, though the return might be lower than a money market if things don't go well, but you can't control or plan exactly what the money market funds will pay either.
