I agree with quiz re: Money Market or a CD and then take time to find someone to advise you or to do some research. I like indexing also and would recommend you look at this, not as a recommendation for investing in that company, but as a approach to investing. Also, remember, the lower the risk, the less the return, in general. Also consider tax free municipals. Some are making good returns.
