It all depends on what risk you are willing to take. The ones you mentioned are safest but disperse it between banks because you are only insured $100,000 total deposit per bank from the FDIC. So if you go that route and don't disperse you stand to lose 400,000 If the bank tanks.
You could also look into bonds. AAA,AA, Aaa are all very safe but again there is always the risk of you losing everything and these are not insured. However based on their rating they are unlikey to tank.
The lower the rating i.e. B, C, D bonds will give you a higher yield but they are more risky the lower the letters go.
Best bet, see a investment professional who can assess your ability to take risk and help advise you on the best ways to disperse. |

Your absolutely safest investment is T-bills. 6 mo T-bill pay about 5% and it is untaxed by state and local governments.
With that amount of money, you might want to consider a set of diversified investments. NO they are not as safe as T-bill but there is the potential of receiving a higher return.
Say 30% in T-bills. 30% in dividend paying U S stocks and 40% in dividend paying foreign stocks or foreign stock mutual fund. Why foreign stocks?? Because there is a good possibility that the U S dollar is over valued and will fall a lot. Look at the balance of trade deficit. |

Talk to a financial planner or an accountant. And if anyone emails you saying they are a financial planner, don't trust them. You just posted the fact that you have $500,000 on the Internet and now every scam artist in the world is going to be looking for you. |

CD or Money Market is safe because you won't lose your principal unless your bank go into bankruptcy. The return may be about 5 to 5.3% right now.
Index fund is safe because you will get result similar to the Market such as S&P and the cost to run the fund is the minimum comparing to all other mutual funds. The value may be fluctuated, but in long term may be closed to 10%.
Real Estate is safe too because the piece of property is always there. The actual annual return from rent may be not much as CD nowadays as the price is too high; but in long run the equity appreciation is what the real return is. |

if youve got half a million dollars to invest you souldnt be asking people on here what to do with it - get a proper advisor. But i say property as long as you live in a country with stable or rising market demand |

$500,000? Your much better off talking to a professional on this matter and not asking people online.
Go talk to someone with JP Morgan or something. |

Perhaps investing in stocks. Alternative fuels like fuel cell, solar, ethanol, wind, geothermic engergy...
this is the future!
I think that these kinds of stocks will really start paying off in 10 to 20 years time. |
