Treasuries, CDs, et cetera. You should be able to build, over a few years, a decent rainy-day fund on $300,000 a year.

The return on treasuries and CDs is ridiculously low, less than 3%. Bond funds are not much better.

Unless you're talking short term, put it in a total stock market index fund and forget about it.
