So what do you do with large sums of money?

If you don't need it for two years and the stock market isn't your thing I'd suggest buying a CD from INGdirect. It's basically a fixed rate savings account that you can't touch for a fixed period of time, and ING's interest rates are excellent.

Good luck,
Matt

agreed - just spend a bit of time on bankrate.com looking at rates. and remember you are sacrificing liquidity for return.
