If it's retirement, just put it in a target fund based on the year you plan to retire. Almost every brokerage has it. I think I'm in the Fidelity Freedom 2045 fund. They are incredibly diverse and adjust as you get older. Yes they aren't fancy, but it's easy and probably end up providing much better returns than if you went at it on your own.

The only thing to watch for is expense ration on these. Vanguard is probably the best at this and carry some of the lowest out there, although Fidelity is not far behind.
