ben, without getting too much into it, there are plenty of options out there. however, with a large sum i'd most likely split it up a bit. why put all ur eggs in one basket?
that being said, there are several places to put ur money. for example, i run / manage a private mortgage fund that regularly returns ~9%. some return more or less depending upon risk of the investment. remember, there are some fund out there that have an irr (internal rate of return) of at least 50%. jc flowers for example recently backed out of sallie mae (i believe) because it was returning an unsatisfactory 14%. there is something out there for ya, but it depends on the risk that you are willing to take.
