This is the best advice you'll get.
Otherwise, how much risk are you willing to take?
Little risk? Go with something like a Vanguard long-term tax exempt fund. Or buy some blue chip stocks that pay a dividend and sit on 'em.
Decent ammount of risk? Buy some well known stocks like Ely Lilly, Pfizer, Cisco, Wells Fargo etc.
A lot of risk? Well...I can give you a heads up on some cheap stocks, but buyer beware.
