Monacutest what did you end up doing? I hope you didn't buy KO since it is now at $38. If you bought 1000 shares of it you would be down $40,000. If you went with the Vanguard mutual fund you...

Nothing wrong with the above; I hold all in my portfolio. You want large cap, prefferably dividend paying stocks for your intentions. Take a look at CVX, MSFT, as a couple other solid choices.
