You simply don't have the knowledge. It's a lot easier to learn hard lessons about the market when you're playing with 5,000 instead of 1,000,000. I'll tell you this much:
With 1,000,000, you could do much worse than buy the maximum allowed ibonds. 30,000 electronic and 30,000 from the bank will only equal 6% of your portfolio, and is certainly reasonable.
Investing 1-5% in precious metals such as silver or gold may also prove to be quite prudent. You can invest in CEF or GLD if you don't want the physical metal.
For muni bonds, you're probably better off with a fund
