So you have $1,000,000....

**GBB** · 09-08-2009, 05:25 PM

Let's just say somehow you came into $1,000,000.
How would you go about investing this?

More specifically what % would you put in individual stocks, bonds, commodities, indexes, etc?

Isn't it have two chicks go down on you ? !

That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?

For income? Capital appreciation?

Capital appreciation.

Chicks dig money
Not all chicks
The kinda chicks that would double up on me do

Risky? Safe?

50,000 Lap dances.

**focus** · 09-08-2009, 05:51 PM

Nobody is buying shit, especially lap dances.

If you want to make or lose a lot of money, quit your job and trade and pray. If you want to live simply, buy bonds and cook a lot of rice.

Considering this is a hypothetical situation, I'm leaning more to the risky side.

Buy that ski area that is for sale in BC.

I'd get a shitty little dump at Alta and hold it until Brad Pitt figured out how cool Alta is. Then I'd sell it to some Hollywood asshole for $7,000,000. This investing thing is easy.

But thats what I would do. Seemd you could lock up a nice interest rate on a Millon dollar Deposit.

An extra 30 to 50K evry year for as long as you could stand it? While you continue to work would set me up nicely for retirement.

I could BLOW a million on stuff in 2 seconds if I started spending

**meatdrink9** · 09-08-2009, 07:13 PM

I'd invest in things I know about. Close to home. Businesses I could run or easily understand. I wouldn't risk it on anything I couldn't fully understand or had minimal control over.

Good advice.

This is an experiment we're doing for class, so I have quite a bit of leeway in what I can do. It can be a running experiment.

If you like, I can put you in touch with my financial adviser. His name is Punanni, and he posts here occasionally.

AIG stock has gone up 400% this year. Seriously.

Put 100k in a savings account, probably spend about 20k of it on toys trips whatever, use the remaining 80k to help pay expenses when times get tight, but still live thrifty, that should last me for ten or fifteen years at least.

And my great brilliant investment strategy...

Find someone smarter/more knowledgeable than I am, that has a good reputation for managing money, and pay them to manage the remaining 900k because if I tried to pull some brilliant risky investment moves I'd probably just fuck it up.

I might invest about 30k in firearms because I actually know enough to buy things that can only increase in value, as long as I don't really use them, other than that though, I wouldn't trust myself to invest that much coin.

Yea, if I started looking at land/houses, I'd start feeling poor pretty damn quick with only a "MEASLY" million.
