If you had a million dollars to invest, where would you invest it and why there?
What would be the safest investment with the most interest and still be able to get at it relatively quick with little or no fees or fines?
If you have a million dollars, I can help for a small fee...
Sorry - couldn't resist :o)
Ya’ beat me to it.
I would invest the million dollars in things that the Caesar can not confiscate.
Improving myself and others through education, for one.
Paying off debts.
Even better, tithing ten percent to my church and donating the remainder to ministries that help other people. You would be surprised at the out-of-this world rates of return that investing in God pays out.
i’ll hold it for you
I would buy a million dollars of gold and put it in a pirate chest.
Real estate.
I would start a fund to help conservative writers publish and keep the fund going with the proceeds.
Heck no!... I'd buy the biggest, smokingest, carbon belching SUV I could find and drive it up and down Market Street with the biggest ****-eating grin I could manage on my face.
The rest I would waste.
The stock market and Nigerian e-mail scams.
If you are in it for at least 10 years I’d buy land.
They aren’t making anymore of it.
I would invest it in securities backed by sub-prime mortgages.
How much lower could they go?
(kidding!)
start a bank of DOT.COM, name myself CEO an President, issue a million shares to myself, then do an IPO and retire a multi-millionaire on someone else’s dime!!!
Real property.
I’d also like to build a new church building in our parish, but I’m not sure a million bucks would be enough...
Carbon offsets.
Treasury bills. Can’t beat them for liquidity and safety. Yield isn’t quite so hot. But it’s still higher than what they get in both Euroland and Japan. The corporate debt market offers higher yields, but is extremely illiquid and kind of risky, given the recent tumult around the credit markets (related to Fortune 100 companies borrowing huge sums of money and keeping this debt off the books).
Start a Ponzi Scam ooH, I mean Fund
