As you can see, you've already gotten a lot of advice that conflicts. What you do with that kind of money depends a lot on how old you are, what your current earning ability is, how much you've already got invested, if you have a 401(k) or IRA (or both), how much risk you're willing to take on in order to have growth, etc.

Even the financial advisors here don't fully agree with each other. How do you know who is right? Before you commit a nickel to a financial advisor, get yourself an elementary education in personal finance. Believe this: no one is going to care as much about your money as you are. No one is going to watch it as closely as you are, especially someone who's got multiple accounts to look after. So get yourself a foundation, so you'll know if someone is actually giving you good advice or not. Personally, I recommend "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need" by Andrew Tobias. It'll give you an overview of everything you need to know (stocks, bonds, real estate, insurance, etc.). Then you can decide if you need a deeper education in anything. Good luck!

You can put it in an asian bank (some specific banks which I know some of them) and get paid about 17-19% per year without depleting the amount itself.It is real!

Diversify, best way to prepare you for whatever the market throws at you. Remember the 2/50 rule. Over the last 50 years, there have only been 2 years when the stock and the bond market have been down the same year. By owning both, 96% of the time, at least some part of your money will be growing.

Use this as a guide:

5% - Cash, in a money market account, some pay 4.75% right now
20% - Bonds - Corporate if you interest is not taxed or is in a IRA, and Municpal Bonds if the money is taxed.
45% - Dividend Paying Stocks - Look for Stocks that pay 1.8% or more as a dividend. This way you make money 2 ways - on the profit of the company from dividends, and from the growth in value of the stock, or their share price increase. - These stocks are called Growth and Income Stocks
30% - Growth paying stocks - Look for stock that will pay you primararly from their price increase in the stock market.

For Income, keep the dividends from the stocks and the yields or interest from the bonds.

If you do this, you can expect you money to grow at about 10% per year over a 10 year period.

As far as what to buy, mutual funds are the easiest. Go to your local library and look for the MorningStar information. That can give you all the information you need. Look for the following:

Income or Bond - Corporate Bond funds or Municipal Bond funds for the state you live in.

Growth and Income - Look for Funds that are listed under "Moderate Appreciation" "Balanced" "Large Cap Value" Remember, look for funds that have a yield that is over 1.8%.

For Growth Stocks, look for "Mid Cap" Small Cap, and Multi Cap. Buy a 1/3rd of each of your 30%

As for which specific fund to choose, look for the one with the best 5 year and 10 year number. That means they are good in the long term, and can handle a market drop (the 5 year number)

Remember, if your money starts to move by 5% to 10% out of these proportions (you bonds go from 20% down to 10%), sell you investments that have grown, and rebalance your portfolio to reflect the changes. This way you money will have money in some growing area all the time.

As a financial planner, This is THE easyiest way to grow you money, with the minimal stress.

You should really look into CDs. Spread it around and see which ones work. If you find a short term CD that yeilds a high interest rate, then put most of it in there. I dont have a crystal ball but lately rates have been going up! That way if they go up, your money isnt locked away for a few years. Also, you can have the interest transfered to your account so you can spend it. Or another option is to put most of it into a CD but then put a good amount into a liquid account like Money Market. It earns a much higher interest rate and you can deposit and withdrawl at any time. I hope this helps you out!

I would say income property, and/or loan it to established businesses here and there, as variety of them, because one may do more than the other, each at a percentage rate per month. That's all I can think of. Good Luck!

I suggest you to invest in the Stock Market with the help of a Portfolio Manager like myself if you can afford it or at least a Financial Advisor.

Asuming your Portfolio Manager is a moron and he only makes 10% after a year you will get $32,500.00 the first year to survive and you will reinvest the rest.

Asuming you make the same 10% the second year you now can take $34,125.00 to live a little better and you reinvest the rest.

With this method you will have more money every year.

The first years are hard but after a while you will spend $650,000.00 PER YEAR.

you need to be talking to a financial advisor...but i definitely say you need to diversify it...put some in a plain old savings account or cd-some are earning 5% right now, and that is a respectable return, and put some in investments. Government bonds are a good bet, too.


jasonfcampbell
The planner is correct. The only thing is that if you do not want to lose the principal amount you want to look at bonds that are rated as BBB, A, AA, AAA. These are the best bonds to buy. Also no risk securities set up the government are always attractive (t-bonds and t-bills). The only thing about a bond excluding the govs is that some bonds are "callable" you do not want that it means a company can buy back their bonds any time they wish.

Stocks are great but you have a serious chance at losing the game, especially if you are not diversified properly, to do this you have to buy 20-30 different stocks from different sectors.

The plan that I would use if I were you is putting some into an IRA (this is for your retirement), then I would place upwards of 60-70% in risk free securities, and the rest I would put into a mutual fund (this is a pre-diversified pool of stocks).

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Invest in a high yield CD and just take the interest. Of course if you have 650K to invest I don't think the interest will be enough for a quality life style.

Diversify it – in multiple currencies and in multiple courtiers
My Major gain was from Real Estate and Gold.
Be careful in both – high risk.

you have a couple of choices.

1.) Real estate
2.) Bonds
3.) Stocks that pay quarter dividends.
4.) Cd.

Or a combinatino of all 4.

There are great investing groups where you can learn how to make your cash work for you. Create passive income not by spending your money but investing it in ways that you earn money from it.

Educate yourself in real estate and businesses that create passive or leveraged incomes.

Read some books,
T.Harv Ecker, The Millionaire Mind, The inner game of wealth' for one. Buy the book and go to his Millionaire mind Intensive Seminar. I did and highly recommend it.

Buy the book and register for the seminar.
If you do want to go and register before the end of June they have a tremendous deal where they offer 2 free tickets by using a code #381421 given to me at the event.

Education is the key to success. I went to this event in LA and it is was worth my time and invenstment! I would like to go back to other seminars they offer so your interest would appreciated and if you use this number you receive, the free seats. and I recieve the credit toward a future event. Thanks.

Special Limited Time offer for 2 free tickets to the Millionaire Mind Intensive. Reference # 381421.

If you can take a risk with the money, then be a venture capitalist or angel investor for small business.

The investment strategy completely depends on the risk you take.

if you are a 0% risk taker invest in debt funds which matches the bank interest rates,

if you are a risk taker of returns then invest in MIP, In this there is no risk on capital you invested but the returns will depend on performance of the fund.

You could send it to me and I'll send you a dollar a month.

Or you should seek the advice of an investment firm, banks can do it but not well, try an agency that specializes in a variety of funds, please don't try it on your own. (I use Fidelity Investments myself, but don't take that as an endorsement of their services, they are just where I had a 401K that I rolled over and there is an office conveniently located by my home.)
