What would you do if $200k was magically inherited to you? How would you do it? How much would you expect to earn?

      I would put some in a low risk mutual fund, pay off my wife's school loans, and buy me a nice street bike.

    Won't spend in Caisnos. I'd buy Traffic, High PR old domains, some more traffic give some part of it in charity and keep the rest in bank.

    but in all seriousness, i'd take a small portion of that and run alot of tests. And when those tests start to bring in a profit, i'd scale those suckers up to no end. BOOM instant millionaire.

    Invest it in facebook stock..

    I put a couple threads up about 2 weeks ago about this.

    Everyone on this board knows people are making nice cash on their facebook pages, and Zuckerberg is figuring out how to make it off mobile.

    I bought just a few shares about a month ago it was around 37.5, it just went over 45 today, I expect by the end of the year it will close to 60, if not more.

    If I had $200,000 that's exactly were I would put it..

    So many people on that site, and they're all coming of age. This is just the beginning.

    I would use it on Trading FOREX and CFD's (if you live out of USA as CFD's are not allowed in US). For an experienced trader the returns would be very high.

    Do not buy single stocks, you could end up buying high and selling low. The way to go would be to trade on margins and not to tie down your capital by owning stocks outright.

    As an example:

    If you managed to go Long on Facebook shares at $25.00 about 3 months ago at $20 per point, your total outlay would have cost you 2.5k and if you closed your position at $45, you would have made 2000x$20=$40000 - this shows the attraction of margin trading. But you ought to be warned that this type of trading should only be used by experienced traders.

    Invest it in something, either a low cost mutual fund, real estate if that's your area of expertise especially considering the market right now, a diversified investment portfolio or start a company if you have a good idea.

        I will open a school for small children, and will teach them how to use their mind to create their destiny rather than learning and getting instruction to be a slave.I will teach them universal laws and metaphysics. I will have best staff to bring the best out of every single child.


        and rest of the money I will make my parents financial stable so they never have to worry about spending.

    You should buy a house outright in cash for about 150k of it. Then decide hat to do with the rest.

      Personally: Pay off debt, buy a condo, invest in mutual funds

      In terms of Internet Marketing, if I had 200,000 k would probably hire some employees, start another site, maybe two or three, and have other people create content. Have them be able to work remotely from home - that way you don't have to have an office and that gives them the flexibility to work at home.

    Paid traffic to CPS affiliate offers with ~1k daily budget - big niches like muscle/wl. It's pretty much impossible to fail -> profit about 10k/day. Meanwhile travel a lot, including to places where prostitution is legal. Win.

    Trying to invest the money in a legit business/stocks or buying a house = big fail. At least for me.

    Second best option, just travel around like a boss for a few years and blow the money on having fun. Worth it. After that you will be pretty screwed up and lazy with no future however, so who knows.

    You have a few options:

    A) Invest in Real Estate - Brick and Mortar is safe

    B) Buy shares in a company you are passionate about

    C) Learn CPA and play with $10,000 - $20,000 in paid traffic, put the rest in the bank.

    D) Email me and I'll tell you

    I'd buy domains and domains only. Build a nice portfolio of domains costing $5k-$20k - they'll only go up in value, especially snapping up 1 worders, 3 letter domains, etc.

    Short answer = Buy 3 or 4 condos cash that are in foreclosure, rent them out for $1,200-ish per month for the next five years - then decide whether I want to keep renting or sell them for double what I paid.

    Five year return = $288K on the rents, plus $400k if I sell them.

    I wouldn't spend it on Internet Marketing.

    Take $20.000 of it as investment budget. Save the rest on the bank.
    Then pay an HQ CPA Coacher and start making the big bucks. Sounds easy yeah but difficult

    Invest part of it in savings bonds, and put some in a 401(k). The rest would invest in a few businesses.
