Looking for advise on what to do with 250K? Won't need to touch it for 15 to 20 years. TIA

Casino. Black. If you lose, you have 15-20 years to make it back up.

First, check to see if your credit score is over 900. (In case you don't know what credit scores are.)

Buy some nice clothes and ask Tiger Wood's ex-wife for a date. She's got lots of money and is lonely.

An annuity if you want to be safe.

I'd take 50k to the casino. I could triple it in 5 hours, seriously

Hire a good financial advisor so you don't have to ask people on the internet what to do with that kind of money!

20 year inflation indexed treasuries are selling at 1.5% interest.

I'd go with that. Doesn't seem like a lot of interest, but its inflation protected.

Is your house paid off?

ETA: I'm not necessarily saying pay your house off with that either...

Become a sports agent and sign Patrick Peterson as your first client.

Give him cash to blow until he gets paid and then collect a 3% agent fee on his 27 million dollar signing bonus.

You could buy 2,000 ounces of silver at approximately $86,000 with current spot prices and premiums accounted for. Wait until the mania phase is well underway when silver spikes to a minimum of $500 per ounce, which would give you a million dollars to buy some real estate (rental, single family homes) at even cheaper prices than today's within a 3-5 years. The rest of your $164,000 could be divided amongst a variety of precious mining stocks, oil company stocks, Potash mining stocks, alternative energy company stocks and some commodities that are going to go up in value.

Besides, when you're doing well and most people around you aren't, make sure you have plenty of ammunition, food stocked away, because if you can't protect it, you don't own it, if they take it away. Welcome to the Socialist States of America.
