re: If you had $1 million what would you do with it?

Exactly my point as well. Investing in diversified assets is a whoole lot less risky than starting and investing it all in your own business.

Also to the fella who said his finance teacher would invest in into 8% muni's.. Find another teacher. A) you'do be lucky to find yields of half that for 30 yr maturities. B) when those bonds mature, he gets $1mill vs us other guys wh invested and got a 7% compounded return and ended up with $4mill.
