Investing money that fell into my lap...

[GM Man]

Due to some unforseen circumstances, I've come into some money. Now I know I could use it finish my 67 Camaro and make it a fun car, but I'm looking to invest it and make more off of it. I've been following the Invest thread and learned a lot from it. If you had say $150k to invest and no real bills, what would you do to make more money? Chic-Fil-A franchise, stock market, strip club? :lol: All kidding aside, I am serious and do want to make this money grow. Open to any ideas or suggestions. Thank you!

Investment advice from a car forum without a clear picture of of your actual finances will be worth exactly what you paid for it.

I'm sure you'll get a lot of good advice here as there is a lot of successful people. But Donnys advice is best.

Investing is not as complicated as most people assume but setting up the foundations and most importantly, a sound understanding of money will always prevail.

If I have any advice, don't rush a thing, you'll learn more from the top 20 investing books than you would in a finance degree, so get reading.
