re: emo dood

CDARS program for the first 50 million.

Then I'd buy a sh!tload of individual issue GNMAs each year and ladder it so I am always buying new GNMAs each year.

I'd also own a ton of treasury inflation protection in VIPSX. I'd prefer to own individual I bonds but I cannot figure out why there is a max a person can buy each year and the max is so little.

Buy a lot of munis that are go, not revenue based.

I throw in a little VTI, VWO, EFA, and VNQ and call it a day.

It may not be the best way to go but I'd be able to sleep at night and only have to worry about spending the money.

You'd have to have a wicked VO2 Max to swim through coins daily? Would it be with trainers? Would it be a 10k?

I think my bank has something with 5% APY for a $10k or more I can't remember 10 yr CD.

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

I have 10k in CDs right now that are getting 5%. I dont know anything about investing but if I had over a billion I would put it where ever is the least amount of risk since I wouldn't need any more.

Which is one of the many reasons you will never have $1.4 billion.

I just give it to my friend Guido Scarnelli, and he just holds it for me. Whenever I need some of it, he just gives me a little here and a little there. I help him out with small jobs. He's a good guy. Should I refer you to him?

You don't need a million dollars to do that. Look at my cousin. He's broke and he don't do shit.

re: emo dood

I'd spend it on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I'd just squander.
