Ok, all good advice. But i stick by my advice to sit on the money for now. It’s like winning the lottery on a smaller scale of course. Pro’s advise the winners to not make any major decisions for like 6 months or so. I have seen too many empty store fronts to recommend going into the restaurant/deli business. Unless highly motivated with a lot of emotional investment do not start a business now. AS far as the stock market, I think now that the fed isn’t going to do any more lowering, the market will fall. Gold will rise accordingly, but it will take a few years. 6 months from now the direction of the economy will be more clear.
