QUESTION FOR SMART MONEY TYPE PEOPLE

[steve dave]

I have some spare cash laying around.  I consider myself pretty knowledgeable re. my investments as I work in the industry.  However, I would be open to some sort of insider'y type investment advice that borders on the very fringes of legality if you have any.  Prefer the kind with huge upside and little if any risk.  Please post ideas below.  tia.

Arrow to clarify where to post ideas:

[TheShocker]

1. Dig a hole in the ground. Preferably outside and not too deep (don't want the Chinese to find it).

2. Put your money in the hole

3. Cover your money with delicious dirt.

4. Wait for 5 minutes - 6 years

5. Enjoy your money tree!

Dude... Contrary to popular belief, the Chinese are not directly opposite us.  You'd best be worried more about the Indians, or worse yet, the fighting Sri Lankans from getting it.

False. We already killed all of the Indians with disease-infested blankets (seriously, how dumb were those guys!) and starting a word with the letters "S" and "r" is completely preposterous so I'm going to assume that you made that word up.

Coffee can.

I'm hearing fantastic things about this up and coming company called In Pursuit of Perfection, LLC.  I guess it's been killing it lately.  I'd look into it if I were you.

[Brock Landers]

You could start registering Limited Liability Corporations with ridiculously ironic names and hope that some kind of secret deal emerges where your corporation would be the recipient of a large payout.

You're welcome!!!

2 IPP LLC jokes within a minute of each other. Interesting.

you should consider a broth IRA

[TAFNA Dude]

Company A will drop X amount of points tomorrow after another stupid decision by management.  Sell today.

NO!

But to answer the original question....

Put 5K in a Roth IRA.  That's the max for the year.  All earnings grow tax free.  It's a great deal unless the USA wises up and dumps the IRS for the Fair Tax.

The guy who created that character got the idea while watching old tapes of TMNT on the chronics.

Here is a money maker that skirts the gray area.  I had a friend in college who would sign up for the BMG/Columbia house CD clubs.  He was from south Africa and would get tall the CD's he could for a penny.  Then sign up with different names like we all did I'm sure.  Then he would mail them to South Africa to friends who would sell them for like $20 each.  Made some good money in college with that little scam.  Could work with DVD's too.

Make bigger/extra mortgage payments?

[yoga-lika_abana]

I would recommend betting some money on some ponies that are sure wins. jmo.

[jeffy]

Make bigger/extra mortgage payments?

This is solid advice.  Since returns on investments are low right now, throwing extra money at the mortgage is a guaranteed return of whatever your interest rate is (plus some). 

I've also got this mutual fund that I've got some money in.  It's the USAA Precious Metals and Minerals fund.  It doesn't have gold, etc in it, but rather moreso the companies that deal in it.  It's got a solid long term track record.  I'm actually up 7% on the year.

Sounds  Mailing stuff not so much.  Maybe becoming a drug mule out of South America.  You could just be an investor and recruit the mules to swallow you product to get it into the U.S.  If it fails you could then get them on locked up abroad.
