[Capt. Fantastic]

If you are asking for someone who has actually faced this, er, problem, let me offer:

(1) Put it in a brokerage account of your choosing. I chose Wells Fargo, told them the risk I was willing to accept, and watched the numbers online. Be forewarned that the vig is not trivial but once it is recovered all is good. And now is the time to buy... I read... since we are at the bottom of the current correction.

(2) Keep your eyes open for opportunities. I chose oil as detailed elsewhere on the board. Before giving anyone any money have an attorney set things up. You might even want to form an LLC for "investments."

(3) Whatever you do, forget about the money. In ten years it will have grown. If you were to, for instance, buy a bunch of toys with it now these will all have been reduced to rubble by that time. This is the hardest part.
