How would you invest one million bucks today?

Russia's magnetism can be summed up in two words: "cheap assets."

Russia is still the largest country in the world, in terms of land area. The expanse covers 11 time zones and nearly every conceivable type of landscape, from frozen tundra to hot deserts, from lush wet lowlands to high dry mountains, from dense forests to open plains.

And buried amidst all that are rich veins of natural resources - Russia is a veritable storehouse of Mother Nature's useful goodies. Russia is the largest, or among the largest, producers of palladium, platinum, diamonds, nickel and gold. Russia is also rich in oil and gas. Rosneft, for example, has more proven oil reserves than Exxon. It's bigger than any oil company in the world on this basis save for its sister company Lukoil. It is also the world's biggest producer of natural gas.

ideas plz.

1) travel to foreign countries
2) hire skilled talent
3) fly back to america
4) offer talent to american corporations and people at big discounts.
5) hire well spoken americans to sell these products/services
5) profit millions more.

Bunch of smart Americans have already done that btw with manufacturing, it services, call centers, film production, and medical procedures.

Why u think i'm flying to the islands later this year to register a corporation.

(most people wanna make money the lazy way. this requires "effort", so it's beyond the reach of most fat americans with massive debt. hence the trips to casinos. ).

I'd put half of it in gold bars and I'd invest the other half in real estate rental properties near college campuses.

1 million dollars - well unlike one of the other posts - 1 million is still a good amount of money - anyone who says it is not, simply does not understand how much more it is worth that 1,000.00.

look, the rule of seven applies here - meaning, if you can get 10% on your money, then every 7 years or so you will double it in value - today 1million, 7 years from now 2 million, 14 years 4 million - etc...

based on this, you can select the amount of time you want to invest and then come to grips with the idea that you will still want to work during the first and perhaps even the second 7 year cycle. once you are done, you can choose to live off the interest as long as your speding and cost of living options are set at a realistic level.

People tend to spend more when they have more - very common - but sometimes very foolish. In today's market - 1 million that is converted to 2 or 4 million in a period of 7 to 14years is an amazing amount of money to live on. After all, bread is still cheap as well was other necessary items to survive. (p.s. a lamborghini is not a necessity) ;-)
