To become your own central bank, invest in hard assets like gold, silver, energy, and real estate, and hold plenty of cash, including physical cash. And even look to own some assets internationally, like a foreign account and even some real estate.

Etf low fee indexed funds...do some small and mid cap

keep 1-2 months in a money market account in case you get laid off and you need to cover bills that unemployment doesn't cover ...since unemployment covers about 60%

and a lot of independent fee only portfolio managers won't even take you in if you only have 30grand to invest to be honest only the wire-houses like Lynch and they will fill your portfolio with equities that give them the most commission

Do some Vanguard and DFA Etf's

Yea, as someone mentioned earlier, mutual funds are pointless and with the rise of index funds and ETFs, they are on their way out like stock brokers. Look into Vanguard index funds. Their expense ratios are only like 10 basis points and you're going to make money in the long-run. Small-cap index funds return much better than the overall market, but are obviously much riskier in the short-term. If it is just money that you aren't going to touch for a long time, I would go that route. Right now, though, I would wait a bit until the market corrects itself a little bit. You don't want to get in when its high.

Ok breh let me show you some love

set up a trading account and post back here when you do
whenever I have a good buy
I will send you a shout
matter fact
do this
BUY MERCADO LIBRE (MELI)
the ebay of south America just starting to grow as they have less than double digit % of the SA market BUT
-1-2 million signups a month
-revenue out the ass
-has mercado pago (paypal equivalent) making money out the ass
-starting to connect to retailers
-really revving up their mobile platform (gearing for social networking marketing revs?)
-Virtually no competition and they are strong believers in moats (don't believe the ebay/amazon hype, they got this shyt on lock)
currently low $90's
-matter fact ebay owns 18% of it and the ML links to ebay on their site for US purchases (I am sure ebay or amazon or google will buy them eventually)
-no institutional owner has sold a share despite short fukkery (currency shenanigans)
-they give ever growing dividends

at some point soon, the shorts will stop their fukkery and the Kraken will be released and it will be $150-200


Also
keep an eye out for the alibaba ipo, the sky is the limit with that one

I have a little different but related question. I apologize in advance for going off topic. Lets say youre about to come into a great deal of money (whatever a great deal of money is to you) but you dont wanna take a huge hit on taxes whats the best thing to do? Ive been reading on forbes and other places that registering your company & funds off shore is the best move. Does anyone have real world experience in this

Yea, most large IPOs are managed by groups of banks. Usually one of them is the primary though
