The best way to do anything yourself is to learn something about it first. You'd be surprised at the thousands of books available on this one subject at your local library.\n\nBut most people spend more time deciding the color of their new car, than they do on a mutual fund advisor, for example. \n\nAre you really wanting to do this yourself, or are you asking about someone who is an expert who can do it for you?\n\nIf you invest in the stock market right now, or just buy into all the ETF's you can afford, it's a crap shoot, like rolling the dice, and the odds are probably not in your favor, whether you have an expert fund manager or not, because mutual funds are always "in" the market.\n\nThey say "Buy and Hold" for the long term is better, but that depends on when you get in, and what your definiton of "long term" is. \n\nThe Dow is now approaching all-time highs last seen in Jan 2000, so if your long-term definition is more than seven years, then you won't mind waiting another seven years for a profit.\n\nIn my opinion, the name of the game is capital preservation. When the risks are high, like right now, you get out of the stock and bond markets and park your cash in a interest bearing money market fund or CD or Treasury Bill.\n\nThis is simply not a good entry point for investors. Be patient, wait a few months, and you'll be able to buy much more stock a lot cheaper, the risks will be lower (even though they will seem higher), and your chance of success greater.\n\nIf you wish to research the “Buy and Hold Strategy” further, or perhaps trade yourself, I recommend two book titles. One is called "Which Is Better, Buy-and-Hold or Market Timing?" The other is "Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Market Timer?" They will give you plenty to think about.

If you dont plan on touching the money for a while, a CD would be good. They have interest rates around 4 percent.

Well both of course! It's good to save it and invest it into something that will generate more like a savings bond or mutual fund! But spending money can be important too, just don't spend too much and keep it balanced.

Usually you will get a higher interest rate with the larger CD, however unforseen circumstances could cost you alot more. If it were me I would invest it in one $5,000 CD and two $2,000 CD's and one $1,000 CD. This will allow you a better return while also allowing you the chance to withdraw early with minimal damage should you find yourself in a situation where you need the money. (If you need a K note then cash a K note, 2K then cash a 2K ect....)

For 2 million dollars there's not much I wouldn't do.

$1,000,000 does not go as far as it used too. I would invest it.

Use the $1,500 to invest in something, i.e. lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc., that you can turn around and use to make even more money.

I would have your money automatically withdrawn from you checking account when you get your payday deposit and have it go to a savings account somewhere that is difficult to access (difficult to transfer money back and forth).  Then, start asking around to friends and family for investment opportunities.  Hard money lending usually provides a good return, but you need to know a couple of hard money lenders.  Also, real estate developers typically make a good return, but make sure to see prior property perspectuses.  If you have not yet purchased a house, that is a good place to start.  \n\nRecommend that you read Rich Dad Poor Dad's book, Who took my money, and also the richest man in Babylon a classic.  Hope that helps.

Leave it.  its a very broad investment that has very little chance of being lost.  Sure, it may have bad days and good days, but over the long term it will only go up.

A lot of things could change in 13 years.  There may be a million factors that may either reduce the amount of money you inherit, or result in you inheriting no money.  I assume that the money is in some sort of financial instrument.  I have personally witnessed many individuals lose a large chunk of their savings in a small period of time.  Another thing that you must keep in mind is inflation.  Two million dollars may not be a whole lot in 13 years.\n\nEven if the investment grows at a greater rate than inflation, you will still need to plan ahead for it.  You still should save up and pay down your debts.  If you decide you practice poor financial habits, then you will most likely use that inheritance to dig yourself out of a mess instead of enjoying it as supplementary income.  \n\nMy advice to you is to ignore that inheritance and plan your finances as if you will not inherit any monies.  Learning good financial habits and sticking by them will help you in life, whether or not you do inherit money.

If your talking a single $20.00 bill, your wife or mothers birthday is a great investment. If you have $20.00 a week to spare, stick with the obvious. My choice would be a Mutual Fund. You would be suprised how quickly it will add up.

Buy a $1,000 Series I Savings Bond.  It's also one of the safest ways to invest.
