    Oh I'm sorry, I just wasn't built that way. My eyes glaze over. It's dull!
    I don't understand these people that have sooo much money they don't know what to do with it.
    I'm glad I don't have it to squirrel & worry about.
    I'd just travel the world with it & not give a fig :D
    One day, tomorrow won't come.

    It's not a bad way to be. I don't think I could contemplate an "all or nothing" investment.

    However, I'm pretty sure that the OP was asking for investment info, not metaphysical musing. :)

    Okay, I'll be quiet :(

    Maybe the op could invest in a racehorse! If he's minted. Maybe he's not THAT minted. Okay okay I won't interfere.
    I'm just saying... if there were money to burn... I have connections & a very good jockey & deals could potentially be made.
    That's all.
    I've nothing else to say.

    You'll lose a lot of money very quickly with zero chance of clawing money back.
    Well that's the experience my father had!

  • Some people have a strong opinion about binary options, but it's not black and white.

    Don't go there, even if not an outright scam like never able to withdraw funds. I worked alongside professional option traders at banks and not one ever made a consistent gain trading standard products for themselves at home. Let alone binary options where fluctuations or source prices used by the platform for settlement are probably rigged or dodgy.
