Maybe.
Nothing wrong with asking for some preliminary advice though.... this isn't a pokemon board. I'm sure there are some people with some informed opinions here.

edit: nm this your from germany i dont know about your taxes [and someone mentioned real estate, if you know what your doing you can make even more there, and one of the best investments you can make also as to put a lot of money in a house for yourself to live in, you can get a lot of tax breaks from selling a house youve been living in ]

This all really depends on how old you are, and if your inheritance is enough to retire on right now, or you want to put the money away for future retirement.
Most of all take your time and don’t make any rash decisions! Quote: “A fool and his money are soon departed.” Ask your friends or a companion at work who is doing well with their investments to speak to one of their financial advisors for advise. You will need someone you can trust. Take some of your inheritance and invest in stocks, mutual funds or bonds. The NYSE and Nasdaq are doing very well right now. You can also invest online with one of the brokerage firms. But please do your research first and educate yourself and don’t put all of your money in one investment. Diversify! After you’ve made some sound decisions, invest in real estate, such as a home for yourself and possibly some type of rental property. If and when you buy, try to buy the least expensive house or apartment in a nice area. For rental property, try to buy in a moderate area that’s not overvalued, but is coming up in value. “Location, location, location.” I hope this helps. Good luck with your newfound fortune.

i am 24, i am living germany because i am in the Army. I am getting out shortly and i am moving back to the states. My wife and i inherited about $8,700,000. So i guess that's enough to retire on. I am going to buy one house so far and rent it out. I'm looking for some companies like was stated before. Thanks for your help and advise. And i wont be foolish with this. I have learned my lesson with small amounts of money, so this shouldnt be a problem.

those american funds look good... cant go wrong with vanguard either. i say... set up some sort of rothIRA, and play with the rest. look into alot of stocks, and balance with some bonds and other world market reits and etfs. just make sure you have a very diverse portfolio and get ready for swings in the market. over a long period of time, you will end up on top, just be patient and stick to your guns for the long run i was handed over alot of savings from my mom and i am in the middle of getting it all straitened out with my schwab adviser. look into schwab. i like them. i like their philosophy. barchart.com is a cool place to research. so is googles finanace section. oh and with all that money i would definitly find a good CPA and watch your taxes... and explore all the tax options with regards to anything you do with your money. |

That's freaking ridiculous. I hate the way the government works sometimes. The inheritance is something his family worked for. THey've already been taxed on whatever money they made and now aother 50%???
