Cheap house in SLC. Cheap house in Summit County. Cheap house in Socal, near Mammoth. Cheap house near Hood, for the summer. Cheap house in Whistler. Don't need to buy a place in VT, my parents got that covered. Good car for snow/mountains. Some new pow skis. New camera gear. Something nice for my girlfriend. Invest a bunch. When my investments pay off (hopefully) have more money to buy shit, donate some.

I read the title as "you have 10 dollars, what now?" then read the first response and thought he was joking...

If I had 10 dollars, I'd probably buy me a burrito.

I would invest it in a tanking Australian company that would bounce back and make me a billion dollars.  Then I would post about my new house, cars, and model girlfriend on Newschoolers.com.

There's one error in your logic...you are assuming that the reason you have doubled your money is because you made the right moves. What you fail to realize is that the Dow and the S&P are both up like 50% from the recent bottom, meaning your performance has not been anything truly amazing.

Plus, placing all of your money into one asset is the worst move in the books. Haven't you ever heard the most important rule of investing? Diversify, Diversify, Diversify. Plus, silver is over valued due to its safe nature and will be really fucked when the inflation talk does not come to fruition due to timely rate hikes and investors begin to move their money out of safe investments and into the markets.

silver is a good trade

if the economy tanks, silver goes up
if inflation rises, silver goes up
if gold rises, silver outperforms it
its used in industrial uses, so it goes up naturally

in fact i bought silver just before going on vacation and while on vacation for 17

16.73 and 16.81

and now silver is worth 18.12, or if you bought the ETF i have....its sitting at 17.80 or so.

Thats a 6.49% return over vacation.

Buy a really sick SG glass tube, salt slide, and a huge salt dry pipe. Buy 10 ounces of chronic, each ounce different strain.

Buy a place in whistler, use the rest to live there comfortably for as long as possible.
