Title: I'm posting this from an anonymous account, for obvious reasons. I just sold my company and have 2 million dollars in the bank. What now? I basically have nobody to consult. It's a business I bought for 90k that just kind of swelled up really fast, and I'm really not set up to manage this kind of money. I'm canadian, the economy seems to be going to hell down south and I'm sure it's gonna hit here soon and I have no idea who to take advice from.<p>My bank is trying to get me to put all my money into money market mutual funds while I wait, my accountant tells me I should diversify, get some cashable GICs while I wait, and start looking into stocks, as well as investing in insurance companies since they usually guarantee your investment (so long as they don't go bankrupt). I used to just put all my money into a high interest savings account at ING and collect the 3% (which is good enough for me to live on at this point).<p>Any advice to offer? Any good reading (canadian-specific would be good)? Any good software for mac to manage all this? :)
