What would you do with a million dollars?

I would definitely start talking to a business manager and stock manager. I'd hold it in a money market account until I could re-invest it in stocks. If I got it while I was young, I would invest in more high-risk stocks, given that the losses from that would be minimal in comparison to the net amount it would generally give the opportunity to make a lot more money. If I was far older and looking at retirement years, I would probably use the money to retire with a nice home, and invest the rest in low-risk stocks.
