    I would invest in many things, but equities would not be one of them.

    Bank most of it. We have bills coming up, like "summerization" of our boat along with a new boat prop, our yearly AAA membership, our yearly boat insurance and on and on.

    I'm going to have the trim on my house painted. The painter can then buy food, pay bills, buy gas; whatever. It puts the money into the local economy which is what it's intended to do.

    Oh, yes, and I still have some, but I would not buy more at this time. I am in a quandry as to what should be done. Do you understand inflation within the market?

    I have to replace the gas line to the heating system and replace most of the ducting under the house.
    I was thinking about adding a couple of dumbells to my “armory” but they’ve gone up in the last 2 months from around a buck a pound to about $2.25 per pound. Oh well, I probably wouldn’t have had much leftover after doing the ducting anyway.

    Better to save up for another thing I have to do to the house.
