MY first post!

I think you need to go with an established financial firm like Goldman Sachs or Credit Suisse etc.... They are accustomed to working with high net-worth individuals.

Good point with going with an established firm. But I have also seen several of the shows that show employees/brokers from these firms stealing also.

I suggest going LOCAL first. Look around for a good local financial services firm. And like several others have said- get reference's.

Luv watching this show!

Just as a heads up the CBS Series Person of Interest is going to be about Wall St. tonight....they've been previewing it as, "Taking on the toughest street there is, Wall St."

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

I have use the freezer to hide money also. Thieves would be too busy stealing the tv to look for money there.

I tell people that I do business with that I believe in Frontier Justice just so they don't commence to doing anything stupid that's gonna get 'em hurt.

Especially people workin' in or around my house and property.

But I advise anybody that wants me to make my mark on paper the same way.

If you win a mega jackpot worth multiple millions and you don't trust anyone with your money, there is a organization called CDARS that will put your money in simple CD's and spread out all your money(under 250 G's each) in numberous banks that are all FDIC insured. And you will only work with one bank and one account number. Of course the interest rates won't be anywhere near what an investor can do for you, but if you don't care about that and just want peace of mind. That may just be the way to go. I know that is what I will be doing if i'm blessed enough to hit it big one day.

Thats a great way to be both safe and help the economy. MOST of those would be small or medium community banks that have strong local ties. A 250k CD helps their bottom line. They lend based on depoisits. More deposits, more lending. Most often they lend to the local community, its a great win-win.
