To explain how serious this new issue is; I currently have $1 million in cash sitting in my checking accounts (not such a smart place) and I have a $2 million line of credit making the total I have to invest #3 million.The $1 million has been sitting in my account for the last 5 months and I would love to be exactly like you and put my money to work, but I don't BECAUSE I INVEST IN ONLY SURE THINGS.

In the past I used to chase shiny objects and I always want to try something new, but I know the best thing to do when investing is to make a plan and stick to it.
