I don't do much REI, oh yeah, I got lucky and bought a home in 1995 and sold it in 2002 for a whooping deal in SF, but I knew I was lucky--not a expert like people in BP.

I'd rather not be the typical american and come back with some italian sports car but perhaps use cash that's in the bank to make an investment in my future and get me into an exciting career for once.So the question I'm posing to the experts, if you were just starting and had a giant lump sum of money (roughly 220k after taxes) to play with in a market that isn't really inflated what would you do?

My suggestion, read books and talk to experts that know their stuff and are willing to coach you in your endeavors!
