If I had a million dollars, and it had to be invested into something (not just spent), and done so by today, I imagine that might limit what I could do with it, since some transactions might take longer to commit.

However, if the promise of committal was allowed, then I think I would do the following:

(I'm not sure how I would break this down, so, for the sake of this exercise, I won't throw out numbers or percentages, just what I would invest in and why.)

REAL ESTATE

This could include undeveloped commercial or residential land to potentially do something to and then resell, some cheaper vacation properties, farm land, and potentially a home. I would not buy apartments or other types of property for long term rent or lease.

PRECIOUS METALS

I've been interested in purchasing physical gold and silver for a long time now, and using a part of the million dollars would give me an opportunity to do so in a big way. I like the hedge against major economic downturns that gold provides, along with its wide acceptance as something exchangeable for something needful.

STEEM

I would definitely buy more STEEM, maybe enough to make me a true whale here, if an exchange would allow it. since there seems to be limits. I might consider bitcoin or a lesser known one like BAT, but as I'm not that keen on crypto in general, I probably wouldn't put a whole lot into it.

BUSINESS/START UP

I might invest in some sort of business to either run or be a silent partner in. I would not buy stocks in companies, though. I'd rather have a close and personal relationship with a partner or management rather than being one of many investors.

MEDICAL RESEARCH

I'd probably give money to some sort of medical research, particularly dealing with incurable diseases, or ones that are prominent, like the various cancers.

MICRO INVESTMENTS

I might actually look at investing money in people where smaller amounts would actually lift them out of destitution and provide them with education or business opportunities that leads to gainful employment. These would not be gifts, but I don't think I would charge much of any interest.
