Isn't Freeport expected to open at the end of March?

Edit: it looks like it is partially open now. I agree completely on the sentiment, but i struggle with the fact, that the downside was so steep in the last 3 months, that technically there should be a retrace and maybe even try for another go to 2.10-2.20. Not that I hope for it, i have 76000 contracts of natural gas, worth around 195 000$ with ngas at 2.57..

Alright I'm gonna give you real advice. You can either take it or buy meme stock options and lose all the money you just got.

Pay off the 50k car loan.

Open a Vanguard or Fidelity account and put the remaining 90k in it. The settlement funds are paying 4% even if you don't invest it.

Buy like 60k worth of boring index ETFs. Like 40k of VTI and 20k of VXUS, or 60k of VOO, whatever.

YOLO 15k of it using the shit advice you get here so you can learn how easy it is to lose money.

Keep the other 15k in the settlement fund as cash. Unless you already have some cash in savings, then fine yolo that too.

First off, obligatory condolences - congrats & fuck you. This sets you up for success financially. Pay your car off, DCA into index funds.

A short time later…

Get bored and overconfident, realize investing isn’t hard, it’s easy as fuck - sell it all.

Immediately after…

Invest all your hard earned money (lol) in 0DTE SPY calls, lose it all, be an even bigger disappointment to your now dead father.

Fin.

buying TQQQ or UPRO have the potential to get to a million without losing it all on Options and FDs. They're triple leveraged funds that track QQQ or SPY. You could lose it all if the market dropped 30%+ in a day, Decay will make you will lose money if QQQ doesnt gain more than 8%/year.
