£900,000 into no-risk investments. I'll trade £100,000 on CFDs and FX. I figure with that much capital, I can afford wider stop-loss/limit spreads so should be able to triple/quadruple that in a year perhaps - then £400,000 the next year, do the same. Keep doing that for a decade. Live off the interest on the £900,000 for the time being and also hold down a job in the City. Then retire in ten years time with way more than £1m!
