Specifically, I would put

20K on PBR. with dilution behind the company and no more dilution prospectively, it will be by far the fastest growing oil/gas upstream/downstream in the world. Little downside from here, terrific upside.

10K on PHM. Trading at 80% of book value and housing starts at historic lows and no dilution prospectively, 2011 will be the year that homebuilders turn the corner. Little downside but huge upside from here. In 5 years when new homes sold are back to the 1M level, this stock will be in the 30's.

20K cash/low yield account.

I'm guessing that for most, holding 40% in cash wouldn't yield better results, than investing most of it. You've definitely got the potential of finding amazing bargains, so having that cash ready to jump on them probably really benefits you. While the market might get bumpy for awhile, for most, having that 40% probably wouldn't do much. Perhaps leaving 10% in Cash in case of a great bargain would be great, or in case of an emergency, but 40% seems pretty high for most investors. The other 30-35% comes in terms of easy to obtain credit for most.

This is also based on previous messages by Kevin, showing he has a good grasp on his expenditures, a good paying job and probably very employable even in the event of a job loss. Compounded with the fact that credit is extremely cheap right now, even if he needed the money, he could wait several months for the market to change direction.

Wait for oil to go below $70 and load up on solid companies there.

The stock suggestions are good, though I'm not sure if I can invest in most of those companies with a clear conscience. I mean, Altria is responsible for Kraft singles!

With inflation picking up, it almost seems like I could throw this money in a mutual fund with a cheap, fast wire transfer, and be just as safe as anything else.
