You probably already know this but if you save HSBC has the best APY for a savings account @ 5.05. Or treat yourself to the latest HD flatscreen, however the later produces no yeilds, lmao.:)

Oh Snap! I totally forgot about getting a 46" XBR2 LCD flatscreen! that would be nice! Great suggestion!

I should say, that this is money that I didn't expect to have, so it doesn't affect my regular savings plans and budgeting...

Give it to a kid with cancer and let HIM/HER go on Vacation.

buy IMMR.

P/E ratio of 5.3 with a 5 year growth rate of 12%.

60 patents or patents pending. This baby is a prime takeover candidate.

Oh it's in every iPhone

I say invest some, donate some, and enjoy some now. If it were me it would be more of the former two and less of the latter.
