i mean, i need to be clear: i'd be highly unlikely to fund this account on my own initiative. i'm really not very interested in buying stocks or tending to investments; it's just not something i'm very interested in.

however, the government is giving me $70,000 in grants and putting it in an account that is singularly meant for this purpose. i can't do anything else with these funds; the money has to be invested.

so, i'd might as well make the best of it.
