You could make lots, but even the best investor can
have losses. And a high quad (if on a vent) gets lots of money, the smart thing
to do is safe low risk investments. Plus 30-40% goes to the lawyer. Yes you
could live off this, but if you need to pay 24-7 nursing (not just a helper, but
nurse), it can go fast. I assume you didn't need that an could risk a bit more
than him.
I'd try and figure out my expensive, invest enough
in bonds to cover that, then be a bit more risky on the rest.

"5.7 million isn't going to last very
long."
Bullony- 25 years ago I was paralyzed
from the neck down. After 2 1/2 years of hospitalization I put myself
to school with a mouthstick and was hired soon after as a computer consultant
for a Fortune 500 company. Four years after my accident awarded
900,000 dollars for breach of contract against my insurance company. (My lawyer
was a whimp, taking the first offer when he should've held out!) I bought
five books on technical analysis and studied every aspect of the stock
market. When the Dow moved from 2000 to 10,000 I made is much his
150,000 dollars a year on my investments. Unfortunately, the stock market
has been rather flat for the last few years except for the energy and utility
sector. I could double that 5.7 million in five years. 20 years
after my settlement I'm still heavily invested in the market, and still,
unfortunately, paralyzed from the neck down. Peter 25yrs
