I'm currently sitting on 2b which is far more than I've ever owned, due to me winning a promo blink.

Any ideas on how to invest this ISK? I have 0 trading/industry skills...

You could wait for my next bond in just over 2 weeks. I'm still working ont the details so keep a look out for it. Smile

Buy something. That's the best I could think off I'm afraid :-)
You might donate it to Vaerah fund too. That's a great investment to clear your conscience of being dependent on gambling.

It really depends on what you have access to and there are a lot of options. If you have access to barren/temperate planets with zero tax POCO's you can make a fortune investing in reprocessing planets. I run two robotics factory worlds which make about 66 robotics per hour. Generates about 571m ISK a month in profit. I do similar things with other PI goods that have a reasonable profit margin.

You can also do this with POS reactions but they are capital-intensive operations so 2B wouldn't allow for the really good reactions.

The simplest thing to do would be to read a station trading guide and get familiar with that .01 isking people to death and then reselling the goods. Alternatively you can choose to dump the ISK into one of the many bonds/funds on the MD forums. There's a solid mix of short- and long-term funds and bond offerings and most offer a pretty good return. Anyway as with everything else there's no straightforward answer so you have to research your options and figure out what works best for you.

It depends on what you like doing ingame. You could buy a pimped pirate BS and rock incursions for big payouts, you could start stationtrading, you could step into faction warfare with a huge isk buffer to afford you to learn without worry.
You could invest in any of the many MD loan requests, just make sure to check it out properly first so you diminish the risk of giving your isk to someone who'll just walk away with it.
