My best advice is not to go posting figures like 5 million on a forum, you'll be bombarded with people who want your money. Some may be good, some may be bad. The second best advice I can give is not to include the word 'nubee' (which is spelt 'newbie' by the way) in the same sentence as 5 million dollars. You're begging to get scammed.

You could start by reading some books and articles on prudent investment.
