Edited by: Aceehrrs on 21/03/2011 08:05:39 Posting on an alt for obvious reasons.
So I've finally reached the point in Eve where my revenue significantly exceeds my operating expenses. I have enough liquid isk to buy a new character, but not one much more skilled than the one I'm already using. At the moment, I'm thinking about taking a vacation and just logging in to change skills.
With respect to assets, I already have two appropriately endowed jump clones, a modest collection of T2 and faction ships, and the fittings for each of them.
Meanwhile, I find my piloting options far more restricted by my character sheet than my wallet. I've flown in hisec, nullsec, and w-space, but I feel like I don't have the skill points to justify the expenditures my wallet allows me, and I still find it difficult to justify negative-capital activities.
I know I'm still a small fry, but it's that 10-digit figure, you know? Oh, MD Elite, what advice do you have for me?
Edit: I suppose the wisest choice would be to invest it, but I've read enough stories on this forum to question the wisdom of that decision...

obvious answer is to reinvest your money and increase the scale of your business (maybe buy specialized alts if necessary).

It sounds like what's holding you back is the inability to fly what/how you want. You state that you can't upgrade to a much higher-skilled character with your current wallet balance.
If you want the fast track to a better character, then you need more money. Alternately if you are willing to go idle while your current character trains up, then putting your ikies somewhere to grow while you take a vacation is an option. The bad news is a bulk of the 'investment's in eve are little more than thinly veiled scams. There's a good chance you'd return to eve with fewer iskies than you left with.

Long-term = Guidance systems. Short-term = Margin trade.

1) Take 50% and put it in trustworthy bonds or invest it in the market trading etc.
2) start a second character, maintain him with PLEX. Train him for PvP and nothing else.
3) join RvB, Tuskers, Sniggwaffe etc and PvP like crazy
4) loose all of your iSK in 2 months.

Look at the markets, find the trends that take more than 3 months. They do tend to cycle. Place your buy/sells inside these trends. Sit back and make money, use the profit to buy plex and train skills and occasionaly log on to the forums and tell someone to do exactly this.

This is probably the best advice in this thread.

What you don't do is come to MD and make a thread about what to do with your money.
Oh....too late.

Yeah, if you're going on vacation and just logging to skill change, I'd go PLEX to. Don't know how long you'll be AFK, but PLEX seem to hold their own over any space of time and can sometimes spike if you need the ISK.
Time plus possible opportunity cost = Win for the AFK Skill trainer.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. And for what it's worth, I had already started an alt and PLEX collection, so it seems I'm at least on the right track.
The responses were actually friendlier than I expected. Thanks for the pleasant surprise.

Hey, that sounds like a great investment opportunity.
I send you 1 isk, and every time you send me back double, I'll give you back 1.5x my last transfer?

Be bold pilot.
It's in the opening cinematic and is the best advice anyone can give you about eve.
You create your own gameplay, the character sheet is only there to lull you into passivnes while the rest are playing the game.
-become an deligent corp member, then rip everyone of or carry your organization to greater glory depending on disposition. -infiltrate a 0.0 alliance and use your inside view to arrange hijacks of their transport line with other chars -set up your own production corp/wh buisness -do active aggressive market activities -do small scale pvp just for the fun of it -join the blobs in 0.0 and either pvp or indy.
In all these cases characters are available on the bazar pretty cheap for the person with a clue.
Just a few options, just find it a bit sad when people don't understand the posibilities and afk play for years to get some ship that has nothing or little to do with the gameplay.
