I find a job, no matter how menial or degrading, for 1990-1995 while I execute the following trading strategy:

Year Stock Return (Low to High) Investment Value at Year End
1990 MTR 1,556.69% $82,834.50
1991 CATO 1,025% $919,092.63
1992 RGLD 1,170% $11,019,384.99
1993 CRMT 2,032% $234,932,835.78
1994 MTR 1,000% $2,584,261,193.58
1995 MTR 900% $28,427,350,129.38

In each case I buy at their low for the given year and sell at their high for the given year.

By the end of 1995 I'm set to retire in incredible luxury by just blowing a billion dollars on whatever strikes my fancy. The rest of the money I hand out to whatever group, neighbourhood, cause, whatever that I think needs money to the tune of a million dollars a day. Since I've probably got about 15 years left to me after that, my remaining money goes into a trust that does a "perpetual withdrawal" scenario. Assuming a conservative 5% return on the trust's account, I can perpetually pay out about 3.5 million dollars per day forever. The trustees would be tasked with paying out according to my rules, of course.

the stockmarket is not a casino, you cannot simply put $200 million on a car dealership company in 1993 and expect it to pay out the same way without altering the timeline

You wouldn't know this though unless you are a stock autist in which case, cool

Edit: I am not so I would put it all into apple at 31 cents a share. Would be worth something like 700 mil now with all the stock splits. The Forrest Gump strategy
