...and your goal is to turn it into $1 million over the next 10 years. What's your best (legal!) shot at making it? Small business start-up? Cherry picking the real estate wreckage? Something involving emerging markets like China and India? ...Porn? ;)

(By the way, in case anyone's wondering, I'm not actually sitting on $50k. I'm just throwing the question out there for sh*ts and giggles.)

Every morning there's multiple murders reported on the TV. Kids killing kids, mostly. Sometimes they kill older folks, but that's less common.

This morning CQ Press released its annual crime rankings comparing cities across the nation on incidences of murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft. According to the survey, St. Louis had the highest crime rate in 2009 with 2,070.1 violent crimes per 100,000 population, compared with a national average of 429.4.

Invest in a cloud computing start up.
Wait for the real estate market to take the next big dip, then invest in mid range easy to fix up DIY properties.
Put some in Apple stock.
Invest in an electric car repair facility.
Invent and market a way for Americans to be even lazier.
Find a food that will hit more endorphin centers than chocolate, corner the supply, and market it as a legal high.

Lots of ways, use your imagination and bust your ***.
