This was an interesting two part question that I go in an interview that I probably could have answered better, but definitely could have answered worse. I'm just curious how others respond.
1) If you could see into the future and know any single piece of information from the WSJ one year from now, what would it be and why?
2) You only have $100, how do you make money of this?
Note the entire stock quote page does not count as a single piece of information, a single quote however would.
the interest rate
The interest rate is a pretty good one. The price of oil is another data point that would open you up to a lot of strategies.
whatever you can get the most leverage on that you expect to be far from where it is not. interest rates, oil, gold, silver, or go with some kind of merger so you can buy far OTM options on the target before it happens etc
Either some kind of pending catastrophe or the outcome of a current catastrophe (think knowing the outcome of the BP spill during April when shit was hitting the fan) and picking up calls or puts and selling the reverse. Black swan anyone?
