Spending signing bonus

Any suggestions for some higher risk positions I could take if I wanted to blow my signing bonus and some of my summer savings (but that aren't completely foolish)? Say about $20k I'd take to the casino, fully aware that I could walk out with nothing. Long equity only, no leverage, max 1 year holding.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Any suggestions .... if I wanted to blow my signing bonus ....

Looking forward to your suggestions.

I mean you could add in some hookers too.

Edit: Also: straws. $100 bills look cool, but they don't really function that well.  Don't get the paper or reusable metal ones either.  You want plastic and not the big-gulp kind.  Narrower is better.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
