If you had $1B, but could only make one investment with it, what would you do with the money?

Title says it all. Trading structure/strategy can be as complex as you'd like, but the money has to be put toward just one "bet." For example: shorting a call on a Euro stocks index and going long on EUR/USD puts to invest in the idea that the Eurozone will fall.

~$990M into shorting Tesla ~$5M into a contract on Elon Musk's life ~$5M on hookers and blow while I wait

How did this advice turn out for you ??

Tesla share price: - 3 March 2017 at U$50.31 - 23 November 2020 at U$546.52 (up > 10x)

You sir, are probably broke or fired (likely both)

Your "990M into shorting Tesla" would probably mean you're owing 10bn ... nice one !

 

hire a private military contractor (think G4S) to take over Botswana so I can control their Diamonds.

I'd buy treasuries. FDIC doesn't cover that much, and $1bn is enough to sail into the sunset.

if you're saying I can't spend the money I have to invest it but I'll get it back later, probably would buy something from tweedy browne or vanguard.

if you're saying I can't spend the money and I'll never get it, I'd give it to the Gates foundation, they're doing great things over there.
