I was going to post illegal or offshore but in all seriousness, what do people with money want and are willing to part with their money for?

Most profitable but not legal? Drug dealer!

Legal? Pawn shop!

I figured the pawn shop would do good because people are selling their stuff for cash and people are buying from pawn shops instead of retail for the cash savings. I could be wrong though.

Another thought is to either get into show biz or the Mafia. According to Silvio Dante those are the only two true recession proof businesses to be in.

Moving companies and beer wine liq. stores.

In good times and bad they are always working. Poorer people move down in size, richer up. And everyone drinks their troubles away.

My brother in law is in wine sales and has been all his life. His parents got him into it and he was doing very well until about 8 months ago when he got laid off. He hasn't been able to find a job yet.

Frivolous Lawsuit Attorney ... the industry is booming.

The plaintiff lawyers bank.
The defendant lawyers bank.
The judge has a customer.
All of the administrative staffers at the courthouse enjoy the work.
The Democrat politicians receive political contributions.

Funeral home as more people are desperate the mortality rate will continue to increase making it the perfect business for this economy since we have no choice but to cremate or burial.
