Did you hear they make $150 million a year hijacking tankers and fish boats? My Jack Sparrow, that's a lot of money. The mistake they do is that they don't invest any money at all in pirate movies. A pirate gets bad publicity on the news and good publicity in the movies. All they have to do is invest a couple of million in Hollywood to make more pirate movies. That's it! Or hire costume consultants from Hollywood to dress them in traditional pirate attire. People will see them more sympathetically on the news this way. The rest of the money can stay buried under Somali sand :)

Investment Banging and Gambling
If you want more bang for your buck gamble it up. The practice is legit, made off first in the US banging and gambling industry which is going down the pipes of disrepute faster than you can say myth or spin. Or faster than even Madoff's wife can get a divorce from him. What else is left to make off? If someone works for the government that person is considered to be a civil servant. Why not call all remaining bankers whose banks were bailed out by the government civil servants too? The irony with civil servant bankers and traders is that their new job status wasn't made up but made off from sitting on a ticking bomb!

madoff hitman fund for companies
the name for a hitman fund after bernard madoff. basically investors and shareholders in a company set aside money to pay hitmen to take out swindlers, crooks and fraudsters. make it a requirement for banks, hedge funds, insurance and investment companies of any kind. benefits? delivers swift justice and guarantees efficient functioning of the markets as fraudsters must think about their life before they decide to swindle.
usually the real culprits behind big-time frauds tend to write books, give seminars, stay famous and continue to live in luxury a few years after the scandal. so instead of innocent investors who have been defrauded committing suicide, how about the real culprits get punished for a change? the current state of affairs is pitiful. hitmen contracts must be written in the bylaws of companies and kick-in automatically. if they don't prevent people from committing fraud, they will apply rightful justice after!

Think of your next purchase as an investment

Investing in something has the meaning that you get something back in return for your money. If you purchase a hybrid car what you get in return is the intangible profit of a less polluted atmosphere.
I think we should consider ourselves not just as consumers who buy something but as consumers who choose to buy something over something else because we know this purchase is a kind of investment and support for new technologies that are more environment-friendly over others.
For example, by choosing to buy a hybrid car over a conventional one you indirectly invest in the research behind energy-saving new technologies by supporting corporate profits that help fund research and help attract investors with capital that will in turn fund research in these new technologies.
When it comes to buying your next car for example, would you consider purchasing a hybrid car over a conventional one as a means to invest and support hybrid technologies that are more environment-friendly? Would you ever think of yourself as an investor this way?
Or would you only think of yourself as a consumer who saves money on gasoline or as a driver of a fancy, fast, reliable good car or whatever else its key selling points are?

With the rising costs of student loans, how about investing in someone's education, similar to buying stocks: Analogous to an Initial Public Offering (IPO) for a company, a student could circulate his/her resume among investors to raise money for college. Report cards are treated like quarterly earnings reports. Upon graduation, the student would then share a certain fraction of his/her salary with the share holders. The student has the option of buying back the shares from the investors (essentially repaying the loan).
