Knowing Americans these days, I'm sure it will be something stupid.

If you had $50000 to invest for the future, where would you put it to make the most money?

$5,000? If you have any debt without a fixed interest rate- pay off debt first.
If your debt is manageable and all at fixed low rates then I’d invest it.
Research and invest in growth orientated US companies that make something or offer a service you understand. Find companies with reasonable or inexpensive valuations. Practice dollar cost averaging and buy little chunk cover time.
Or invest in inexpensive low fee index funds. Again, invest in smaller chunks over time, to protect your yourself.

Land
Off market property assignments... then invest a little rehab and list within 30 days of purchase
Just finished one all in at 46k in Macongo... listed 135k and got full asking conventional loan buyer with 5k down and 3 day due diligence...

I also snagged a haunted house in Macongo historic district for 10K cash closed within 20 days.
Immediately relisted with a local agent for 49k, ended up in a bidding war and got $64k cash.
Edited to make the final statement clear, sorry.

Not being picky but I don't get the math. ie Spend 10 sell for 49 = 39 gross profit to the bank, (less after agent's fees).
Did the agent get more than your 49 asking price?
I think there might be some opportunities in the not-so-distant future if someone is sitting on some cash. Buying I bonds in the meantime to park that money for a while seems to make sense.

Russian AKs and 7.62x39 & 7.62x54r ammo.
MREs
M1 Garands and 30-06 ammo
They are probably only going to increase in value. If the "dollah" collapses, I'd still have high value stuff to trade!

At current rates I am finding I bonds very tempting. What is holding me back is backed by the "full faith and credit of the United States Government," and to be honest, I don't fully trust the US Government to remain solvent.
