Groceries. I'm so sick of the price gouging. Ketchup in my grocery store across the road was 6.99 a bottle yesterday. I did not buy any.

ABA for my son with Autism as Ford is to busy lining his and his cronies pockets.
3 yrs waiting for the funding we have been authorized for. Never had therapy in his life because of it.
I do hope for you that the funding you are waiting for will come shortly, so that your son can get all he needs 🤞
Thank you for your kind words.
My salary.
Yeah. I was going to go with my time myself.

Stocks. Doest matter they do, it will be 100% profit when selling.
Actually 🤓☝️ it's more like ∞% profit or undetermined
Still would only be 100% profit. Costed nothing to get them, so when you sell them, they will be 100% profit.
Profit = (sell price - buy price)/buy price
If buy price is zero, the division is undefined or the profit is "infinite" because you spent nothing to acquire the asset.
Having a profit of 100% would mean just selling at double the buy price, but nothing stops you at selling at 3x or 4x, having a profit of 200% or 300%.
To give a better example, try with lower and lower "buy price" (approaching zero). You'll see that the profit goes unlimitedly up
I may be wrong, no attacks intended (better to specify lol)
I think everyone in this thread is right. We seem to be disagreeing over the use of the article 'a'.
The OP said it would be "100% profit" which is correct. This is in the general sense that they paid nothing so that any price would be pure profit.
You're talking specific numbers, hence it is "a 100% profit". Depending on the price it could be any percentage like "a 213.75% profit".
You're both correct! It's funny how English works, right?!
Pretty much. No costs of buying the shares so it would be all profit.

what if you can't sell them? happened to me in a videogame once and I was stuck with thousands upon thousands of fish.
As a shareholder I would discuss the options of a share buyback program with the company.
No doubt they would prefer that then dumping a large chunk of them on the open market.
Although that would depend on the shares I got.
You got a stock that is low value and hard to sell on a company that doesn't seems stable.
Share buyback programs.
Sell the shares back to the company rather then on the open market.
After reading through the other answers, I'm not sure of what to make of the fact that my first thought was coffee.
My first thought was a local swimming pool. But infinite stocks would also be cool, I guess.
If you spend a lot on coffee, you can save up a lot by the end of the year
Mortgage/rent. Fuckers have ruined the market completely refusing to build.
Why lower profits when you can cartel instead?
Free rent/mortgage if basic necessities are allowed. If not... a Michelin Inspector permit (and associated training courses), I do like some good culinary experiences
The yearly salary of the worlds highest paid person, bi-monthly.
Healthcare. I’d get so much done and settled to be honest
Found the American
My mortgage.
Pain is shared
Alternative answer:
If I can get my money for nothing then I would like my checks for free.
Edit: It's actually "chicks" for free. Also the uncut version of this song is offensive like only something four decades old could be.
It uses a pretty nasty slur, true, but in the context of some ignorant jerk who thinks he's better than everyone. I don't believe Knopfler is a homophobe.

Gold
how much gold do you go through?
That wasn’t the question. It was asking what you want for free for a year. And this would be my answer too. Give me a year to gather as much gold as I can.
Unlimited power
Calm down, papatine.
Sex.
But, you can get sex for free... Or? At least through the apps. Just need to find someone up to it.
Lottery tickets
Brilliant idea, I must admit 😀
I honestly rapidly went through a bunch in my head, my first one was real estate, but then I was like.. "no, I'd need to get tenants in that fast cause that gets taxed separately, not just income tax", so then my backups were either gift cards, or lottery tickets :3
I ultimately went with the lottery cause it's less limited than gift cards, and even if they don't pay out all the time they have enough small payouts to get you hooked™ so at no cost even what would be putting me in the negatives irl would be profits in the hypothetical :3
And maybe if I make enough I can just hire people to check the tickets for me in the long(er) run hah

KETAM--
No, actually, I'd take music. I don't mean streaming, but buying albums to own. At that point, that's a subscription service gone.
I'd also take ammo for no reason in particular.
(I'm assuming crypto assets for unlimited money is cheating)
The heads of my enemies.
