Mine will be, above all, not buying up 2 year US treasuries before the fall.
I had a horizon that was compatible and the vehicles I've been in weren't exactly returning that much more than what the treasuries were themselves.
The only thing I would have lost on would have been the currency (I'm canadian) .. still, it could have been a good, large, safe bet, and I could have seen 20-40% appreciation.
Though, I have to admit, I would have been nervous as hell late in 2007 when the CAD was kicking major butt on the USD. I've learned since then, though, that there was really no chance that the CAD was going to keep those gains.
