I have OP magic. I can reverse time and take my money back from your future. There is no escape from OP Magic Lemmings.

You have 1 year. What do you do with this small sum of money?

I'd invest in a CD at a credit union. No risk of loss and at least a 3-4% rate, or I'd park it in a high interest savings account. Some are even close to 5%. Then I'd ask for the same deal again next year and every year after lol

I refuse to accept it. I don't make deals with magical tricksters. Same reason I don't fuck around with genies. It's just not worth it man.

Probably get myself elected somewhere and use my privileges to screw the country for millions in the same way that my elected representatives have been doing since this century started.

Doing a decent job for the country's citizens seems rather passe these days.

Buy some government bonds, I guess? Stocks investment seems risky right now. What happens if I have less than 1 million when you try to take it back?

People are apparently pulling out of US treasury bonds too

Swiss government bonds.

I'd make it a point to not invest anything in the US, anyway.
