If you could go back in time and redo your life how would you make money?

So the rules are that you go back and relive your life with all the knowledge you have now and you have to make as much money as you can. Careful though, too much tampering and you might change the timeline too much.

Here's mine,
I would go back to around 1995 when domain names first went on sale and register the like of loans.com, happybirthday.com, banking.com bank.com stamps.com etc

This would be a small enough change as not to change the outcome of the technological history. In around 2001 these domains sold for a lot of money. Loans.com sold for 3 million for example and you could clock up a load of these during the .com boom. Then, using that as seed money I would basically make facebook or invest all of it into apple. Imagine putting a few hundred million into apple when they were looking for recovery money, you would be a billionaire.

Anyone do any better?
