    Actually the debt collection and repo industry is doing very well.

    They sell all the time tho!

    Unfortunately, no one actually pays for them though. Undertakers around the country are owed a fortune. They often don't get paid until the estate gets settled - which can take years. No I'm not in the business, but a buddy of mine is.

    Comfort foods. My friend's dad runs a bakery making various cakes / buns / pastries / sweet bakery products for large supermarkets, the recession has been there most successful period yet in terms of profit.

    They still have a steady income tho. Getting paid tomorrow for someone who died five years ago. And the same the next week and the next
