Purchase as many Forever Stamps from the USPS office as you can afford to right before a stamp rate increase. According to the USPS, "The Forever Stamp, as the name suggests, can be used to mail a one-ounce First-Class Mail letter at any time in the future without additional postage, regardless of when the stamps are purchased or used and no matter how prices may change."

Tips & Warnings
The more Forever Stamps you purchase, the higher your possible profit. For example, if you purchase 100,000 stamps, and resell them after the rate increase for a penny more than you paid for them, you'll make a profit of $1,000.
Sell all of the stamps before the next rate increase or inflation will catch up with you. Your Forever Stamps won't be a profitable investment any longer.
