What would you buy with 3 bil and expect to later turn a profit?

BPO research.
Buy some important BPOs, toss them in a ME queue for awhile. Then either resell the BPOs at a higher price (some people are impatient and willing to pay for a researched BPO now) or make copies of them and sell the copies.

With Hulkageddon just a couple of weeks away, you may find that Exhumers, Mining Barges and/or Mining Mods a profitable short-term investment. Though as this is the 4th Hulkageddon, many people may already be on that band wagon.
come on now not another one to the list who does the same XD
well with hulkageddon low end mineral prices will most likely rise a tiny bit since lots of bots either gets killed or dosen’t mine at all thus lowering the supply.
maybe not a whole lot of profit but a profit most likely to be had.

One important thing, be on the look-out for the changes CCP will do in the patches. For example, when PI was announced and the retirement of NPC sold POS Fuel was disclosed, I know a couple of people who invested by buying a LOT (for billions worth) of Guidance Systems (price was at 418 at the time) and now look at the price. They basically made 100 of billions for some of them (4billion invested turned into 100billions) as they have sooo many Guidance Systems stocked. I did not look myself on the impact of Incursions but it seems a LOT of people are dying. Maybe there is something to invest in, like ships = what are the best ships used to run those incursions if there is any, ... I would do some research on the impact there.
I know it is not a direct answer but definitely a guideline to live by in a sandbox like Eve.

Tricky question.. ;) Are you thinking about trade items or making profit in general?
If I had such amount of ISK at my disposal - I'd go for as much Plex as possible. Plex price is going down atm (anyway it's slightly cheaper than few months ago) but if it starts to rise again - it could be prifitable.
My second choice would be buying another char.. For me, having alt in npc/other corp making ISK is very handy while your main is being at war.
