The risk of that investment should be very little and the time to get money back short as possible.

A 'risk-free' investment, such as a Treasury security, currently yields about 5.5%, and hence will fructify to double in about 13 years. In portfolio theory there is a direct correlation between the risk assumed (as measured in standard deviation of periodic returns) and yield.

You can go to Las Vegas and bet on Roulette and if you win you will double your money in a minute and the risk is just 50%
If you invest in a Mutual Fund or ETF you could get 25% in a year and you could lose 25% of your money in a year. This means you will double your money in about 4 years.
Can you afford to lose $2,500.00 in a year?

I find the best way to utilize investment funds to purchase a repossessed house, fix it up, take out a loan on that house, buy another house and sell the first one. You would have to know of a good carpenter and all-around handyman to make repairs if you aren't skilled in that yourself. Many business degree folks do this and rake in the money! Another source is to check your local government's listing of houses for sale because taxes are delinquent.

Buy magic beans. If it was quick and risk free, everybody would be millionaires.
