I have done it a few times + have had many 80%+ return years. Mostly I use covered calls, calendar spreads, and naked puts. By staying on the sell side of options I take advantage of 'most options expire worthless truth'. It works for me. But, it's important to find a trading strategy that works for your risk situation and emotional situation.
I cover the covered call strategy on my blog at this link. I think it's a good tutorial but would love comments. I'll add calendar spread and naked puts when I have some time. Covered calls are easy but usually good 20-30% per year barring getting routed by an ugly market. You have to add a total strategy of technical analysis, calendar spreads and puts to get up to that 100% mark. It ain't easy. So, take care and dont' risk more than you can lose.

I make about 10 % to 30 % a month on the currency trading portfolio that i am managing for the house account. For the year we are up over 250 % return. We trade mainly the G10 currencies.
If you are a retail investor looking to make fast money on a small account, my suggestion is to trade mini fx. For more information, visit www.fxcm.com . Have a look at the winners of the king of the mini contest on the website. Forex Capital Markets LLC is a licensed and registered FCM with the CFTC.

My overall stock portfolio is up about 40% over 4 years but in the last 12 months I've doubled one in particular. I bought Research in Motion stock (they make Blackberry) right after their lawsuit was settled and it's more than doubled since then. Just wish I had more.

I've doubled in 2 years. Check out my 360. I was mostly trading covered calls.

I would have to agree that options is your best best. Just make sure you study them a whole bunch before you start, unless you like living on the street in a box.
