So you're looking for a return well in excess of 100%? You're going to have to take some serious risk and put it all in a stock you expect to grow through the roof. And then only extremely good luck can help you. Pigs get slaughtered as the saying goes...
PS - With rergard to @Franksprung's comments - a Google search reveals thousands of both pigs and hogs comments -- and more pigs. Additionally, given your extremely aggressive goal, you would not want to diversify yourself into multiple stocks because that would serve to lessen your chances of reaching it (your aggregate return would march toward the stock-market mean). We all agree that diversification is generally a good thing and it's usually not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket, but advice has to be given in context.
PPS... If a sub $5 stock price increased the chances of it going through the roof, you'd see a hell of a lot more low-priced stocks and split activity.

Honestly, ... try this.
Visit swisscash.net
I am an investor with them and have a US$50K portfolio there. I'm getting paid every month on time as promised and guaranteed. The average returns are 20% per MONTH!
You can recover your initial investment amount within 8 months and then it's profits on the run from there.
Read the details...it's easy to understand.
It's not an MLM...nothing to 'market'. You can just be an investor and reap ur returns which are guaranteed as stipulated.
You can visit my financial site provided by them at www.swisscash.net/sgamk1632202
There are alot of negative blogs and people tagging it as a scam.
I know what has happened. There were reports that SC investors scammed others...but I wonder why the corrected newspaper reports are not being circulated. It was never a SC involvement but some clowns scamming others by encouraging them to invest with some Swiss Union Bank. Anyway, hell with skeptics. So far there has been no complaint from a single SC investor that he/she did not get paid as guaranteed.
By the way, I am in touch with some senior consultants of Swisscash and I must say, they are serious dynamic professionals and I'm confident they will be profitable for at least the next few years.
I started with $1K initially and then after my confidence with them, I have now increased to $50,000.

You are basically looking for at least 100% gain, since taxes will consume 35% (short term capital gains). Stocks will give you the best opportunity.
Several very successful investors foresee a major market "correction" (crash) sometime in the second quarter (April - June). I'm guessing the market will crash about mid-May. So, wait for the crash and buy stock when they're cheap. Look for good companies, like Corning, that go down in price. Corning in 2000 went down from about 20 to less than 2. Then over the next couple of years it went back up to 20.
Buy low. Sell high. Warren Buffet likes to buy a dollar's worth of a company for a quarter. Always do your homework. Open an account with a discount broker. Scottrade offers good service and has many local offices. They charge about $7 per trade.
I'm doing this now. I bought stock in a company in distress that is now recovering. My investment has gone up 500% in 16 months. But, I watch and study it daily. You have to do the research and keep on it. No buy and forget.

The only way to get a return like that is possibly playing the stock market,but that is risky. 2000 is too little to invest in a CD. Maybe go to Vegas and gamble if you are good at cards.

Investments do not normally make this much of a profit in one year.
If you really need that much in one year your best bet is to work for it. Other than that gambling is probably better than investing unless you don't mind making 5 to 20% in the stock market.

I know a site that can grow that to atleast $3,200 HOWEVER this is a long term investment. You cannot withdraw you investment anytime. You have to wait for the term to expire. For more information, please take a look at http://www.international-investment-pool.freewebsitehosting.com/index.htm
that is 5% times 12 months =60% so the rate of return for one year is $2,000x1.60= $3,200.

you will have to invest in a High risk because hardly anything over $5 dollars a share is going to give you a 200% return Your going to want to diversify it also. in to at least 2 stocks. and its not pigs its hogs.

buy $1999.00 dollars worth of scratch of lottery tickets and throw three quarters in a wishing well before you use your last quarter to scratch them all.
either that or try to get really lucky on cheap stocks.
your odds are the same either way.

You need at least $25,000.00 USD to do that.
An Excellent Mutual Fund will make you maybe $2,800.00 after a year if you use margin.
Your goals are unrealistic.

agressive stocks or a mutual fund or money market
these are the best options but I do't think you will make that much!
How about gambling...it's the same as the market...LOL
