How can I double $150k in a month or two?

Answer 1

If you really have a lot of money and can afford to play with $150k, the best shot is to open a large account with a broker that handles hot IPO's and trade heavily so that you generate a lot of commissions. Then they will let you in on the game of ripping off ordinary investors. They let you buy a new stock at an artificially low price, then they let the suckers bid up the stock, sometimes doubling the price in a day or two, and you sell if you get a double. The brokers won't let even their best customers do this often, but if you're going for just one quick double, I think these are your best odds.

If you can't get an inside price on an IPO, you can try your luck in the open market. If you bought Trina Solar, a Chinese IPO, on the open market on its first day of trading, you would have doubled your money in a month or two. Asian IPO's, especially China's, are hot right now.

Or you can use massively leveraged instruments, like futures or options, to try to get a double from a moderate move in a stock or commodity. If you buy the right option, you can double your money on a stock moving 5% or less in the right direction. If it doesn't move or moves against you, however, you lose everything. You'd be a fool to try this with 150k unless you are so wealthy that losing 150k wouldn't hurt you.

Answer 2

Buy a call option on a rapidly rising stock or a put on a falling stock.

Some of the near term options on GIGM, a China Internet company have tripled as the stock has gone from around $11 to $15 over the past 4 weeks. The April $12.50 call has gone from $.90 to a current $2.65

Of course you have to pick the right stock out of many.

Answer 3

To double your money in a month or two would take something with an annual rate of return between 450% to 850%. To get that, you will have to resort to something illegal, or hope you get lucky with a stock pick or sports bet.

Believe me if something could yield that much in that short of time, EVERYONE WOULD BE INVESTORS. In the mean time,Invest some of your assets in a business that can earn you residual income. In fact, Warren Buffet, one of the richest investment gurus, just purchased a company that does a home based business providing residual income.
