Don't listen to any of these people's picks about stocks. Buy an ETF fund, preferably Vanguard ETF's, such as VOX or VAW: Here is why:
1-They have the lowest expense ratio
2-Annual turnover x<25%
3-Picking a winning stock is hard, it is hard for me, and I do this all day long
4-Don't invest in commodities due to high risk(beta>2 typically)
5-Mutual Funds are not as beneficial as they used to be. Expense ratios and commissions are too high, plus Prof. Malkiel analyzed that 75% of mutual funds underperform the market.
6-ETF's have similar feature to stocks, plus they limit volatility and allow for alpha that correlates with a specific benchmark, such as S&P 500, Utilities.
7-Only consider investing in gold, wheat, coffee, milk, crude oil (all commodities only DURING BEAR MARKETS). There is a direct negative correlation between bull markets and commodity prices.
8-Don't invest in bonds or CD's. Actually never invest. Although money is guaranteed the return is so low. Plus with inflation so high, you would actually lose money if you held it for a long time
9-Equity investments in ETF's and stocks shows that after factoring recessions and bull runs,ETF's and stocks have a annual return of 10.3% per year, bonds is around 5%, CD's varies between banks(online banks have highest, followed by credit savings banks, and last comes in big banks). Savings is around 1-3% a year.
10-Investing in money (forex trading) requires a vast amount of capital, $2,000 would not be effective in forex since commissions would eat a huge chunk. Plus exchange rates are high.
11-ETF's provide stability and tend to give out dividends once a year(usually around Dec. 9-20, at end of 4Q). This minimizes tax to be paid. Also you can make decision on when to sell,thus you control when you have to pay for capital gains tax.
12-This is the most important thing: When mutual funds are losing money, you still have to pay managers for holding your fund and trading.

RE:

What would be the best way for me to invest $2000 and get the best return in a short-time.
Not a long-term investment, but a short-time.

Can you afford to lose it? If so, go to the casino and put in on black, you could double up in 30 seconds.
Assuming you can't you need to be careful about the fees you'll pay to put money in and take it out again from various investments such as stocks.
Anything that is short term will either be really low return or really high risk. Maybe the best thing is to stick it in a high return bank account to preserve it's value until you really need it. I'll watch to see if anyone else offers anything more hopeful but if it was that easy, guess what? We'd all be doing it.

This penny stock service has years of proven experience. Ultimately it is the best service for beginners to use https://tr.im/wswo5
You will have to wait between 3 and 10 days to get into the system in most cases. When I signed up it took 8 days. I wished it was faster, but if you can wait a week or two to start earn life changing money than you will have what it takes to make it in this business.

Well you have 2k so that is enough to margin trade (trade with more money than you actually have) which could lead to larger profits or if your not careful larger losses. I would say look for a stock in technology because most of them have been performing quite well (NVTL and SWIR especially) and watch them carefully, don't be afraid to use stops and cut your losses if you loose too much. And never take money advice from someone who is broke...so if you want to you can disregard this post..........good luck ;)

Let's see, if I looked at companies with above average profit, above average earnings growth, and above average dividend, one stock screener spits out: BRT and RAS.
Both have been falling recently, as both are in real estate, but now what is the news of the housing starts? Hmm, if housing looks up, want to bet these will too? I'm not going to put my money on it, but it is worth a look. If you go with that old line about 'buy low and sell high', these are low.

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/vt2dY
