Hey guys I wanted to do a short term investment on something, no clue on what, but I have $5k capital and need a ROI within 30 days. Any recommendations?

Heard of this but just did a quick google search on it. Do you have any experience with this betting system or any good links I could educate myself on it? What games are it best used with? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I never said I need a 100% ROI in 30 days, although would be nice, just looking to figure out a way to double or triple it with the least amount of risk out of my options. Serious replies only please guys. Just saying. I'd appreciate it

If I was a betting man I would predict another 5% decline in the next 30 days. Thus you want a high volume momentum stock and buy a in-the-money put option on it. Search stocks with a high price to sales, no earnings, large incentive option plan, and high market cap.

I think all the replies so far meet your goals, if the replies aren't serious enough consider asking a more serious question.

So you want to double or triple your $5k in 30 days?
Trying to find out your goals.

Bridges are hot right now with capital outflows from stocks and with bonds not looking like the safe haven they normally do, the standard play when VIX is off the charts is to get into the bridge market.

You only have 5K so you could use some margin, aka, a bridging loan. I know a great bridge broker, PM me.

In general I'd like to double or triple my investment in 60 days tops. Whether it be the stock market or some type or betting strategy with percentages in my favor. I'm willing to risk the 5k but I'd like for the odds to be slightly in my favor that's all.

Use the $5k to hire a crew to rob something.

What is this? Did daddy give you a loan that needs to be paid back in 30 days? Dip into the kitty? Genuinely curious.

Normally I could give a good recommendation likely to double or triple with low risk, but the markets are highly volatile at the moment. Bad time to be doing this.

Why? What difference does it makes if you're getting 47% or 53%? Your EV difference is $150. Just put in all on red at the casino.

I'm confused how this isn't a serious question? I came into a Investing Forum asking if there is any feasible way to make money off $5k capital and if so what would you guys suggest. If it's not realistic because it's not enough capital than I understand, that's why I came on here just to pick others peoples brains on what they may have done in the past or currently to make money.

And no I didn't get a loan from Daddy? LOL . This is my own capital I have saved from gambling winnings mostly and wanted to see if there was something that is a little less risky that would still generate ROI and profit besides just poker and sports betting. I'll still continue to do that with the few other grand I have total in capital. But like earlier stated I was just seeing if there's any realistic, serious ways to make a decent ROI with only $5k capital. Appreciate the responses fellas

No, you asked how to double or triple your money in 60 days. That's why you aren't getting serious answers. Maybe try for 5% or 10% return, with some high risk investments or bets. More than that probably won't be anything legal, or will be pure gambling with a good chance to lose it all. Nothing exists with low risk to get those returns.

Investment returns are payment for you to take on risk. They're always proportionate.

incredible thread

I'm amazed OP somehow saved $5k.

OP, think about it. If there were some supersystem where you could make bets slightly in your favor with the chances to double or triple your investment in 30-60 days, wouldn't everyone be doing it?

If you're actually good at poker and/or daily fantasy sports, that's the only suggestion that makes sense.

I think Roulette is your best option here. If you want even money put it on red, if you want to triple it bet on the first 12. You can get it done in a night too which means you can use the rest of the month to relax.

I'm willing to take risk. Obviously all investments involve some element of risk. I don't think going to a casino and putting the full amount on black or red is the best way in achieving what I'm trying to do. I have a 50% chance or prob a few extra percent in losing of losing half because of 0 and 00. Still don't get why I'm getting beat up on this thread. I'm not looking to sell drugs, etc etc. Like I know people that have put this same amount or less in a higher risk either buy or put short option and in a few days have made 3-5 k off same amount invested. Not saying this because I know it all or want to deal with the guy who'd done it and shown me his trading account to prove it. I just came here to ask what options, IF ANY would be available? And I don't see how it's hard to save up $5000.00. Were you taking a shot at my intellect and I'm incapable of saving money? Like really? Geez I'm just feeling out ideas and opportunities.

No one understands why you are considering anything besides sports betting and poker, those are the only practical activities to achieve what you're trying to do. Investing is very different, generally even very talented investors expect <50% returns per year, and you're trying to accomplish twice that in a matter of months. Active investing is most practical when you have at least some cash ($25k-$100k+) to invest because otherwise it's not time efficient (although there are many exceptions, albeit usually impractical).

If you have $5k, the best return you can get is a job or a similar activity to trade your time for money (poker and sports betting count). No one thinks its hard to save $5k. Yes we think you're stupid.

People who trade high risk derivatives with high variance, do have outliers like this. Ask to see all his trades including all the losers, and ask his average result. The example you gave might be 1 in 100 or worse.

If you do take it to the casino roulette is one of the worst games to play with a 5% house edge. Much better off with craps or blackjack.

Really? That's mature bro calling me stupid for no reason? I didn't come at anyone's intellect on these posts. Came here asking for advice that's it. Never was disrespectful, but hey man you wanna be a d*ck for no reason so be it.

Who said I didn't have a job? I have a job , a pretty decent one like an average American. All I need and needed to hear in these replies from others is that with $5k it's not realistic to be profitable short term. Or at least expect a double ROI over 60 days. That would have been the normal thing to do instead of just trying to demean someone for no reason. I also never stated I wouldn't look into a more long term investment either. I just said this is what I have now $5k to invest that wouldn't affect my daily life if I lost it because I have a JOB and also a few other grand saved up as well. But next time I'll just keep quiet and won't ask for advice .
