What you are asking about is not investing, it is gambling. In actuallity you are looking for an annualized 7000% return on your investment (10X in 2 months).
Successful investing requires one to master the following 4 characteristics...
1. Appropriate Capital
2. Knowledge of the Market
3. Money Management
4. Discipline
To further illustrate my point, let me put these into an analogy. In a craps game, the amateur comes to the table with $1000. He is trying to make $10,000. He has a strategy, or so he thinks. But he lacks discipline to stick to it. If he gets up a little bit, he starts deviating from that strategy and making more bets. If he gets into a drawdown, he deviates from that strategy to try to get back to even. He lacks every single characteristic.
Now, the professional in this game probably bought in with $10,000 trying to make $1000. He’s not looking to break the bank, just grind out a living. Preservation of his bankroll is paramount to his strategy, and he is so concerned with that single fact that he does not deviate from his strategy. His approach to the game is based on the knowledge of the odds of every single bet on the table. Therefore, he applies this knowledge to a very well executed plan that includes what to do when he is winning and what to do when he is losing. He executes this plan with precision.

For such a large return, you would need to use leverage. You can obtain leverage by speculating in options, futures contracts or in the foreign exchange (forex) markets. Leverage cuts both ways, of course. You are more likely to lose your $1,000 (or even more if you are speculating in futures) than you are to run it up to $5,000 or $10,000, but it is not impossible to do this. |

No, while you could turn the 1000 into 10,000, you would technically need more to start. Here's why.
To turn your 1000 into 50000 in only a couple of months you will need to be an active trader. A day trader, or pattern trader, is one who "executes four or more trades within 5 business days (in and out)" and "the number of total trades is more than 6% of the total trades in the account." (These are NYSE rules). If you are a day, or pattern trader you must meet the NYSE and NASD rules for day or pattern trading.
These rules are that you must trade on margin. You can not day trade from a cash account. This means that for every investment you make you will be borrowing money from the investment firm, and you will have to pay them interest on that money. As an example - say you buy 50 shares of a $20 stock. That's 1000 - but you would be using $500 of your own dollars and $500 from the brokerage firm. So you would have to pay interest on this $500. This may not be a big deal when your stocks rise and you sell, but if your stock goes down, and you need to get out quick, you still need to pay the commissions, interest, and depending on the amount of money in your account also cover your losses. For this reason to be considered a day trader you must have a margin account with 25,000 in it. This is to protect you and the investment firm. There are investment companies that allow you to open margin accounts with as little as $2000. However, if you show by your trading patterns that you are a day, or pattern trader, the brokerage can ask you to deposit the 25,000, and suspend your trading privileges until you do. (The NYSE and NASD rules require this).
So you see, the answer is both yes and no. Put 25,000 in the margin account but only use the $1000 to invest - just to see if you can turn that 1000 into 10000 - which doesn't make much sense but you could do it. |

If you get an answer try to figure out why the person is doing this and not getting $50,000.00 of their own. |

Absolutey. Try options (calls or puts), or buy commodities with a margin account. Tremendous leverage. $5k is no problem. |
