Possible, but it is very unlikely to expect a 50% return in one year.
6-8% is more realistic. |

The average return in the stock market is 11% a year. So the answer to your question would be a double no especially since you sound like you are new to investing in stocks. |

No, right now I would invest in secured bonds, you will gain interest and never lose a penny! |

If you 'play' the stock market to make a 50% profit in 8 weeks you better be using 'play' money. |

Or you can loose it all! To make $20,000 in only a year, you would have to take chances, so it could go either way. |

unlikely. when you buy shares you pay fees and duty's, and when you sell shares you pay fees and duty's, and then there is tax on your profits.
but say you owned 40,000 shares @ $1 the share would have to raise enough to cover your $20,000 profit, so your shares would have to rise by at least 50%.
some shares do well, but check it out how many companies pay dividends of 50% of investment. |

$20,000 is a very lofty goal. That is considered swinging for the fences and most likely it just end up as a pop up fly ball right into the outfielders mitt. Check my profile for a neat investment idea. |

Three words aptly describe the stock market: "huge fvcking gamble". It could crash one day, and you could lose all your money. On the other hand, it could soar higher than a monkey on LSD and your money could multiply who-knows-how-many-times-fold. Your fate also depends on what stocks you're buying, so wise choosing and a good, strong heart (in case the worst happens) are musts. I wish you the best of luck! |

depends on what type of stock you are buying and it is always a gamble |

well if you dont know how to read the markets then who knows?
but.... if you know how to trade then sure... you could make 50% in a year. But if you know how to trade then you should probly do something like Forex and make 250% in a year |

1) Yes. (At least $8,000.00)
2) Yes. (If you are a Hedge Fund Manager or a Mutual Fund Manager) |

The only way to know for sure is to use a crystal ball. If you put money into it then the stock market could crash one day and you could lose it all. |

Yes if you do well you could make more then that, but you have to invest in high risk stocks. Good luck if you do and don't put all your money into one stock.
Research the stocks well, look for trends and new technologies that are going to do well, like Nano Technology or new fuels.
Have fun. |
