For one thing, unless you are dead sure that you have a winner, otherwise, do not put all your money (eggs) in one basket. In 5 years getting 100% return you are asking for some 20% each year. That is a lot. For 20% you are typically looking at high risk instruments.
Stocks can get you there if you are able to choose a winner but no one is sure when the next Gulf war, 911 or depression is going to hit.
Businesses are also a good bet but you have to be personally involved in it. If not to drive it, then to ensure that the strategy used is sound (and to your advantage).
Real Estate can be good but is largely dependent on location and the environment. 2 units on the same road next to each other can fetch different prices. Check out rental returns as well.
You mentioned business. Start ups can be risky and in general 9 out 10 do not survive. And many do not turn around until some 3 years later. My 2 cents worth is to invest in good start ups or expanding companies. These companies are always looking for money. Spread out your investments and cash out in 1 or 2 year's time. Because they need the money, you can negotiate terms in your favour. with a good strategy, you can hit the target. What business? New ideas, new concepts, new product, new services, etc. expand your scope and not be restricted to just your country. Check out the site below for some ideas. |

If the choices were A. Make 100% Profit or B. Lose my entire 300,000 I would find the highest limit crap table that offers 100X odds. If I could manage to make a 3,000 Do Not Pass Line bet(say with my own money) and back it up with the 300k that I had to invest I would get true odds on that 300k. So I would have a 50% chance of losing it all or hitting my 600k mark and getting to keep the entire sum. I do not believe you can come up with any traditional investment scheme with less than a 50% failure rate that could accomplish that.
For the record I do not consider gambling an investment, but with this specific scenario I think it is an option. Plus if you lose it all you might be able to negotiate one hell of a consolation dinner. |

I am an original founder of a successful VC backed internet company and am looking to sell some of my shares in the private market. As there is no public market I have to incentize the shares by offering them at a sizable discount below the price paid by its institutional investor nearly 2 years ago.
The business model and market segment have been very active with acquisitions during the past two years and this company is very well positioned to achieve liquidity well within the time parameters you have suggested.
If this might be of interest, drop me a note and I would be happy to provide you with further information on the company.

invest in dividend earning mutual funds, you not only earn a monthly payout (have it rolled back into the funds for more units), you also have the opportunity for the value of each unit to rise. five years is kinda tight, they usually say it takes seven years, however it depends where along the cycle the fund is when you get in |

You can invest in a Mutual Fund like Fidelity and make at least 20% per year for the next 5 years and they will double your money.
On the other hand, if you want to double your money in 3 years or less you can contact me.

Depending on when the five years starts, I would wait another 6 months to a year for the housing bubble to continue to deflate which indirectly affects LAND prices. Learn what you can about determining a piece of property's value (i.e. vacant lot in a growing area or where a big road will be in the near future) and buy several lots in different locations. This will take some studying on your part but it's definitely possible if land is involved. If you end up getting land in a remote area, plant it in pine trees (very cheap to purchase in bulk and fast & easy to plant with what's called an OST bar) for the future timber value for someone. This is what I would do in the scenario. Good Luck! |

if you don't need cash flow you could invest in an attractive commercial lot or other commercial property in a place which just starts developing, like Bandon, OR.
They started growing since they added the Bandon Dunes golf courses which now appear in the top hundred best golf course rankings. It attracts an ever increasing number of well paying tourists.
So - if I had that money that's what I would do. perhaps there is even commercial property with a structure available which you could rent out to a shop. |

Invest in an apartment or HOME! Look around, property that can be had for 300k USD NOW will only go up in value (as long as you keep up the property values with maintenance etc...).
BUY A HOME! BEST PROFIT and STABILITY for YOUR MONEY OVER TIME!!! God bless! |

You want to get 100 % in 5 years.
you dont go to a stock broker,you will be poor, he will be rich.
100 % sure is to buy real estate so you will never go under.
The safest thing now is a CD you will positively get 5% interest worry free. your 300000 willbe 375000 witout loosing sleep
Make sure your 300000 dont end up to 5000 in any greedy area. |

I would invest in real estate through a combination of REITs (Real Estate Investment Trust) and REIT mutual funds.
Van Kampen has a REIT mutual fund that has doubled in the last 3 years.
One advantage of using REITs and REIT funds is that you have great liquidity, you can sell them the next day if you wish. You don't have to wait months to sell them like you might with a house or an apartment building.
Another advantage is that you can pick one type of real estate, such as apartments, strip centers, shopping malls, office buildings or you can buy a cross section of them all. You can also get these types of real estate in one region or all across the country. Not to mention that these properties are professionally managed. You also get a nice dividend payment. No other real estate investment gives you such diversity. |

Personally, I would avoid real estate. When the same people who got burned by the Nasdaq freefall start yelling "buy real estate!" its a very good sign to turn the other way and don't look back. Millions of homeowners now have ARMs (adjustable rate mortgages) which they got because they couldn't qualify for a traditional mortgage. Now in this inflationary cycle, interest rates are rising and this will eventually hurt these people, possibly causing many homes to begin flooding the market. Remember, all things go in cycles. Real estate is probably heading towards the end of its cycle.
That said, you should probably look into commodity funds and stocks. This current commodity cycle is in relative infancy compared to historical commodity upswings. For example, demand for industrial metals (steel, copper, nickel) is soaring as China and India continue to ramp up their economies at around 10% annual rates. Also, consider that these 2billion people suddenly are beginning to be able to afford cars on a massive basis. That, in addition to a lot of metal, is a lot of oil that will be consumed. Therefore, consider energy and oil plays.
Another important point to note about metal and energy production is the long time it takes for, one, the metal or energy to be found, and two, for it to then be developed. With the twin consuming powers of China and India, in addition to the steadily growing and very large U. S. consumption, you will likely have a tight energy situation for years to come, and metal demand is on the verge of outstripping stockpiles around the world. (Search the news for nickel to see the most recent example.) Many sites on the web speculate on the possibility of oil being near or at its peak production forever (peak oil).
So, a couple ideas I would have would be Tata Motors (TTM), an Indian car manufacturer, Transocean (RIG), which drills for oil offshore, Phelps Dodge (PD), a copper and gold miner, Bronco Drilling (BRNC), a small cap onshore gas and oil driller, ConocoPhillips (COP) on of the supermajors with a significant stake in Russian oil giant Lukoil, and Valero (VLO), an oil refinery, and Schlumberger (SLB), a big cap oil driller, and an ethanol play like PEIX, VSE and ANDE, to gain from the continued push for alternative fuels. As always, do your own DD.
Anywho, thats what I'd do. |
