Any trading ideas to make $50,000 fast?

True but not at only a 10% risk to double your money. That is not anywhere reasonable IMHO.

Yes except you are missing the simple fact that you cannot find anything that will double your money with only a 10% chance of losing it.

If you are willing to accept a 50% chance of losing it then there are plenty of ways to meet your double or nothing requirements.

Someone with $1,000,000 would love to place 20 $50k bets on such a proposition...just think what kind of return a fund manager would have with those odds...you are not thinking logically.

Considering the market's upside bias (general and always), I like the idea of buying a call option on something which has shown Relative Strength during a panic decline.

It is much harder to find that many double or nothing opportunities in the market place. It is also harder for a fund manager due to liquidity issues.

I think if one is careful and with proper execution, you can find 90% win and 10% losing trades with great pay off, if you are a small time trader.
 
Buy a brick of crack - 90% you'd double your money in a year, downsides are potential prison term and drive by "attention" for taking over someone elses territory :D

I have $50,000 that I am willing to lose for a 90% chance at $100,000 in a short time (less than a year), where I am willing to risk a 10% chance of losing everything. I am looking for a 100% bet.., but I am willing to lose it as well. help...

The effort has to be minimal as I am not able to focus on the markets during day time. I am looking for that one big idea that you may have and is willing to share... THANKS...

I'll humor the troll. Buy an SPX DNT 1300/1600 with a Mar 3, 08 expiration. $8,500 pays $50,000 if neither barrier is hit. The pricing is accurate/executable. Rinse, repeat.

I do believe the Brit lost his bet... which would fit in the OP's business plan of losing it all.
