Ask HN: How to turn $1,000 into $10,000 in a relatively short period of time? - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1480246
However, in this case a relatively short time might be 1-2 years. As we all know, value is in the execution so anyone willing to share some ideas?
Also, if you do this, you owe me $10,000.
Question of my own now: what is with this spur of people wanting ultra fast turn-arounds on small amounts of money? Genuine question, as maybe I come from an antiquated method of thinking, but if you want to invest with a turn around of two years, you might be investing for the wrong reason.
I have some programming skills, so i make an iphone app spend 5k on development tools and then another 5k on advertising. Selling my app for $10 and trying to make 10,000 sales. I think 1-2 years is a reasonable timeframe for this. To me this is what business is all about. Finding a way to take a small amount of money, applying your skills and turning it into a larger sum.
