Ask HN: $5000, 18 months. How do I get the best return? 2 points by jkaykin 12y ago ↗ HN I would love to hear the best ways I can invest $5000 and get the highest return in 18 months. Thanks!
[–] jlgaddis 12y ago ↗ Like pretty much anything, the answer is "it depends".CDs, index funds, an IRA, individual stocks, etc., are all options. Your decision will largely depend on how much risk you're willing to assume.
[–] SimpleXYZ 12y ago ↗ It's all about risk. The roulette table will give you a 100% return in 10 seconds. It's very risky though...
[–] adamredwoods 12y ago ↗ More risk, better returns:-Hedge funds or hedge bitcoin.-Find someone in need and offer them a $5k loan for 10% interest, payable in 18 months.-Bet on Black.
[–] NicoJuicy 12y ago ↗ Depends on your skill.What are you good at? Programming, invest some personal time and get a webapp or a recurring income stream.. Would be my 2 cents.5000 ain't that much to be honest.. But 18 months is a long time to finish an app and get recurring revenue from it.
